What do you make of this?

There is no online copy of this, hence the picture.

Notice how the solicitor says how courts wouldn't currently stop someone smoking in their own home?
Well it's already happening in America and us Brits just love to follow the Yanks.

Can you imagine the headline if he takes the solicitors advice and asks for a move?

"Man forced out of home by filthy, inconsiderate smokers"

A man was today forced to leave his home of many years due to cigarette smoke from a chain smoking neighbour entering his flat and putting his health at serious risk.

  • Smoking causes undescended testicles, experts say.

The depressing thing is, smoke won't even be entering this chaps house and he won't really be able to smell it. He will be aware that is lower neighbour is a smoker, and being a rabid anti-smoker, he is just imagining that the smoke is entering his flat.

And he feels the need to contact a solicitor?

Two can play at that game. If the smoker gets hassle complain about the smell of bacon, wood burner, cooking smells, leaks, obnoxious odours, noise etc.

I don't think you have the right to complain about any smells unless its fag smoke.
Cigarette smoke trumps all because it kills little babies and puppies in seconds.

If you smoke you are already considered to be less than equal to a non smoker. Cigarette smoke seems to be the most pernicious substance on the planet. It is able to seep through walls and persist for years on paintwork etc. etc..

We are watching our country descend into a bizarre shit bin of competing whiners, all trying to get something, even if it a few lines in the local rag, for nothing. Why don't they just grow up, fuck off and leave others alone?

Never mind smokers, there's no more obnoxious nuisance that a bloody lawyer...

If anyone takes this seriously then they are obviously a cunt.

The fucking socialists in Australia banned people from smoking in their own flats a few years ago because of this very thing - it's not getting any better with that cunt, Gillard, in charge!

Bucko said...

Mud in the blood - Yeah, it's amazing what fag smoke can do these days. The big tobacco companies must have been breeding a mutant strain of smoke that can seep into non smokers houses and get them addicted.

Dioclese - Have I just been called a cunt? Surely not sir.

Barking Spider - Things aint gonna get better from I long time. Here or over there.

You people need to wake up! Inhaling second-hand smoke causes diarreah, incontinence, flatulence, inverted nipples and ingrowing toenails. I saw in on the BBC.

It sounds like he has bought the flat so he will have to pay to move elsewhere.
A tent on Salisbury Plain maybe......oh! hang on.

You forgot...ingrown arsehole.

And being an anti smoker turns you into an arsehole

Being an American I cannot identify with the statement in the article "best option is to ASK for a move"?

Unless of course this individual is sucking on the government teat for their very existence to and including room and board at which point they have no reason to complain,,,about anything.

Bucko said...

It's possible he's renting from a private landlord who has other properties. It's also possible he's sucking on the tax tit. Folk like that are more likley to complain as they beleive they are entitled.

Cig. smoke I can tolerate, the foul stench that is emitted form homes of Asian households is vile & makes one puke.

The foul stuff being cooked for food can pollute a complete neighborhood, the smell gets in your hair, cloths, curtains, carpets etc.

So in the summer heat you have to keep your house closed and all windows sealed to attempt to keep the vile stench from poluting your life!!!

Anonymous should know that chlorine gas, easily made by mixing common household chemicals, can rid him of Asian neighbours' cooking smells for good. Pump it into their house at night to avoid global warming.
