“tut tut Brian, just where are you being forced to inhale a lungful of passive smoke these days? Certainly not in any public building or seemingly in your own home? Therefore i suggest that if people smoking in the street offends you so much, you shift your overweight body to the other side of the road upon approaching them. It sounds as if the exercise may do you some good.”

“No one likes to be preached to Brian..
I sorry but you are living proof that there is nothing more annoying than a convert...”

“Oh I give up. I am not leaving comments on here to upset anyone. I don't want to get into insults and all that degrading malarkey. @ A1 smoker - if you want to stink, cough and splutter all your life, thats up to you. We can only but try and make you see what damage you do to your self and people around you. You just don't want to believe it and accept it. A lost cause trying to give advise. Makes me laugh that people keep saying they want to give up but won't listen and even take offence when people like myself tell it like it is. Its like an alcoholic not admiting he has a problem!!”

“""My parnter have lost 3 stone since Christmas and I need to lose 2 stone to get to my ideal weight.""

Ever thought about having the chip on your shoulder removed Brian???”

“@ A SMOKER.. You are damn right there Mr... I used to smoke 20 a day and having given up 'thanks to the honesty of my friends' I know first hand what I inflicted on other people and pets. I also am over weight which I am working very hard on. My parnter have lost 3 stone since Christmas and I need to lose 2 stone to get to my ideal weight. I have been in the Gym for an hour today. And your comment about race, Yes I think they should stop smoking to, it's bad for everyone aint it!! Shame on you Mr Smoker.”

“Well Mr Sneer & Lynn.. Back then in your old Grandpa days everything stank! It was acceptable and a gentleman thing to do was suck on a dirty old pipe! But in these so called ¿modern¿ times its not acceptable to stink of smoke and we pay a lot of money for nice deodorants, aftershaves, perfumes not to mention plug-ins and air sprays. Much nicer than sat next to dear old grandpa I¿d say!!”

“Brian, Monks road - Lincoln - I presume you tell all the over weight people how fat they are and how bad they look, and how much they smell, and how their over consuming is affecting their health? It's only fair if you do. Don't stop at the obese people either, why not go the whole hog with your bigoted attitude, bring race into it aswell, you can have the full set then!!”

“My Grandad too, died at a ripe old age. Not only did he have a pipe hanging from his mouth every minute of the day, but, he also ate a raw onion for breakfast. Dog breath or what?”

“"LOOK SMOKERS - Your breath stinks, your hair stinks, your clothes stink, your home stinks, your car stinks, everyone around you in your home stinks from your smoke, your skin is greasy and patchy, your eyes are discoloured, your teeth are brown and rotting, your face sags, your tongue is furry and nicotine stained and everything you are is disgusting. You can¿t breath properly, you can¿t taste properly, you can¿t smell properly, you feel shattered most of the day, your limbs ache in the mornings. Coughing and spluttering and spitting out crap that built up on your chest."

Yet my lasting image of my dear old grandad who smoked from his teens to his death (from natural causes) at the age of 89 is one of a sweet, loveable old man. I guess he didn't get the memo that ordered him to be a stinking, cadaverous, sputum-hurling, disease-ridden old wretch.”

“LINCOLNGAL - Your comments are childish, and ridiculous. Most smokers see the light at sometime in their life. I did, and couldn't imagine smoking now. But years ago it was cool, and you were in the minority if you didn't smoke. As Mick Jagger said 'he can't be a man 'cos he doesn't smoke'. Now we all know the dangers, not to mention the cost, so it's a personal choice.”
