14 Jul 07 - 09:10 AM (#2102371) Subject: RE: BS: Uk smoke free law From: DMcG It could still be tricky, though. What about the humans working around the labs? |

14 Jul 07 - 09:28 AM (#2102381) Subject: RE: BS: Uk smoke free law From: Jean(eanjay) I imagine that humans working in the labs would have appropriate clothing and masks. I didn't realise they were still testing tobacco in this way still. There doesn't seem to be any point to me. |

It's smoking in the workplace, and by definition beagles smoking for research are working dogs. Look it up. Section 433A. I see, on a more serious note, the BBC news page quoting a figure that barmen in smoking-allowed bars were ingesting the equivalent of 35 cigarettes a night through secondhand smoking. |

14 Jul 07 - 04:35 PM (#2102678) Subject: RE: BS: Uk smoke free law From: Dave the Gnome The poor old beagles have been hanging around bars, smoking, since the hunting ban. None of them can prove they are over 18 so they cannot even get a drink. Poor buggers. :D |

The landlord didn't smoke. He died of lung cancer, killed by his customers. The ban was his widow's idea. I don't think she would find Villan's crack very funny. |

14 Jul 07 - 06:28 PM (#2102740) Subject: RE: BS: Uk smoke free law From: Rasener Actually Jack, my original comment was sarcastic, becuase through no fault of their own they were probably hooked on smoking and without anybody smoking, they would have withdrawal symptoms. Such would be the impact I beleive. Also I am 9 years clear of smoke related cancer. |
