OK TMH, it's been fun bandying words with an archetypical, arrogant smoker,
but I can't justify any more of today in a battle of wits against an unarmed
adversary.

Still being a pompous **** I see. At least you are consistent.

So you think it's perfectly reasonable to inflict your smoking stench on
others?

A straight 'yes' will suffice.

Of course he does.
He doesn't care that it causes other people to cough,make their eyes
sore and their clothes smell.
He doesn't care that it may start an asthmatic attack.
He's happy to ignore these things.
He's a smoker.

AKA a drug addict.

Nicotine has been shown to be more addictive than heroin in a
controlled, peer-reviewed, experiment involving American college students.

Strange but true, many people make the positive choice to be smokers.

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.

You can't, can you? They are perfectly entitled to smoke in their house or
their garden.
You will not die of it if you smell their smoke. It's got ridiculous.

That's why they deserve our sympathy. OK, so someone made a bad choice
in starting to smoke (probably as a teenager). We all make bad choices
when young, it's just that this decision is very hard to reverse.

Nope, wrong again.

Like many other things can.

You are a fascist.

You DO care? But you still inflict it on them. How nice of you.

Well done, a true statement at last.
Many things cause asthmatic attacks. But that doesn't give you the
right to cause one to an innocent victim.

Wrong. You have just told us that you will continue inflicting your
smoke on others.

Ah. The final resort of the lost argument.

No. I think its perfectly reasonable to have smoking & non smoking
areas. It's called 'choice'.

A straight 'yes' will suffice.

I think a straight '**** off' would suffice.
