Re: Fags out.

Heaven forfend that we should seek to imitate the French.

As for detailing all the health benefits of not smoking I doubt a smoker would be swayed by them. The addiction has too strong a hold. They often find a way to rationalise the habit citing the revenue earned from taxing their cigarettes as a prime example of why we should not try to dissuade them. In the end it's merely an excuse and they know it but won't admit it.

I've tried to persuade someone close to me to quit and for a while during a brief period of success this person was full of self righteous admiration. Alas it didn't last and now the excuses come forth and I have tired of the discussion. If someone really doesn't want to quite they will find any available excuse to justify not doing so.

If you must smoke then please do so in the privacy of a closed room which I do not have to enter. If there is one thing I cannot stand it is inhaling second hand smoke and the smell of stale tobacco. Oh, that's two things. lol
