This is an argument which will never be resolved. Back in the sixties the Armed Forces provided tobacco allowances for all personnel as I guess Jambutty knows. It was even approved of to have a quick ciggie whilst in your hospital bed in those days. It wasn't thought to be harmful then.

I have my own rules. I don't smoke where there are children, especially in enclosed spaces, even though their parents might be. Nor where people are eating. In my own home I do what I like.

As for having a cigarette at a bus stop, well, why not, you can't have one on the bus and you probably can't have one when you get to where you are going.

Twenty years ago, or maybe not even that long, it was possible to make a choice in England but now bullies rule.

Enjoy your ciggie Jambutty, you have the right x
