There was a pub I used to go to (early 2000s) to watch the football, I used to get changed into my 'special pub clothes' to address this problem - yep, used to get fair kippered

As a life long non smoker I loved it when they banned smoking in pubs!!

There were one or two where I walked in and suddenly realised how big the place was - I had never seen the far wall before!!!

I occasionally worked in an office like that. The air was thick with smoke.

Hard to imagine now.

Weird little story - I worked for a while in a small office with 2 smokers
they were both considerate and kept the cigarettes on the far side from my desk and blew the smoke out towards the corridor

I started coughing one day and they asked if I was OK
I commented that it was the smoke from Phil's cigarette and I was just having a bad day - but would be OK
Phil was mortified
until Steve commented that it was strange becuase he had lit his one a while ago and had accidentally moved it to my side of his desk - so it was far closer

We did some tests (we were like that - there was probably some work that needed doing but........)

anyway - turned out over the next few weeks that I could always tell when Phil lit a cigarette
but not Steve

they tried all sorts or techniques but could not find out why I was better with one that the other
even if they swapped seats I could still tell


It must have been something to do with how they smoked - but we could never find out why
even worked in the pub!!!

My Auntie Maggie died in her 90s and smoked all her life. You would go into her Edinburgh tenement and it was freezing and she was having a puff out the windows so as not to set of the smoke detectors the council had installed. Me on the other hand who has never smoked in my life and is a very moderate drinker could have (but fortunately didn't) died of cancer in my early 40s. We are two blips in the statistics however.

Aye but the whinginging bastards still drive to the pub in their polluting cars, I'd sooner smell a fag than diesal fumes

Transport provides mobility and opens up access to numerous benefits.

"Transport" doesn't have to mean "Cars", though.

It doesn’t HAVE to, but it is part of the mix. The point was a comparison between the emissions of cigarettes vs those of vehicles.
