Many many years ago British Airways had two nightly flights, leaving at approx the same time, from London Heathrow to Hong Kong, one was a smoking flight the other non smoking. Woe betide you if you got on the wrong one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM07 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 What is this "second hand-smoke and innocent babies"- crap about? Take a well isolated room with a functioning ventilation system and DON'T TAKE YOUR BABY IN THERE and the problem is solved! This anti- smoking hysteria is absolutely ridiculous!

Fresh air was last to be had in 1973! Another reason, why the hysteria is just laughable! Take a walk in the "fresh" Bangkok- air and you probably damage your lunge more, than you could ever do with 2nd hand smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sit outside at the airport and breathe in the exhaust from the planes or outside at a restaurant and have your share of diesel exhaust. Better just stay home.

I don’t smoke, but I can’t see any reason why smokers shouldn’t be allowed somewhere to smoke... Coffee drinkers have cafes, boozers have erm... boozers... A smoking room which is clean, well ventilated and a pleasant place to be is not going to hurt anyone - put a coffee vending machine in there, a booze vending machine (cans of beer as the vending machines do in Japan).... no one has to work there then... it just has to be cleaned from time to time... There is no reason to ostracise smokers as if they are criminal scum... give them somewhere to enjoy a smoke and they may be more considerate at other times...

Any BBQ will release more toxic fumes than 1000 cigarettes. People asking me for a light in Bangkok usually get the reply "Why smoke a cigarette? Just inhale." Not popular. And I know that the air pollution doesn't include nicotine. On the other hand - people who add to the pollution just for the selfish enjoyment of smoking cigarettes can go f*%k themselves.

champers Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Last month I flew to Phuket from a new terminal at U Tapao (Pattaya). In the departure lounge was a shiny, new smoking booth, packed out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the smoke won't kill you, the exhaust fumes will. Let's ban those taxis whilst we are at it, much worse than "second hand smoke". Nothing more sad then people complaining about smoking, whilst ignoring real threats, Ex smoker no doubt, they are usually the worst. As to banning smoking outside the airport, they already done that several years ago, except for two tiny little areas, smoking right outside of BKK's airport is already prohibited. It's absolutely ludicrous. We are outside, in one of the most polluted cities in the world, can't even light a smoke. The anti smoke zealots should be banned, the world would be a much nicer and better place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talahtnut Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Where there are humans, there is pollution. Grumbling about smokers is not going to stop pollution, you must ban all forms of combustion, which means shutting down electrical power, all forms of mechanical transport, and manufacturing, finally eradicating all human life, grumblers first.

But I get it, pointing fingers and driving off in your big fat polluting car, or turning on your fat polluting airco, is the easy way out. Sick and tired of the double standards and the sheer stupidity. People claiming this, haven't got a leg to stand on... And of all places, Thailand ? You got to be joking, a few smoking rooms in the airport is no problem. Money talks and bullshit reigns suprime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchpeter Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Most smokers have their heads in the sand. "I'll stop when they can prove it's harmful", etc. As soon as you get outside Sydney airport, it stinks of cigarette smoke. If you want to sit outside at a restaurant in Sydney, well...... that's where the smokers sit. The three most selfish groups of people in the world :-Parents of young children. Dog owners. Smokers. That's why you need rules. So that these <deleted> don't run amok! Sent from my CPH1727 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my CPH1727 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app I can almost hear your discontent with the world, but bear in mind that when you leave Sydney airport, you have just burnt 5 metric tonnes of fuel per hour on your Boeing 777 for your pleasure. To avoid being called a hypocrite, you should stop flying and get a bicycle. What rule do you suggest for looking after kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambotte Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 This is so ridiculous. Like smoking rooms were a issue for non-smokers, or hard to maintain. It tells a lot about this crazyness of the world. WAR on smokers, those criminals, those public ennemy ! In the meantime : MASSIVE fields burning everywhere in the world, MASSIVE chemical pollution, MASSIVE transport pollution (and those KILL way more than smoking, yes, check it out), people burning their TRASH in Asia ! (that's a much worse problem too)... But hey no, world is stupid and lazy, so just war on smokers, actual scapegoats. The tree hiding the forest (yeah i mean to joke here :)). Most stupid thing i saw (with this stupid move from Thai airport), was in Panama Airport : in the middle of airport pollution (planes), in the car-arrival zone (you can smell it i garantee), i went on a side to smoke one, alone not near anybody, and a security guy came up to stop me. Best airport i transited : Tokyo Narita, very clean and modern smoking area (and airport). So indeed everybody or company can make huge pollution, but smokers are criminals now... Don't be fooled though : almost everybody will have a cancer or another hard disease, from POLLUTION. But keep ignoring the main problems, otherwise it would require much better than just a cheap war on scapegoats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
