    Sunak wants to phase out legal smoking

    ...ban it asap. So its availability is an anomaly. You could say the same about alcohol but it's not quite as thoroughly bad for your health as smoking, and is more culturally important. So maybe tobacco's status as a brutally damaging drug available in every corner shop should end? If so, how...

    Smoking, grilling, BBQ

    After reading the charcoal thread I thought I'd ask about smoking/grilling. I want smoke fish and chicken mainly. I'm hoping for cold smoking rather than hot. I want a, not too expensive, BBQ to do as per the title. Any recommendations?

    Disposal of Old Radioactive Smoke Alarms?

    Does anyone have any ideas what I should do with this old smoke alarm with Americium 241 in it (ionization chamber type)? I would assume that dumping radioactive waste in the black bin isn't, like, ideal. But there's scarce little I can actually find about what to do with them once their life's...

    New (Used) Car - Smoking Smell

    So I bought a new car today, a '67 plate Mercedes E220d AMG Line. 9k miles on the clock, from a Mercedes garage, was happy with the price. All the way home I had a nagging feeling that along the 'just valeted for sale' aroma, there was something else. Mrs Smiles, got in when I got home and...

    Smoking in mental health centres

    ...a mental health unit in the UK, I would like to know if patients were allowed to smoke on the ward, or on the premisses. I want to focus on smoking cannabis (weed) as I may have some evidence this happens. Now I want to talk to everyone who has experienced/seen this happen and to get your...

    Smoke alarm keeps going off

    So the smoke alarms in my flat have gone off (for NO FUCKING REASON) and the fucking stupid things won't shut off. They're too fucking loud and I can't even hear myself think. What the fuck do I do? If they were just the stick-up battery powered jobbies I would have taken them down and smashed...

    Philip Morris [Marlboro maker] launches anti-smoking campaign - accused of hypocrisy .

    Well, this is a strange one, on a par with turkeys' voting for Christmas. :hmm: They are spunking £2m on a anti-smoking campaign in the UK, kicking off with a wraparound on today's Daily Mirror & a video ad that spoofs Mission Impossible. Tobacco firm attacked for anti-smoking ad I am...

    Home smoking/BBQ

    So I searched and couldn't find an appropriate thread (I assumed there would be, maybe I'm just rubbish at searching) Currently laying new floors and doing lots of painting so being at home all day at the weekend is ideal for an 8hr+ smoke. This weekend I did brisket, Texan dry rub and smoked...

    Trying to give up smoking - acupuncture and other treatments in Brixton?

    A friend is trying to give up smoking with little success. Patches failed to work and vaping proved unpopular. I remember that a heavy smoking friend of mine used to go to acupuncture and that treatment would stop his urges for 4-5 months or so before he went back for more. Has anyone has any...

    Smoking in Plane Bogs

    So, will having a blast on an e-ciggy in the bogs on a plane set off any sort of detectors? I have a nine hour flight to Mumbai next Friday then a five hour flight to Bangkok and will probs require a chuff at some stage of the proceedings.

    Is Smoked Paprika The Same As Sweet Smoked Paprika?

    I've scoured the web and can't find a definitive answer to this question - so I thought I'd ask you lot!! I already buy the supermarket's own smoked paprika, but I have seen a sweet smoked paprika doing the rounds on various cookery shows for a while now. It comes in a corned beef type tin...

    What do you do about it? I'm actually thankful that a bunch of my students have the sence to be on capes but never the less tones of my 16 - 18 students are smokers. It fucking bugs me. Even more than the students who cone to class stinking of weed. (They have a diffrent issue) I really...
