Can you show me the proof to back that up please
Second smoke is second had smoke whether it's outside or inside. The levels of risk will be different but the risk is there even if it's minimal.

This thread has nothing to do with the relationship between smoking and golf
It is nothing but a thinly veiled attack on smokers, that has been jumped on the bandwagon by other individuals.

Chill out
Smoking is for winners and Chick's dig it.
Exactly right, as I mentioned earlier, there are a lot of life's moaners that play golf!

Too busy being a "cool" smoker to worry about irony!?

I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. But i'm sorry you lost people close to you.

Haha, I don't smoke! Got no problem with playing with them though, round was a bit slow yesterday and two older boys in front asked if we wanted to join them and we agreed, the 73 year old was a rollie smoker on every hole, didn't hold us up, didn't drop butts and got the highest score out of the four ball!

Having never been to a forum meet yet, I'm interested to know, do many of the forum meet regulars smoke?
And do do the vociferous anti smoking players refuse to play in the same group as the smokers?

Good question
Having never been also i cannot comment.......however
I would imagine they are to busy sniffing their own lovely smelling farts, whilst toasting to what super perfect individuals they are.

should caveat that by stating in the interests of transparency that I was a smoker until 2 years ago.

Maybe they were just being polite. If it was a one off game and i had a problem I would in all likelihood bottle it up to maintain a pleasant atmosphere. If it was someone i played with more often and I had an issue then i would bring it up.

What a surreal thread
Read all the replies but had to go back to the opening post in order to give some kind of answer
No, I don’t think smoking should be banned on golf courses. I’m a smoker and go through 5-10 cigs during a round
I might be persuaded to rethink my opinion on a ban if the concerns and arguments supporting one become rational, proportional and pertinent

I never, ever throw my fag butts around on the course.
I either put them in the bins provided, or will push them down in the sand in bunkers so that I know they go out properly. Damp sand is best for this.
I always rake my footprints too.

Here fishy, fishy 😜
Personally, one of my regular playing partners smokes like a chimney, does not bother me one bit.
Think the idea of banning it outdoors is ludicrous, PC brigade gone mad.

Obviously this is an emotive topic - and as with all such issues - emotion often gets the better of reason as is demonstrated by many of the previous posts. So, a few comments to consider.
There are many places where outdoor smoking is already banned- most notably New York where smoking is banned in all parks, beaches, boardwalks and public golf courses.
There is research to demonstrate that risks associated with passive smoking exist at significant level with outdoor smoking.
Also evidence that this risk drops rapidly with separation by distance and that risk falls to "background level" at a few feet away.
Non smokers can get lung cancer from passive smoking.
Non smokers can also get lung cancer for reasons entirely unconnected with smoke.
You can make your own minds up. But I still think it is excessive to ban it entirely as individuals can take their own action to avoid risk.
