Lemmings come to mind. also lighting the touch paper and then retiring and waiting for the explosion comes to mind; and as I do seem to like winding people up:
There will always be smokers who deny the obvious and come up with excuses like "
What about this?
and what about that?", and
"which is worse? etc." and they try to justify a disgusting habit by saying "
you can't smell it from the next swim?" or "
what harm is it doing anyone else?" instead of looking at what is readily accepted by most people (smokers are in the minority now remember). Yes you can smell it from the next swim, and if you didn't smoke you would also be able to smell it yourself (unless you genuinely had a bad sense of smell). In fact some people (not me as I used to smoke) can tell if the car in front has someone smoking in it on a motorway. which I didn't believe untill it was demonstrated to me.
And you will never see "Death by passive smoking" on a death certificate as it would say 'Death by cancer' (or similar) as passive smoking is just a contributary factor of the death and not the actual reason.
However; I realise that it is hard for some to come to terms with this and it is very hard for a few to give it up; so I and millions of other non-smokers are willing to let the smokers get on with killing themselves as long as it is outside, so
I am NOT against them smoking in matches as long as they realise how horrible it is for the rest of us. (whether or not we shoud pay for the extra cost on the NHS is another thing).
Thats the touch paper lit; Now sit back and watch all of them wriggling, and making excuses, and calling names, and hollow laughing, and coughing, and P**s taking, and .*&\* etc.
