Nothing at all to do with gardening of the ascending variety.

LOL yeah over the pond it has a different meaning, when I was working over there I did finding it amusing when an english person would over to yank in a bar and ask them for a "fag"

Also I think the smoking is ban is great, I can actually breath when I come out of a bar or club now, so much better yes its had an effect on pubs ect but having someone not somking nr when eating out is a lot more pleasant. I think ppl now are aware of what smoking does to you...

I thought my grandad got it right, as a pow and soldier he use to trade his smokes for food.

Never mind that, you can now wear the same shirt out two nights running.

I was queueing to pay for some petrol this evening and saw that the current price of 20 Rothmans was nearly £7!!!

Amazing! If I was still smoking the 30 a day I used to that's nearly two grand a year.

Gonna stop moaning about people smoking now, your taxes are keeping the country afloat, thank you smokers

My mum smokes, and for the last 15 years we have gone to france and now belguim to buy her fags every 6 months. Darn site cheeper even if you include travel etc.

I don't smoke or drink. I work too hard to waste money on things like that... But I can't thank the smokers & drinkers enough for the tax contributions

I would rather spend my money on other things. But just as I choose to jump onto a motorbike and potentially die...or cost NHS thousands, they have the right to do it.
