Non for the last 12 years except when I lived in Brussells for three months where it seemed to be compulsory:-) Gave up easy 12 years ago and did not smoke again when I got back to the UK about 6 or 7 tears back.

Doesn't worry me too much now but I do have to leave our club early occasionaly because of the smoke which does agrravate my medical conditions (Asthma and Perrenial Allergic Rhinitus). If all smokers were like Dalia I would have no problems at all but they are not!

It is a little annoying when I hear people say 'If you don't like it don't come here' etc. There is nowhere at all within walking distance of me that caters for non smokers. Considering that there are in the region of 30 pubs and clubs in that area it does seem a little unfair:-( Not to worry. I know I will have the last laugh when smoking is banned in all public areas as it will be.

The car argument is also pretty erroneous. I drive - I have to to do my job! No car - No work - No money! What am I supposed to do? Cycle all over the UK with heavy computer parts and a huge toolkit strapped to the handlebars?

Just my 2 pen'urth.
