Smokers. Really some of them have no sense of respect at all.

That didn't happen.

Who goes on holidays to Belgium ?

Exactly! It seems to be the last bastion of acceptable littering in today's society. It's utterly vile.

I was in town years ago and a junkie came up to me with the usual,

"heor, ave ye gotta spare shaaamoooke?"

I replied "nope, sorry I don't smoke" to which he replied:

"ye should, it's bad for MY health"

If you were meant to drive would you have a steering column coming out of your hole?

I'm a smoker, in a hypothetical situation if you sprayed something on me I would knock your teeth out.

But on the other hand, I would not sit right beside or in front of someone after smoking a fag & I like to keep myself smelling fresh & clean despite the smoke, I like to clean to my face & hands around a dozen times a day. It sounds like you just sat down beside a scumbag who does not wash.

always annoying that if you happen to be using Pier D at Dublin airport which are the far Ryanair gates…. The reek of cigarette smoke coming from the toilets opposite the bar….and when you walk in to use them a cloud envelopes you… And the gobshites leave the place destroyed by leaving butts everywhere which you inadvertently step on. Dirtbags.

vaping thing is huge, appealing to young people as they are must seen gadgets now like a phone, ‘smart vapes’…and you have these less then smart little gobshîtes spending hours just staring into tiktok lives, doing nothing but vaping, saying random nonsense and just excited at having people watch them vape. What is that all about 😬🔫 ? What fun can you get from either watching people vape or from people watching you vape, I know #givemeattention

Too cheap? Who do you use to fly to the uk these days?

You were lucky he didn't light up on the bus. There are still certain routes in Dublin where the local scummers will smoke on the bus with impunity.

It is I’m sure but enforcement not available so….

nahhh ;)

friends of mine in the pub and only two of us were non smokers. One gave up and everyone else still went for their twice or three times weekly pint.. just had to go to the beer garden for a fag...

people go to a pub to drink and socialise.

there wasn’t any noticeable falloff in terms of trade post smoking ban

the porno angle is funny.. lads sitting at home wánking with a can of Stella and a Major 🤡🔫

I agree with you that it shouldn't be done, but when you say "banned" that's just places telling you it's not allowed.

Legally, there's no ban or consequences. If I were to vape in a pub, restaurant or the dart/bus/Luas there's fck all can be done about it.

This seems to be the mentality of the majority of smokers when they're asked whether they care or not if their second hand smoke bothers other people.

Who wouldn’t take health advice from a blood sucking parasite?

It doesn’t need to “have the same effect”. It has a harmful effect, less harmful than first time around, but significantly harmful all the same.

The idea that every doctor in the world is part of a massive conspiracy is slightly fantastical.

The idea that breathing burning smoke deep into your lungs is significantly harmful makes sense,

I like the smell of cigarettes as it reminds me of going to GAA matches when I was young, that must have been shortly before the smoking ban. I have noticed I smell a lot of cannabis on the streets nowadays even from people who you wouldn't expect to be smoking it. I detest the smell of that stuff.

One of the difficulties in the addiction called smoking is that you as a smoker do not smell the actual smoke on your clothes - you are immune to the smell due to the addiction - the smoke smell of your clothes and immediate surroundings are not known to you.

Yea, reminds me of the Edwin Starr lyrics to War.

Vape, huh, yeah

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing, uhh

Vape, huh, yeah

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing

Say it again, y'all

Vape, huh (good God)

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing, listen to me, oh
