Ban Smoking on Golf Courses

Shouldn't just be banned on golf courses. Should be made illegal full stop. It's disgusting. People compare it to alcohol but that comparison is weak. You can't get second degree drunkenness sat next to a fella drinking a pint.
 
I have no problem with folk who are prepared to endanger their health and keep my taxes down!

As long as they don't leave their butts on the green, that's fine with me. I'd sooner they disposed of them in better places than just dropping them, but can live with that.

It's a pleasure to play with a guy who smokes cigars - though he hates smokers who simply drop their non-biodegradable butts on fairways.

I hate being told what I can't do even more than being told what I must do, so would be very anti on-course smoking bans!

In this day in age you no longer have to be subjected to passive smoking.so I can't see why it should be made illegal.
As a none smoker I think the smoking ban is the best thing to happen,but I don't have a problem if others choose to smoke.

At the moment I use a istick 30w with a naturevape midi procoil for everyday/golf use and also carry a sigelei 50w with a delta 2 for a bit of sub ohm vaping and huge clouds!

Regularly walk through a town centre on my way to work and have to move out of the way of someone that's smoking so I don't have to enhale their second hand smoke. It's disgusting, and it's ridiculous that people are still able to do something that is so obviously bad for you, has no medicinal benefits (unlike something like Marijuana) and is harmful to people around you. If there wasn't so much taxation money in it, it'd be illegal.

Fair enough mate,everyone's entitled to an opinion.
I certainly find it better not stinking of smoke after a night out.
 
Markw - Pretty similar!!
Started 50/50 at least 5 years ago - ZERO tobacco products for the last 2.
I have had original istick for 3 months, now have second istick30 for 3 weeks and switch between the two. Tooting like a train I do a battery in 1.5 ~ 2 days, about 5ml of juice. The second battery is always charged and waiting in the car/pocket.

Atomiser is Kangertech EMOW. I re-build my own coils so 'similar' to naturevape (which I had never heard of).
I also mix my own juice (last 6 months) - really easy, know what's going in & cheap as chips!

Tried (trying) sub ohm currently but not yet nailed a good coil wind that ticks all the boxes. Mainly using 1.5ohm.
EDIT - use many online retailers but recently found vapeinc. GREAT value to start with but after you 'pay' put in code POTV15 for extra 15% off :whoo:

I am on the istick as well but the older 20w. Need to upgrade to try sub ohm vaping. That with a aerotank full of scorpion blood and i am happy.

Cool, I have re coiled in the past but with the procoils lasting me 3-4 months just rewicking and costing £6 I cant be bothered anymore! The delta 2 also has the rba and they are £2.99 for 5 perfect 0.9ohm pre wicked coils!
I started mixing my own very early so about 6 years now and import 75mg nicotine from usa at 3 litres at a time!

Cigars have a very pleasant aroma when smoked as a generalisation. I am a non-smoker, but at certain times of year it helps to have a smoker in your group as it keeps wasps, midges and the likes away.
 
I banned smoking for four weeks on a course when I was a HGK.
Surrey heathland course 1976, in the middle of a drought. No one smoked/no one complained.

As an aside smokers are generally a pain in the bottom on a golf course as litterers. Phag packets in the undergrowth is still quite a common site even with greatly reduced numbers.

Smokers, they are a dieing breed.
 
It's not for me to tell other people what to do when they act within the law. That is one of the great things about living in a free country. I haven't met an inconsiderate smoker in years.

I'm thinking about starting smoking on the course. I think it looks cool. There's no finer sight in golf than a chap striding down the fairway with a pipe ablaze :thup:

You're more likely to be hit by a car driven by a drunk than a smoker
