Smoking ban rears its head again

[skintagain]

i never smoke while driving it's easy just to wait till i get home, even on a long journey ill wait till i stop for a break, unless someone is a chain smoker i cant see why they cant hang on till they get to where they are going.

Yes, it's the same as toileting in my book, would you piss yourself in the car.

That's what your doing to your fellow passenger's, pissing on the with smoke. I don't allow Milk or either

Hmm-well I smoke in my car but manage not to soil myself whilst driving.I dont regard going to the toilet as a habit-its kind of a basic thing that every living thing does-not the toilet but you know what I mean

They're stating on drink now!! If they "go" for anything, why not go for "junk" food and food full of fat and salt? I'm sure that causes far more harm as more people indulge! You only have to see how many fat toddlers there are around now, something that was not around when I was a kid! But there again we didn't sit in front of the telly, x box, Wii, computer etc all day long!!

i think most of the fat toddlers are down to too many fast food outlets and lazy parents, the last thing a parent wants to do when getting in from shopping is start cooking meals so they decide to go for the easy option so the fast food outlet gets another customer, it's okay now and again but for most parents this becomes a bad habit so bad a habit for some even though they have done nothing all day they still use the fast food outlet, my mother like most mothers when i was younger used to go shopping and get a bus back carrying shopping to and from bus stops and still cook meals afterwards, now parents go in the car and park next to the supermarket load the car up with shopping and then think well im now knackered lets head to greasy Greggs or some other fast food outlet, and the supermarkets know all about laziness you can get your potatoes and turnip already prepared mashed fresh or frozen, other veg prepared ready just to cook, and to go with the veg cooked chickens and some stores do other types of cooked meats as well as chickens, no need for baking days now just get it all done from the supermarket pies, pasties, sausage rolls, cakes etc etc,
it's not just the junk food but falling into this easy lazy way of life that has made us a fat nation.

Aye, Skint, you're right about all this prepared food we have now......it wouldn't be quite so bad if they didn't put all these additives etc in it. I know it's handy for a lot of working people but you'd think if people had time on their hands they might want to cook from scratch?
Sometimes I'm guilty of this "quick fix food" but try to have a good percentage of real food as well. I do like real ale mind as you know! ;D
