Maybe it’s me waiting for him to bite with the “I wasn’t being serious, only joking etc etc” routine 
,as he did last time I picked up on a similar comment he made

You are just too ■■■■ clever for me Wheelnut, 
but pleased I got my comment in before you, so I am too ■■■■ fast for you 
Harry Monk:
Non-smokers are inconsiderate people who do not pay their fair share of taxes and insist on living until they are 95 and being an enormous drain on those who have to pay their pensions for the last 30 years of their unproductive coffin-dodging lives, as well as having to pay for their dementia care and incontinence (more money is spent by the NHS on the last six months of your life than on the rest of it put together) whereas smokers pay high taxes and have the decency to die aged 67 after a short illness.Like it says on the packets…
+1…could not have put it better, (from an electronic cigarette “smoker”)

I do believe that non-smokers are a lot less creative than smokers! Must be they are so ■■■■ about smokers! ■■■■ all non-smokers! You get what you deserve you ■■■■■■■■■
the simple point is that smoking isnt a personal habit it effects other people at the time and long after,weve just been given a £1800 cleaning bill for a 10 plate FH500 that was sent back to the leasing co,theyve even had all the dash out and removed all the climate control pipes and ducts and soaked them till the water turned brown they have had to replace climate sensors the leather seat squab recover the bunk cos of ■■■ burns all interior wall linings have been washed and the curtains replaced.i refused to drive this truck for a week 6 mths ago just moving it around the yard made my hands stink with a build up on the leather steering wheel.only when a smoker seals himself in a deep sea diving suit will it become a personal habit
When I worked at Panic, my truck was MY truck. I asked the loaders to please not smoke when they had moved it. They ALL respected my wishes. When I went on holiday, my TM wouldn’t send it out. Only once did an agency driver use it for half a day. I came back and there was ■■■ ash on the dash.
I told my boss I wasn’t happy, and he bought a new bunk, new curtains and had it valeted.
Top bloke, top company. Low life stinking smoker. 
If people stop smoking the duty on diesel and petrol would increase along with a hike in income tax rates.The Government need their money.

That sounds like something Luke has been driving whilst smoking kippers
Which is my next moan. I don’t expect my missus to cook a Sunday roast in the bedroom, so why do drivers do it?
I want to go in a pub to talk loudly, drink decent beer and smoke. I don’t want to watch football replays every night or mind my P’s and Q’s while a family eats a meal next to the bar on a two for one deal. Bring back the smoking room, ban pubs from selling food and let those who want to watch telly buy a case of White Diamond from Aldi.
PS I hope the FH bunk is feeling better
Personally, I think it’s time we stopped persecuting smokers and started picking on fatso lard-arses. I see these disgusting specimens of shameless humanity feeding their fat faces wherever I go. Truck drivers particularly seem prone to adopting the “Billy Bunter” look, especially those who do not smoke, since their appetites are not nicotine-suppressed and they fill every moment of their spare time scoffing pies and cakes.
Never mind non-smoking truckstops, we need non-eating truckstops. The “Belly-Buster” breakfast should be re-classified as a Class A drug
■■■■ stained truckers have that effect on me strangely. And people called Vincent.

Well said that man!
When the smoking ban was introduced, there was plenty of bollox talked about all those poor non-smokers who now had the freedom to go and enjoy pubs… except that by and large it’s never happened because one half of them don’t drink either 'cos they’re either health freaks or just too mean, and the other half’s allergic to anyone having a good time, consequently the British boozer’s a dying institution. The Dutch have got the right idea, you can smoke in some of the smaller bars if they’re privately owned. It should be up to the individual landlord.
And if parents really must inflict their screaming ill-behaved nappy-fillers on the general public, at least force the little sods to sit still instead of running riot in the pub!

All you namby pamby so called drivers a truck is a work horse, its a tool to make money, get a life and stop fussing…
I was given a truck on friday, must admit it was very clean, frilly curtains ( which i felt like ripping down ) lovely fancy blue m.a.n. seat covers, felt like greasing them up, and a little made up sign sayingif you like a clean truck to drive, keep this clean…so that got thrown across to the passenger side, no one can tell me to clean a truck, if you wanna clean it…then do it…i will however pick up any paper i drop, and throw it out of the window, but as for baby wipes for the steering wheel, gear lever, etc, etc…what a load of nonsence, and i will smoke in any truck i drive, because i want to. at the end of the day i am a driver, not a cleaner, but thanks anyway.Oh well that’s ok then…,I’ll just re-cap,… you think it’s acceptable to use somebody else’s motor, which you admit was clean, as long as you chuck all your litter out of the window
, while feeling the urge to rip the guy’s curtains down, and purposely grease up his seat covers, take offence because he had the cheek
Robroy, I though he was very understanding and respetful to the other driver, very nice of him to chuck the note away
prob leaves strange stains on the beds too!!
I find one of the most irritating things in pubs is the silent broadcasts of Sky Sports News; Admittedly it’s no better with the sound, who wants to see repeated team news of some part time football team?
I love going to the pub to watch man utd live on sky sports sitting down with a cold beer.
But oh how I hate it when I need a ■■■ and I have to go outside only to return and see I have missed that great goal.
I agree it should be down to the land lord if smoking is aloud in there pub or not. If you don’t like smokers then don’t go in that F’ing pub where there smoking then go in your posh non smoking expensive empty pub up the road and buy yourself a cold steak for £20 and shut up and enjoy it. Yes that’s how it should be
The road I live on has gone from 4 pubs within a mile of me, all making a steady living before the smoking ban, to 1 that is now trying to be a high end fancy restaurant and failing miserably (only open 2 nights a week) and another that keeps finding total dross type folk to have a go just to keep the place open without the owning group having to pay wages.
One that’s shut down is going to be a Tesco, less than a mile from an existing Tesco.
Yep, the smoking ban is helping everyone…
