BE WARNED - AM GOING TO RANT
Today I went to Blaise Cas. Looking forward to a lovely day with some friends and their kids.
Once in the playground i was amazed at how many people were smoking. IT WAS UTTERLY UGLY - KIDS EVERYWHERE... THE HEALTH - THE EXAMPLE - THE SMELL - THE COMMON APPEARANCE. I WAS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED. The most disturbing thing seemed to be that the majority of the people smoking were younger mothers.
I can understand that if you smoke you are addicted and it's hard to give up. I sympathize with that and believe that in our democratic society people should be able to choose if they smoke. BUT IN A CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND?? Where the majority of individuals are under 5 with tender little developing lungs?? Do you think these people have heard of passive smoking?
Gosh I am cross!

I hate passive smoking, you get it loads at the bus stop and it's gross!
I seriously doubt that they have.
I am with Tommy... I doubt they even spared a thought for the little ones.. Being an ex "Chain" smoker I know how selfish smokers can be... I wouldn't care about anyone else as long as I had a fag in my hand.... It's sad but so true with so many smokers.
I saw a picture on a newspaper that had been scanned into a blog. The article was about a woman complaining about the effect of the noisy road works on her unborn child. The picture was of the pregnant lady..with a cigarette in her hand!
I've been a passive smoker all my life, and all I got was this nagging, continual cough. I'm hoping it'll go now that I've moved out...right after I get my voice back..
Hmm kids = stress = cigarettes = less stress?? But yea there is a time and a place - maybe they need a sign -
"No Smoking, Kids Breathing!
Anyways, smoking sucks big time.
Tris lets go into the countryside somewhere and you can sit there all day and take in all the fresh air.
At least your mum had some consideration. Not smoking on top of you all the time.
