Although slightly OT for the BA board, I wholeheartedly agree.

I don't think anyone in this thread is condoning littering by dropping ends, or smoking on aeroplanes being reintroduced. I fully agree with you that is is antisocial behaviour. But smells? Where does that one end?

Oh, the vitriol!!

I apologise to this community for my [and my wfe's] consistent 20/day habit, and for the malodorous miasma that follows us everywhere even when we're not smoking.

We do not litter, however, as we both carry these >>> https://www.amazon.com/My-Ashtray-As...F1WTMKF06H2W3T

I shall submit a bulk order >>> https://www.amazon.co.uk/Givenchy-Ge...nchy+gentleman

This. Sitting next to a smoker can be up there with bad body odour on the gag scale.

Sometimes you just can't win

rossmacd Sorry, it's an old habit and I've got stacks of the stuff (in various formats) to use up. There may well be some left when I fall off the perch

As this morning has seen personal insults being exchanged, and a definite shift so far off-topic that we're now into OMNI territory, this would appear to be a very opportune moment to quit and snuff out this thread ...
