Smoke Free Swansea 12:10 - Oct 10 with 13345 views | EvenThisNameIsTaken | Ladies and Gents. There is a survey from Swansea council that I would urge you all to complete - on whether to make Swansea a smoke free city. Consider this - smokers have known for decades the dangers of smoking, yet have made a conscious decision to take up the habit at the cost of everyone around them - forced to share their death fumes. Non-smokers can't even eat outside on sunny days with their families, or walk outside through a doorway without getting a facefull of fumes from selfish and anti-social smokers who hang around in gangs without a consideration for people having to walk between them to exit the building. Smoking is a habit that rightfully deserves to be stamped out. If creating a nanny-state policy against smoking is needed to protect the health of others, who have taken the decision not to indulge in cancer development and lung destruction, then so be it. So, you'll find the link for the survey below. http://www.swansea.gov.uk/smokefreesurvey | |

Smoke Free Swansea on 20:17 - Oct 11 with 2279 views | Ebo | Does this include vaping as well? I'm sure the clouds of VG (vegetable glycerin)/PG (propylene glycol) are 100% safer than the 2000-3000 known toxic chemicals found in cigarettes. | |

Smoke Free Swansea on 20:20 - Oct 11 with 2276 views | londonlisa2001 | I looked at the survey and when I saw that they had included e cigarettes, I went back and filled the whole thing in, as it is obvious that this has nothing to do with health and everything to do with ridiculous gesture politics. Are they also going to ban asthma inhalers which use the same substances? | | | |
Smoke Free Swansea on 20:32 - Oct 11 with 2269 views | Jackfath | Asthma inhalers save lives though. Any formof smoking makes one look like a complete cock. | |

Smoke Free Swansea on 20:32 - Oct 11 with 2269 views | Ebo | Big tobacco are crushing vaping by forcing e-juice companies to comply to many regulations and they have to pay £1000's for medical testing of their products. A safer alternative to smoking and probably the most successful quitting mechanism and they are trying to ban it. Ludicrous! | |
| |
Smoke Free Swansea on 20:34 - Oct 11 with 2262 views | Ebo | So does vaping. No cancer causing chemicals, no foul smelling clothes and it doesn't affect others around you. No nicotine in some juices either. Why are people trying to ban it when it is effectively saving lives by getting people off smoking and onto e-cigs which in time they will quit totally in the end. | |

Smoke Free Swansea on 20:37 - Oct 11 with 2258 views | Jackfath | Still makes one look like a complete and utter cock. In fact if it saves lives we should all take it up. [Post edited 11 Oct 2015 20:38]

Smoke Free Swansea on 20:38 - Oct 11 with 2253 views | Ebo | Maybe so but not a foul smelling one or an inconsiderate one I guess plus it's saving and prolonging lives. | |

Smoke Free Swansea on 20:38 - Oct 11 with 2250 views | londonlisa2001 | To be fair, so does the wearing of football shirts over the age of about 14 and they aren't banned | | | |
Smoke Free Swansea on 20:38 - Oct 11 with 2250 views | dickythorpe | 4 pages in and yet not a word in anger against those animals that still burn coal!!! | | | |
Smoke Free Swansea on 20:39 - Oct 11 with 2250 views | Jackfath | You're right. I am going to Argos first thing to buy one and start. | |
| |
Smoke Free Swansea on 20:44 - Oct 11 with 2238 views | Ebo | I doubt you'd find one in argos but I'm told the strawberry milkshake e-juice is nice and won't bother people leaving pubs and restaurants. | |
| |
Smoke Free Swansea on 20:46 - Oct 11 with 2234 views | Jackfath | Will strawberry milkshake make me obese? | |
| |
Smoke Free Swansea on 20:47 - Oct 11 with 2231 views | londonlisa2001 | Nah - it'll bring all the boys to the yard! | | | |
Smoke Free Swansea on 20:48 - Oct 11 with 2226 views | Jackfath | IN that case order me several gallons of the stuff. | |

Smoke Free Swansea on 00:25 - Oct 12 with 2172 views | Highjack | Those vapour things are more cock-ish than real smoking though, it's like drinking decaffinated coffee. What's the point? | |
| |
Smoke Free Swansea on 14:18 - Oct 12 with 2139 views | Whiterockin | Like alcohol free beer. | | | |
Smoke Free Swansea on 16:52 - Oct 12 with 2110 views | exiledclaseboy | It's a way of satisfying the nicotine addiction without having all the harmful stuff at the same time. It's almost the total opposite of decaffeinated coffee, which has the "addictive" element removed. | |
