The trouble with smoking is that ones smoke affects others nearby. Its impossible to smoke in public wothout affecting others. Drinking doesnt affect others in the same way and neither does injecting heroin. Its a kind of collateral damage........

I know that in ireland smoking in pubs will be outlawed within a few weeks and it will be interesting to see what happens there. Within a few short years smoking in poiblic will be a thing of the past and a good thing too.

But I have to say one reason I dont play in pubs anymore is the smoke. Someone elses problem isnt going to kill me by default.
