Must admit do get weary of all my friends, etc., having a go at me for my excessive smoking and enjoyed some of the comments above. I am a lost case and can only agree that better not too than to. When I started work, the M.D. had a beautiful veneer cigarette box with posh cigarettes,silver lines down the paper. Stuyversant (can't spell it) I think. He offered them to visitors along with lemon tea. Now, wherever I go on busines, always offered a coffee ... mmmm caffeine and all that .. not long before this will be ban perhaps.
Where I presently work, there is a ban .. not arguing ... thought of fag ash all over my keyboard aint pleasant, however, there is a little room where employees who have been there since 1990 can go and have a fag !! As I have only been back with them for 5 years not allowed, so have to sniff up the air as I pass. How quirky is that ?? Think may have been something to do with the Unions.
Also, know of a couple of people now who have been fined £50 for dropping their stubs in the street. Was in Manchester Saturday and noticed that all the litter bins do not have the ash tray on top anymore .. another ploy to extract money from us smokers,eh.
