Well,

er, uhnn,

what can I say?

Erm, well urination is a byproduct of life regardless of what you drink but how about, drinking makes you puke? You could always puke all over people

I recently has some cross words with a seller on eBay. I purchased a skirt from her. The trouble was: when I received it, it has to be washed first as it absolutely stank of stale cigarette smoke. She claimed she was a non-smoker who only wore it once. Obviously, the occasion she wore it was to a smoke filled night-club. The smell was disgusting!

Whenever I buy clothes on eBay now, I try to look to see if the seller has mentioned if it is laundered and/or from a smoke/pet free home.

The smoke issue aside, that's pretty poor form for a seller anyway. If I was going to sell an article of clothing that had been worn even once it'd be washed first. I have a similar thing with second hand books though, I hate it when someone has obviously been smoking while they were reading it.

Admin: Very little makes me puke. It's as though once my stomach gets hold of something it's not going to let it go without a fight.

Sounds to me like she was a smoker and could not smell the smoke on the skirt, you think that she would have washed it before she put it on ebay!

The problem with people who smoke is that they are addicted to it and cannot give it up. I have known people with cancer and heart problems who were told by their doctor to give it up as it is killing them, they have just carried on and died!

If these people don't care about their own health, they are not going to be worried about what they are doing to anyones else's health. The non-smoking public need to be protected from these people.

I don't think you got one word quite right, it's ADDICTED! Few things in this world are more addictive than the nicotiene in tobbacco. 30 years back when I was fighting it, there were no patches or chews or anything like that to help. Let me tell you, I literally needed the power of Almighty GOD to break the habit. So I know from personal experience that however much one cares for one's health has nothing to do with it. When yer hooked, you are really hooked! So take it from me, after I've lost some friends who were unable to stop, I know that such people need both understanding and help

- not condemnation.

I think Skirted-UK was only referring to those smokers who do not care about themselves or others.

Im all for this smoking ban. If smokers want to die early, fair play to them, but dont drag us non smokers along with them.

Regardless, anyone fighting this particular problem is welcome to PM me and I absolutely promise whatever help or support I can offer without judgements.
