        No actually, though I was when I joined CP edit: you may assume that I didn't get younger.

              You really should. Take a puff every hour or two and you will have a substantial increase in mental capacity. It is better than coffee. If I had some I'd smoke.

                  Given that coffee does not increase mental capacity, that's a bit like saying that having one arm is better than having none, if you want to play the guitar.

                    It's not that I care these kids (who have a high chance of having bad genes, seeing as at least one of the parents has the stupid-gene), but lack of rationality disturbs me. What do they hope to gain from this? Medical bills? That could work. Smoking in the presence of your children is child abuse. Discuss. btw, IMHO Ray Cassick won the previous thread, congratulations.

                    We moved from Australia to Holland this year with our two year old. In Oz it's illegal to smoke in a car with a child, within X meters of a park or playground and you would almost never see someone smoking while pushing a pram. In Holland they smoke everywhere, at the playground with their kids, at the dinner table and its not always tobacco. I pick the butts out of the local sandpit while he plays.

                      I didn't know you'd moved there. I vaguely knew you were there and assumed it was a temporary work trip or something. That's just gross.

                        We still have our house in Sydney. The company is providing accommodation till the end of the year when we will go home for xmas. We'll either sell up then and return to Holland or stay in Sydney for good. Life here is fun, if you look on facebook you'll see a photo of my Mrs and son in their new three wheeled bakfiets (box bike).

                          I think I saw those bikes on 60 Minutes.... Sounds like I was pretty much right in what I thought then. You think you'll move there ?

                            This trip has been a nice junket so far but probably not. Life here has a lot going for it but there's no place like home. Moving families, even small ones, around the world is expensive and stressful.

                              Yeah, I would agree. No matter how nice some places are to visit, they are never home.

                                Not all parts of the netherlands are equally bad :) But too many people here smoke, that is definitely true.

                                    Ahh yes.. Amsterdam is one of the worst places. Where I live, there is usually at least one ass who smokes at the train station. There are usually some butts on the playground near my house, most of them from the drunk teenagers who hang out there on friday nights. No extreme amounts though. I don't own any red trousers, and I don't know what it would mean if I did :confused:

                                      I've just been amazed at what the guys will wear here. Red pants seem quite common.

                                        Something like 25% of cancers are caused by bad diet, another 25% by type 2 diabetes, and about 30% by chemicals, such as those in cigarete smoke. So why not also state that eating crap food in front of your kids is equally bad. And feeding them it is even worse. In fact why arent crap foods illlegal, and especially sugar, the cause of type 2 diabetes. Oh, and as for real fires, no doubt the smoke they produce also causes cancer, so ban those, especially in houses with kids. Next dust particles. Living near a quarry or working with wood can cause sillicosis, lets ban that too eh? Come on, get a grip.

                                        Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

                                          I've just been amazed at what the guys will wear here. Red pants seem quite common.

                                          Could be one of those "Amsterdam things" .. I see mostly jeans and black suits here. That's not what I wear, either. I usually wear the light coloured outdoors "quickdry" pants. Because they're just nice to wear, not to make any weird statement :)
