DISGUSTED....well, wasn''t very impressed...

Bahh, people will smoke, people will take drugs, people will drink to much..<
><
>You do sorta have a point, maybe more bad customer service than morals. I dont personally like smoking, 3/4 of my grandys died from it, well the two guys could have been @#%$ from ww2 after watching some shows on the yanks.<
><
>But anywho, I dont smoke tabacco......<
><
>Telling people not to smoke wont change a thing, telling people that they wont get medical attention wont help either, hell im no slim chicken. But really this is a debate for somewhere else than a fish forum.<
><
>Maybe a bong and a rum?<

theo, not trying to cause any sh!t here, but with the smoking stats, virtually everyone of my aunts and uncles, as well as one of my grandmothers is either a doctor, nurse, or somehow found in a hospital.....working not dieing. my rellies see thousands of patients each every year come into the hospitals. one of the questions they ask of people who are having immune problems and respiratory problems, throat infections and heart problems, is whether or not they smoke. almost all of the cases where the patient is a fair way gone in their illness in a short period of time is because the patient smokes. that is generally because of the constant attack on the body by smoke lowers the immune system drastically and allows bacteria and other pathogens to attack the body causing harm. this is due primarily to their habit. <
>i do not have anything against smokers, quite a few of my mates are smokers...i just wish the ones who smoke in public would keep their smoke away from people who dont wish to be a victim of someone elses potentially fatal habit... i''ve had a grandfther die as a result of lowered immune system fro smoking only one cigarette a day since he was 40, he only smoked one smoke a day for 32 years and it affected him enough for a smal cut to kill him...imagine what smoking a pack a day for that long would do....<
>my 2 bobs worth

[DeagonTheo]

What about smoking 100 a day for that long, what do you think that would do.<
>Theo<
>PS I''ve had two friends with triple bypasses and neither smoked, and people with cancer that didn''t smoke,and I dont know anyone thats died from smoking.<

ok,<
> we have all had our say on this matter and b4 it get out of hand i want the last say. i smoke but i wish i didnt. i know that in the long run it will effect my health which at 45 starts to play on your mind. i look around now at guys that are in their 60''s 70''s and the one who dont smoke are far and a way  healthier and living life to the fullest. now i know some of you will say , yer but my uncle is 75 and smoked a packet a day for the last 50 years and is doing fine, well he''s one of the lucky ones, but over all it does effect your health for sure.<
><
>as far as smoking in the fish room i do it sometimes but have been told that the smoke will get sucked in by the air pump and will pump it straight into the water via air lines, this cant be good.<
><
>lfs owners/workers sitting on their asses,<
>well thats a hard one, most have their own thinking on what to do as far as , do you go running up to a customer as soon as they walk in the door, or do you let them wonder around at their own leisure. i know i dont like being quizzed as soon as i walk in the door but given 10-15min to look around then asked would be nice.<
>and smoking in the shop well that is against the law so i think they should have been out side.<
><
>someone said that us smokers are being  discriminated against, well in a way we are. just resently i was at an open air concert and the lady behind us was having a bitch about us smoking, she even asked the cops if we were aloud to be smoking and they said yes , nothing they could do about it, they finally moved, one for the smokers....<
>i really think they are going a bit to far with the laws, ie no smoking at the shopping centre, beach, resturant, and even the pubs and clubs might have to have to be  non smoking venue''s and their telling us we shouldnt smoke in our own home or car.........cmon soon we wont be able to have a puff in the streets next.<

Quote:Yet when you ask senior citizens how many people they know have died from smoking they invariably say none.<
>Correct Theo,<
>They will say they died because of a stroke, heart attack.....but they won''t say what the cause was.   <
><
>(simple terms are used, the person probably didn''t know the cause, or isnt into medicine, doctor....)<

>I''ll use a fish example.   <
>A newbie to fish had some fish die, they had white spot. Goes to fish shop. Will they say my fish died because of dity water? Ummm no!<
