For goodness sake Andri

It wasn't so long ago thet people died before 45, now it's nearer 90 in the words of Freddy Mercury, "Who Wants To Live Forever"?

For goodness sake mountainman I never said I wanted to live forever. I was just telling kikapu that a lot of cities in the US are banning smoking. If I offended you I am sorry.... NOT

[mountainman]

A Fence or Offence, whatever! we need to have a laugh, are you up for it?????

[andri_cy]

Sure I am laughing at my daughter and my dogs as we speak. The dogs are fighting over a bone and my 4 year old thought she needs to fight too...

[michalis5354]

imposed tax! What else can they do? Also accompanied with strict legislation!

[michalis5354]

How many dogs you have Andry?

[andri_cy]

Fines would be a good idea. I think Cypriots wouldnt accept that very well. They love smoking. It is something that comes with souvla and beer and hardheadedness.

[michalis5354]

Then we may suggest a death sentence for those who violate the law! How does this sound?

This is a good idea

[andri_cy]

I have 3 dogs. I have 2 that were mine to begin with and 1 that a friend adopted and then she didnt want and was gonna take to the pound and I felt sorry for. Thank god I have a big yard

Most of Europe as well as the US have embarked on a programme to eradicate, or discourage this obnoxious and harmful habit , an impossible task , but huge strides have been made by banning TV adds , smoking in Bars and Restaurants , as well as in most, if not all , offices. Yet the Cyprus government , taking its queue from the Greeks in Greece , has basically taken no serious measures what so ever .Im not in any way advocating that an individual should not exercise his /her divine right to smoke as much as he / she likes , that is their choice , but is it mine to breath his poisonous fumes.
There is a Greek or Greek Cypriot musical programme every Saturday
that being a lover of the Laiko Tragoudi , I so much enjoy.Im sure most of you have watched glamorous women as well as men. who appear on this programme , bask in total satisfaction at smoking continually without realizing that so many young people are influenced by their smoking habits. How many of you think that the Government should take a more positive approach by giving an example themselves by at least not smoking in public as many ministers do.

I thought I would ...reproduce my very first thread when I first join the forum as a ....mark of respect to all those that through smoking related deceases have passed away.
I'm pleased that at last , four years after the above post the RoC....relented and introduced a ban on smoking in public places.
In view of a recent thread informing us that some Cypriot politicians smokers are pushing for the ban to be lifted may I say what a bunch of first class Plonkers they all are !
