Are you kidding me?

If the smoke bothers you, ask to go down wind. That should be the end of it.

I'm sorry but I just can't get upset about smokers when the boat is full of diesel fumes.

Oh and yes I am a smoker..and I have to just shake my head at those that complain about cig smoke whilst breathing in the exhaust from the boat engines.:shakehead:

However I do go to the back of the boat if I feel the need to light up because that is where the polluting fumes are.:D
 
I am shocked that there are so many divers who smoke.
And they usaully have better air consumption than non-smokers.

:D
 
I agree. It surprises me too.
What surprises you?
 
Face it...scuba diving isn't a puritanical nor an elitist sport as much as some participants want to believe that it is. Scuba divers come from all walks of life from the non-smokers to the smokers from the thin to the obese and from the functional to the handicap and the young to the old.

Scuba diving is a sport that should be encoureged to all.
 
I'm quite upset by the antismoking *******. I can understand the offence when in confined spaces (indoors) but not on a boat that is reeking of diesel fumes anyway. One point.. the smoker needs to be some what polite and considerate to his fellow divers. And yes a cigar can reek but not so much as the output of the engine.

And no I do not smoke.
 
I couldn't disagree more.

What do you disagree with about my statement?
Do you think that scuba diving should only be practiced by the physically elite?


Splain.
