That's because a subset of that group are the sort of humourless
*******s who wouldn't know a good time if it had a rave in their house.

I am not criticising the right of people to be in a smoke free
atmosphere -

Like a pub or restaurant. Or the place you work?

I had no issue with work having a smoking room.

but banning smoking on say an open station platform is
stupid.

Stops the dogends and empty packets on the platform, I suppose.

Yes - it does rather detract from the gum and other litter.

I tell you, if between the New Puritan Killjoys and the Sharia nutjobs,
if it gets any worse, I will take to farming weed and stocking up on
nitrous.

Beauty of electronic is not even a dogend to complain about. Although
since it produces a vapour which you can see being puffed out I can
understand some being against it if in the same room. But then they
probably don't like others breathing the same air.


And guess what - banned in many places now...
