"The BBC quotes a Lancet article claiming 9.3bn GBP/year in tax revenue on tobacco. The cost to the NHS of smoking-related diseases put at 1.5bn GBP."

confession time.... I've fallen off the wagon lately😳, never ever in the house or anywhere that the kds will see me tho', but I do know that I can pack up without climbing the walls etc. However, when I packed up last time I put nearly a stone on and I didn't feel all that healthy for it. Pic below is from when I was at my heaviest (11.5 stone)

i think when I do give up for good, I'll probably have to do some dieting/training to keep the weight down tho'. I'm only 5'6"" so I really don't want to carry excess baggage.

At your heaviest!!!!:yikes: I've got ankles that weigh more than you Doug:mad2:
They should have discounted ciggies in bars (to encourage non smokers to smoke) and u can only go in a pub or bar if u have a lit ciggy.
You'd all be booked up till next summer with work as the uk's general tax would be so low as a result of getting us out of a recession early with lots of extra revenue.
:lol:
What I'd do then knowing that now is ask ur customers for a ciggy every half hour whether u smoke or not, just throw it away, but the customers will buy more ciggies and well all be rich tradesmen.
Damn it takes ages to type on this!

My mate works for a cable company, and just the other day he asked an old girl to vacate the room while smoking. Funny thing is as soon as he finished the job he lit one up!

..but in truth I hated the gradings and kata's, I just did it 'cos I enjoyed the training and the self discipline it instilled. Shotokan ws my favourite of the two, but I think that was more down to the sensei (keith robson, top bloke). Next year gonna enrol my lads at judo and see if they like it, we're quite lucky in Kendal as we have one of the top dojo's in the country

watching the japanese doing the kata's looked better,they looked so effortless! i think it was the 3rd dan kata that had the jumpin it-looked great when done properly,you will remember names like-enoida and kamizoe?from demos over here at the time

Hi John,
I am also bothered by a lot of smoke (allergies, asthma). I think even if you invoke the legal requirement for a smoke-free workplace to your customers, you'll "win the battle/lose the war". It would likely engender some animosity that would then come out later.
I think the best way to approach would be to ask if they could work with you on a plan that would have them smoke outside while you're there, and invoke the allergies/asthma thing...even if you don't have them. I think many smokers would consider that one, whereas most would get annoyed when confronted with the other method (workplace laws). Very few of us (I'm included) like having the governement tell us what we can and can't do in our own house.
Good luck, I hope you can get the job and work out something about the smoking.

this country and its crazy hypocritcal inconsistant laws...
why dont they ban smoking full stop??
we know so much more about it now...its responsible for so many illnesses now and death related illnesses too!!..i reckon even the people who smoke would prefer the government to ban it because it would actually be helping them...i totally understand thats its hard to quit and i am not 4 one minute having ago at smokers, while its legal its their free choice but its 2010 and if its dangerous in the workplace, then its dangerous in the home and its dangerous at the wheel of a car and so on....
come on new government, help the people who are reliant on smoking, help the strain on the national health, help the people who suffer from passive smoking in ALL AREAS....sorry, no you want go that far, cos it'll effect the huge revenue stream,,lol
