On your own balcony?

I smoke in my own home but when my granddaughter is there now it's a big NO NO!

I have a verandah and if you said I couldn't smoke there I'd.......................................................

What would you do?

It`s getting crazier by the day! :-z....the "NANNY STATE"..just got madder/more mad..if that`s possible??;-)...I DON`T smoke but I`M not immune to the odd(16/24)Nicotine patch!!lol..Helps me through my day:-¬...(I just like to think I`m BEING HEALTHY)!!NOT :-)..I like the fact I cut the carbon monoxide bit out!:-¬....IT`S EVERY BIT AS BAD I KNOW :-(....Oh how I hate the nanny state...Prisons are probably about the ONLY place left where you can smoke! ! ! :-(

How times have changed, back in 1985 when i had my daughter in a major public hospital, we could see our visitors in a visitor room where we could all smoke, babies were also present.Looking back, it makes me shriek in horror, even on public transport it was the norm to "light one up".Nowadays when i have a cigarette in public i feel like a criminal, or it is like back in high school when you would sneak behind the toilets to have one.

We are being slowly outcasted, i wonder if they will stop people enjoying an alcoholic drink on their balcony.

I personally think it's discrimination.I have been trying to quit for some time but in your own home???  A man's house is his castle.If I want to smoke on my balcony,which I frequently do when the grand kids are over,I will. I dare anyone to try to charge me for it.

I live in the country and I intend to do as I please!  When the farmers corn gets bigger I could even run nude if I pleased. Maybe they want all smokers to move out of town!

Though I never intentionally inflict second hand smoke on anyone, I feel if they wish to really stop people from smoking and were genuinely concerned about health issues they would deem them illegal, instead they choose to make life difficult for those of us that are addicted whilst still picking up the huge tax imposed

I am a believer  of humans right to kill themselves as long as they don't harm others...

Smoking does both.

I used to smoke between ages 16 and 32; I wish I never did.

I smoke, I'm sure everybody knows. My husband (1975) never has yet he claimed it was an insult to his own rights when they started banning cigarettes here in Austin. God forbid they come into my own home..........

Talk about the height of insanity what next a ban on dignity..

I wish they would add backyards to the smoking bans too. The next door neighbour smokes in his backyard, not in the house.

The smoke wanders around the corner to our backdoor. Of course, then we have to shut our door and wait for him to stop smoking.

it`s  NOT just smoking...I THINK IT`S MORE to do with MONEY!!/smokers are deemed one of the groups in the UK to cost the NHS Millions...but yet the Government are happy enuf to spend BILLIONS on war.....we are waiting here for"FAT TAX"!!!:-¬....That`s ano little earner...do you really think people are going to give up lovely yummy treats..or pay the extra??It seems to be tax ANYTHING that brings in money!..Alcohol went up loads over the budget...but the MP`S ARE STILL GLUGGING IT DOWN...JUST WE`RE PAYING IT FOR THE PRIVILEGE!!!:-¬....Honestly they`ll be taxing visiting your GRANNY next!!!:-0....(oh they already are by increasing petrol/gas...transport/public)!!.....:-(....THERE SHOULD BE DESIGNATED SMOKING AREAS IN MORE PLACES...SO PEOPLE CAN CHOSE WHERE THEY HANG OUT!!!(imho)!;-)
