Nothing more annoying than getting comfy at an outdoor table, getting your hot food served and suddenly fat mr nobody sits down with either his useless wife or his fat mate and starts puffing away on their cancer sticks.
How people that dumb can be allowed to mix in with society is beyond me!
i think you art tarring (no pun inteded) all smokers with the same shitty stick! I am a smoker and always ask people if they mind when i am outside at a resteraunt. if they say no thats fine. it is like everything, a little bit of manners is all it takes. if you dont like some one smoking if you are eating, tell them in a polite manner and i can pretty much gaurentee they will put it out.

glasgowdan, I take it you realise that the good people of Glasgow have their position in the life expectancy table to protect?
If there are many more like you, the Iraqis will start dying before them
I find the fact that they have to smoke outside a pub quite usefull, when in a strange town/area it is easy to see what kind of clientelle a pub has before you mistakenly venture into it.
Also it's generally the scummier element that smokes as well, so what you see is usually the worst the pub has to offer.
i just prefer how it was before, you had a bit of a smoke smell all over but never really bothered about it, now as soon as you step outside it stinks . the govt should have just left it how it was ;-(
Love seeing smokers defend themselves. Why should ANYONE else put up with the smell? It's primitive to use the "well they choose to be in the same place as us smokers, they can leave if they want" line. This could equally apply to noisy unsociable neighbours, cyclists on a road (where car drivers can drive dangerously and say simply that the cyclist chooses to use that road) etc.
No non-smoker should ever have to put up with it… heavy and damaging elements that are not easily cleared from the lungs. It's disgraceful. Do it to yourselves but do not in the least do it to anyone else.
Glasgowdan, as a biker I quite often sit outside pubs, cafes etc covered in shit (sometimes literally) and stinking of sweat. I bet you'd be one of those interfering nomarks who'd give me the evil eye if I sat next to you….. Ever tried just getting on with life?
Seriously, some on the muppets on here just get worse every week. I don't smoke, but if I'm outside and people are smoking where they've been told they now have to smoke I really couldn't care less. It's just becoming 'what can I have a whine about next' on here.
I much prefer the smell of cigarette smoke to the sound of whining.
I agree with BD. And tbh cOcKiTdOg, smoking helps smokers to relax and chill. If they weren't allowed to smoke, they would get really uptight and wound up, and would probably end up stabbing those responsible for making all that irritating righteous whining noise.

Just in case anyone gets any smart ideas i have patented the word Gymteens™.
I'd imagine there's already a specialist website by that name, tbh.
Y'know after i posted i realised my stroke of comedy genius may be tainted by the filthy internet.
