Been asked by a local pub to look into/improve some space heaters in the "smoking shelter". Seems a bit irresponsible to me this day and age, just wasting the earths resources trying to heat up the atmosphere while some people attempt to hasted their demise. What do you think, I thought Electricians were being encouraged to be energy efficient!
 
I was a smoker up until 11 years ago. I have no grudge against anyone that wants to do it, as long as it's not around me or my kids. Many times I have been to a pub and had to walk through people smoking in the doorway because it was cold outside or in the shelter. So for that reason I would do it. Just to get them out of the way of normal people that don't want to inhale their rubbish.

Well carbon offsetting is the trendy moral pacifier, so offer to install the heaters if they change all their lighting to LED :)
 
The smokers will likely live shorter lives and so save resources otherwise used in their old age.
Maybe suggest a timer system or motion sensor so they shut off when not needed.
 
several times i've been in these so called shelters. freezing cold. heaters either with burnt out tubes or switched off behind the bar. bad enough that we can't have a room ( bar area, say ) designated as smoking area, but shoved out into the cold in a freezing "shelter" with 3 sides open to the elements. it's a bummer. us smokers are being discriminated against in defiance of human rights. if it were women, blacks, muslims or gays that had to suffer, what an outcry there would be.

I think they should allow smokers back in and ban kids. When we have brexited we can stop these daft continental ways.
 
I can't stand the filthy habit,even after partaking of the disgusting habit, the practitioners then have the audacity to dispose of their filth on the floor or if outside on the pavement,it can completely ruin your clothes
It also costs me (via my council tax) for the filth to be removed and I really resent this cost

Many times whilst out enjoying a smoke (out of the way of the self righteous) I contemplate why people chew gum then spit the filth anywhere without shame
