    So what affect does the sun beating down on a metallic sstructure full of kerosene, with a built in ventilation system and a system designed to avoid over pressurisation have? There is a reason you can’t smoke airside, even though Jet A1 is relatively safe.

    People that smoke next to no smoking signs in order to “rebel” make me laugh....

    I think we should rebel against people that think we shouldn't rebel. It's a basic principle of freedom.

    Obviously as a smoker, half a mile could be a bit much to walk at some stage....

    As a non-smoker who has seen the effect the habit has on people close to me, I am quite happy that there are smoking zones so that I don’t have to put up with other peoples dirty habits.

    No, I just do it to piss off self-righteous wankers. Although I should point out that even outside I will smoke well away from any non-smokers, and not stand right in the entrance.


    It's a shame they don't concentrate their energies on something that is actually very harmful, like diesel emissions. Maybe if they'd done that there wouldn't be so many asthmatics around. I suppose that hits them too close to home though.

    Always amazed me that you can legally have sex at the age of 16, but you are not allowed to watch even simulated sex in the cinema or via recorded programmes on DVD until you are aged 18.

    Quick to put messages on fag packets saying that smoking kills, yet you never see any vehicle with the same slogan saying "Vehicles kill", which they do.

    When they decided to de-brand all fag packets, they never once considered the poor shop assistants who are doing Stevie Wonder impersonations standing in front of the sea of identical packets looking for your brand and fighting with the sliding doors which never stay still, asking for the third time which ones you want. Poor buggers.

    Yes those idiotic cupboards they have to hide it all in. The whole thing is so retarded it doesn't really bear thinking about.
