Topic: Cunard Smoking policy amended

I was a smoker when I first started nursing in the 1960's The tutor used to say a cigarette after meals helped the digestion. How the world have changed. I eventually gave up smoking in 1984 when cigs went over £2.00 a packet (yes they were that cheap and even cheaper than that before). I have at times thought about smoking again but when I did anatomy and physiology course for an holistic therapy diploma two years ago they did a rundown on the hundreds of chemicals in a cigarette. This really made me stay off smoking for life. If people were to see what they are inhaling they may think differently about it. Some times I may move if there are people smoking as I have had bad chest infections in the past and smoke now can make me feel I cannot catch my breath. They have a right to smoke as well as my right to have clean air so never a happy medium on both sides.

Edna, I just wanted to say that I admire your bravado, you may just get away with that as you tip-toed around the edge very neatly and held up a flag, with compromise written in small in the corner, at the end.

My regards to you, ....Neil

Then you thought wrongly didn't you?

Yes I do ask in person . A little tricky in Dave''s case as we are a world apart.

No inference, no lecture , it a polite question. Please don't start this whole nasty subject all over again .

I do NOT CARE if others smoke, please try to understand. It is very simple.

Let it rest . R.I.P.

In fact Dolan Washington I could ask if have you read the lengthy diatribe on this thread and the ill feeling and unpleasantness caused by it ? If so why bring it
up yet again.

If not please read it through and you will see how much anger was generated. The subject is finished and bridges have been mended, I hope.

Oh I am sorry, I must have missed your post where you apologised for causing the unpleasantness in the first place.

I would give up this quest now Christiaan - you've one already as far as I'm concerned - besides you are never going to win with someone that answers their own questions before posting them. Not worth the effort of trying.

Just wanted to pop in and say Hi Dolan, Nice to have you on the Forum as well as Answers. Be nice to Christiann she's been through the mill a bit.

Regards to "C" from Neil and Ida

Thanks Barrowman .

I had not known that the debate had been raging in October as I joined in November and didn't read the older posts . I think more than enough has been said on the subject !
