Smoking in public in the UK

[cigarmo]

Arm yourself with facts. Completely deride her government indoctrination of 'no smoking' bullshit.

She seemed a nice little one though, I think I told her she was right and that she shouldn't do it.

I think

First problem

I told her she was right

Second problem. She's not.
Smoking in itself is not 'bad' by definition
Due to unresearched part of it. Much like the Syrian conflict, the gov can just say x or y is bad without sourcing studies or evidence.

It just makes me sick, who in their right mind would actually tell a stranger "you shouldn't smoke, it's bad for you" or even worse "that's dirty", that right their is arrogance of the highest level, who said I give a s*** about your opinion?!

We have government - paid workers who do that here on the streets of downtown.

It doesn't really bother me, I don't like to smoke around children or people who are eating.... Other than that I think it's fair game, though I would tend to want to find somewhere peaceful anyway.

What a joke! Civil rights infringement much?

I find the location and atmosphere has a big effect on my enjoyment so tend to avoid wasting nice sticks in locations with a high pleb count.

I smoke on my uni campus. Good melange of both.
I also avoid places with a high bourgeois count...

Amazed myself yesterday.
Stupid teen thing - 'smoking is bad for your health you know'

Me - 'you know what's worse for your health? Telling someone that's smoking that smoking is bad for your health'

I think he got the message.

Ok to smoke in Cigar shops with sampling rooms this I enjoy although too much smoke from others can hinder the flavours from your own Cigar. I often smoke outside coffee shops and have never had a problem, besides I wouldn't tolerate anyone interfering with my R & R.

As much as that's true, you unfortunately come off as a dick.

I keep a good cigar on me to give off to people if they tell me that shite or if they complement my tastes. Something cheap like a Cuaba or ERdM DT.

One more person on our side is one who won't fight us. There really needs to be something.

I don't blame you for what you did.. but now he may go around thinking we're all a bunch of cocks. And that cigars are equitable to that.
Next time, perhaps you can try to reason with the bloke saying that one or two cigars a day with limited inhalation doesn't hurt your lungs or heart one bit.

Or he didn't actually care and was just trying to show off to his mates.
Some people just need taking down a peg.
I'd also like to think I saved him trouble down the road. If he tried that shit with someone else he would've got a smack rather than an idle threat.
