Grumpy Old Men. (1) (Smoking)

At the moment I am working at the project office for the huge redevelopment that is transforming King's Cross Station.To get to and from the tube I have to pass through the magnificently refurbished St Pancreas Station. All well and good if you keep within the station confines as smoking is now prohibited, but as soon as you emerge outside its smoke fume city.Everywhere, gathered around the entrances are clusters of poor sods indulging in their habit whilst breathing out on all us other mortals their exhaled smoke.It does not end there, as once you get to the office you run the gauntlet of the office smokers getting relief outside. The adjacent site office has a designated smokers area outside, which because of their location doubles up as a bike shed Talk about returning to childhood. So in the lift you get and that too reeks of smoke.Absolutely disgusting
So is there a solution? In my books there is, ban all smoking, get rid of the dreadful weed once and for all, for who does it benefit? just shareholders of the tobacco manufacturers, for everybody else, we just have to suffer from health risks which increases from exposure to the smoking habit. Who the **** thought this was a good idea?
If they were still around today they would be one of the first in my firing line.
More about my ideal firing to come!
