I find the taste of the colour yellow absolutely nauseating.

Quick! Ban it! I shouldn't have to put up with people affecting my sensibilities with their choice of clothes colour.

You seem to forget that smoking isn't banned - only your self-appointed "right" to foist your second-hand smoke whenever and wherever you like on the rest of the population.

Try not smoking for a couple of weeks and lose your insensitivity to tobacco smoke and then maybe you'll realise how pervasive second-hand smoke really is.

But then you couldn't.....could you.

What I find disappointing about the smoking ban, which I otherwise strongly support, is the lack of alternatives for those who want to smoke. Someone has invented a new nicotine gel, which the user rubs into their skin - given the reaction from some, Ann Widdicombe for one, you might be led to think that some evil satanic act is in progress.

Nicotine gel? Sounds like a good idea to me. Those that want it still get the hit, without being anti-social to those that don't.

Of course, depends upon the health implications too - I don't know anything about the product, maybe someone more enlightened knows why people may be so against it? I guess there could be a bit of upset from parents concerned their children would use it (it odorless, for example, would be very easy to escape detection).

The only thing that worries me is that, as a car driver, I will have to pay even higher taxes to cover the governments loss of revenue generated by tax on tobacco[:(!]

Don't be so humble, you're not that great.

Today someone has been going around all the toilets sticking signs on the back of the stall doors. 'Anyone found smoking will be subject to disciplinary action'. For the first time in three years cycling I went into the gents to get changed and it didn'y stink of fag smoke. I'm looking forward to next month even more now [:)]

Vultures circling high in a clear blue sky - must be a traffic jam near by.
