Perhaps you could bugger off back to your gentlemen's club now and never darken the doorstep of a boozer again.
Context:
- Nigel Farage threatens to never go to the pub again if outdoor smoking banned
- Smokers ‘heroes of the nation’, says Nigel Farage as he lights up cigarette near Downing Street pub
And sundry other tomfoolery.
Broader context (on here):
Sorry UK smokers, I think you're gonna have to take one for the team on this one.
Seeing him smoking actually makes quitting smoking way more appealing to me. Thanks Nigel!
We all know they'll stand two millimeters from the gate to the pub gardens so will ask have to walk through their cancerous cloud of shit anyway.
Put in a smoking hut somewhere.
Apparently pubs already have the ability to define outdoor smoking areas, so if there is an issue, you can have a word with the landlord about it.
At my local, my friends who smoke and vape usually go up the car park a bit and there's rarely an issue with fighting through a fog to get to the doors. If there was, I am confident the landlord (self-declared as "dickhead intolerant") would have a word with the worst offenders, possibly even dedicate the closest picnic tables to thr doors as no smoking.
I don’t know who this guy is but like
If I can’t smoke outside of the pub then I probably won’t go to the pub either.
I wouldn't be terribly upset if the smokers stopped smoking or stopped showing up. It's bad for everyone involved, and the defensiveness of smokers is insufferable.
Smoker hate is just another form of classism. Smoking could have been eradicated decades ago, but instead, they allowed these companies to continue to peddle death to the disenfranchised while placing all the blame (and tax burden) on the users. Now, governments and private entities continually restrict the spaces that people can smoke while still allowing the sale on every street corner. This is just another case of class warfare, poison the poor and blame them for the situation.
Then why is the hate directed at the addicts and not the companies who produce the product or the governments who allow these companies to flourish?
strawman argument.
tobacco companies and governments are widely hated.
I seriously don’t get the smoker hate. But I live in Canada, maybe that’s more of a UK thing.
It’s not really an issue here. You can’t smoke inside bars like anywhere here, but you go outside and smoke and it’s fine. Not on patios or anywhere they serve food but usually you just go smoke outside the bar. If you don’t want to be around the smoke you just don’t hang out where the smokers are smoking, and like… why would you anyway?
If you can’t even smoke outside then like… where do you go if you smoke? Can you just go across the street or is it like a street wide ban?
UK’s version of Geert Wilders, but probably a fair bit smellier for all the removeds and ales he consumes.
This is just another M&M controversy a la Tucker Carlson... wth is this guy on?
wth is this guy on?
Warm ale in public, fine wines and spirits in private. Also the smell of his own farts.
