Thank you for mentioning the latter. Gillian McKeith is merely one
example of what has become a regrettably common phenomenon, but
David Icke does appear to have taken the Velikovsky, von Däniken
and Hubbard approaches to a new, er, dimension!

The trolls on this thread are far less amusing.

Exactly. I don't see why he cannot smoke in his own garden. How far will
this no-smoking thing go?
It's ridiculous.

Let's be fair, that was never the original premise and this thread has become
unhelpful and silly in that respect. The OP never asked for a way to stop
someone smoking on their own premises. He or She asked for suggestions to
divert the flow of smoke from *their* garden.

Well said.

The OP was looking for a way not to have to suffer his neighbour's smoke. He
didn't suggest he wanted to stop his neighbour smoking.

One of my brothers in law did not smoke. He was a professional guitar

countless smoky places.



He probably had a shit most days; that does not mean it caused his lung cancer.

The overwhelming majority of lung cancer occurs in smokers. The link is
so high it would be foolish to suggest that passive smoking does not
cause a lot more.

I was surprised to note that research links smoking and passive smoking
with hearing loss. So my 45 a day habit might explain why my hearing is
so poor. Hopefully I gave up long enough ago that my risks of lung
cancer and heart disease are receding. Then again I have spent a lot of
time in smoky offices, pubs and clubs so perhaps I had better make my
funeral arrangements.

My wifes hearing is crap she smokes MUCH less than I do.

She used to dance to punk bands though. I stood at the back of rick
bands listening to the sound balance.

Then she adopted headphones plugged into a computer.

Now all she can hear is headphones plugged into a computer. Doesn't hear
a damned thing I say anyway.

You will not die of it if you smell their smoke. It's got ridiculous.

You miss the point in your anxiety to defend the habit. The OP never said
they were not entitled, you stupid woman. They merely asked if there was
a feasible way of keeping away from themselves.

You will not die of it if you smell their smoke. It's got ridiculous.

Again, your smoker's agenda is clouding the issue. They don't *like* the
smoke; that is the problem.

I wonder how many smokers would complain if their neighbour put the dog loo
or compost heap next to their patio/kitchen window.
Neither will kill them.

I don't complain when neighbours have a bonfire or barbecue. It's called
living together in harmony.

I don't smoke but I do like a drink so the residue from my habbit is
urine. Following the smokers arguement they would not object if I poured
urine all over them would they?

Showing your age mate. There must be somebody you can blame for something?

Perhaps your neighbours wouldn't. But if I lived next door to you (or
them) I'd move.

Neither do I. They have a barbecue half a dozen times a year. Another
neighbour has a bonfire once a month or so. The smokers next door are
out smoking half a dozen times a night, every night three feet from our
conservatory windows. Shutting the windows means we get no airflow and
is very uncomfortable in hot weather, opening them means our living room
fills with the stink.
