Nooooo. Watch out for the vaseline trickery. Although it has never happened to me, I have heard about this skulduggery.
And as for smoking outside, well I don't smoke any more sir.
Complete banishment is however, coming into effect in Manchester on July 1st of next year.
I agree with no smoking policies in enclosed public spaces. People who don't smok ...[text shortened]... ng up the nasty nicotine.

In Ireland, all the pubs are empty, but the smoking rooms are rammed... it's political correctness gone mad!

You cant smoke in the pubs here in Ireland, so if you want to smoke in the pub forum, you'll have to go outside 😠
Cocaine can be snorted in the toilets though 😛

Better still you could make smoking illegal and then save millions of dollars on our health systems.
