Debbie Does Chinatown indeed!
I read a book about the Vietnam war and one of the military commanders was called (genuinely) Lo Bum Suk. That dovetails perfickly with the Debbie Does franchise.

Didn't you hear that the sweet and sour chicken is one of the best dishes out there. If its from big bird is perfect and economical - more meat with one cooking

I prefer Sweet and Sour Pork Hong Kong style[^] to chicken - it has a better texture, but S&S C is pretty good.
Not as good as "proper" street food Satay in Thailand / Malaysia (the worlds most perfect food), but it's pretty good!

When? We dunno yet, but "before the next election" which basically means in the next 12 months or so.
It doesn't affect me: I gave up in 2004, but ... what do you think? Is this a massive violation of your rights? Or preventing a violation of the rights of children to breathe "good" air?
Does it work? I know it's been illegal in parts of Australia for 5 or more years, so does it affect anyone here?
I remember that when I was a kid, my Mum and my Dad smoked like chimneys, and on long journeys it was hard to see across the car at times...and yes, that probably did contribute to me becoming a smoker later on in life, but I can't say it definitely did.

To be honest. You shouldn't have to ban that. That's just common sense. If you need a cigarette you can make a break and smoke where you don't affect any other people (especially children). The same goes for smoking inside. If you're around children: go outside!

I agree - but too many do still.
What continually amazes me is the number of people who seem to think that smoking a joint in the car on the way to the shops is fine and undetectable - judging by the strong smell clinging to them as they walk round the fruit and veg!

That should be obligatory by law. Too many people have a huge lack of common sense

Common sense?
Are you serious?
Common sense has about as many meanings as there are people around.
And then you have all those people that doesn't care about other people, including their own children.
I'm predicting a large outcry about the nannystate.
And just to clarify, I completely agree with you.

If it is then you must also have the right to spray 2,4-D in your car with kids present or drive around with an open can of pcbs next to them.

I am a smoker.
However I would not smoke in a car with a child anyway, so I feel this law is an invasion of rights and privacy.
Also, it will be virtually impossible to enforce.
They banned making mobile phone calls whilst driving yet it doesn't stop it happening all the time (Guilty as charged your honour).
Also, and rather weirdly, there was a 10 year study that had a very surprising result.
So surprising that the team behind the study had to check their figures. Twice.
The study found no statistically significant relationship between lung cancer and exposure to passive smoke, however. Only among women who had lived with a smoker for 30 years or more was there a relationship that the researchers described as “borderline statistical significance.”
(American Cancer Institute - Passive Smoking Study - 76,000 women over a decade)
There are many matters that need sorting out in this country, yet they seem hell bent on wasting time of minutiae and trivia rather than addressing the big issues.
We are being nannied to death and we need to stop interfering in every aspect of people's lives.
It would be easier to just make it socially unacceptable, like drink driving rather than legislating.
Speed Awareness notices are a great case in point.
Where there is a speed camera in place people will either get prosecuted for speeding or will drive as fast as they can then bang on the brakes just ahead of it.
But where there is a display telling you your speed rather than a camera, people will slow down more gently and continue at the lower speed.
In this case Cajolery works better than Punishment.
It should be the same with smoking.
My only wish, as a smoker, is that I should be treated as an adult.
There should be licensed premises where one can smoke.
Adult only, with people who smoke working there, and no access for children or non-smokers.
