Nae Smokin'

How cool is Scotland

[Becks]

Too cool for school.

I only just the the smokey smell out of my hair after a few quiet drinks with the buddies on Monday. And I hate how you have to wash all your clothes if you go to a bar for even 5 mins down here.

[Mrs H.]

Try putting your smokey clothes in the tumble dryer for 10 minutes - it blows out a lot of the fumes

The only good thing to come out of Holyrood:)

Wish it would happen over here in LTU but when cigs cost around 80p for a pack of 20 it'll take a long time:)

If you hve access to a free tumble dryer, peut-etre. But ours costs a quid! So they may aswell be washed...

and not only can they now get money off them through taxes, hit them for £100 for lighting up in public:

ANTI-smoking enforcers will be given the power to slap fixed- penalty fines of up to £100 on anybody caught lighting up in a public place in Scotland, Jack McConnell announced yesterday.

[Wattok]

why wait til 2006 though? bring it in now. If anyones been to Ireland recently, the ban makes so much difference, its immense. Even for hangovers in the morning, you feel there is something missing, then you remember...you can still breathe!

[brooner]

they dont want to bring it in now as itd ruin the general election chances for labour (supporters often smoking middleaged/pensioners) so it'll be a year after the election and a year before the scottish election so plenty of time for damage limitation. also it'll take some time to wangle out the legal issues from it.

You cynic ! Surely those nice Politicians only work for the good of us all with OUR best interests at heart.

[the duncan]

aye its ace, but why they don't just say, right, from tomorrow thats it.

i don't know

Vote me for President, i'll stop the wee scunners straight off.

[Nailest]

Will it even be an election issue?

I can't see the tories saying "vote for us, ciggies for all".

[rosalind]

Well they don't seem to make drastic changes...except wars, ya know...unlike the Irish government-they mean business!

How cool is Ireland!

[Peter B]

The catch is, in Ireland if you want to go into a pub or somewhere you first have to walk through the crowd of smokers hanging outside the door
euch

[Jene]
