Who to report to

"Currently they are trying to ban "third hand smoke" - which is the idea that if you smoke in a room alone with nobody thee that somehow leftover smoke residue could hurt someone who comes into the room hours or days later. "

 

[ The third hand smoke ban is to prevent harm to infants and children from the after effects of smoking by parents or others in their household. Although any non-smoker can tell you that motel/hotel rooms previously used by smokers is a most malodorous experience.]

 

"This, given that many scientists debate the actual risk of second hand smoke. They point out that yes, it can be a minor hazard, but that there are actually higher concentrations of carcinogins in truck exhaust, anti-wrinkle cream, some times of perfume and cologne and any number of beauty products that people regularly use."

 

[ I believe that argument was also made by tobacco companies and their "doctors" that smoking was not harmful ./i]

I wouldn't classify "most," at least not in those terms.

I guess you would classify it at 5.1 in ten?

Does it really make some sort of difference to you how I would classify it? Ok, here's how I will classify it: Most means more than half.

[Guest laurence]

: Most means more than half.

 

Do you think you could clarify your response, GB? Is that more than half full or half empty? 555

Neither. The glass is simply too big.

[Guest slackersam]

So, you are saying that size matters?

Only in the eye (?) of the beholder.

I've yet to have a cock in my eye.

 

My nose is another matter.

Last night a friend and I were out and about in Pattaya and noticed that more and more bars are ignoring the no smoking laws .

 

I have tried to talk to some bar owners and managers where it is occurring with no results.

 

So I thought today I would call the city help desk 1337 and find out how to report violations. The person that took my call after putting me on hold for awhile to check came back on line and told me to call the police at the following number:

 

038 420 802...5

 

She also told me to call the city managers office if the police did not go to check. So with this information and the names and location of some of the Sunee Plaza that are violating the law, I called.

 

No answer. I tried for 10 minutes redialing all 3 numbers. No answer.

 

I thought the call center must have given me the wrong number. So I went on line to check. The number was correct and I found additional numbers 038-428-223, 038 429- 371. I tried those numbers. Same thing. Despite my redialing each number for 10 minutes, No answer.

 

Not giving up, I thought ok I will call the tourist police. I saw that they have a special 4 digit number 1155, but that number seems to be out of service.

 

So after 30 minutes of trying to get someone to answer the phone I remembered that I saw a number on a no smoking sign that was in Thai. I went to check that number 025903342. Some one answered. Apparently is was the Alcohol and tobacco control number. Problem for me was they only speak Thai.

 

So I decided that I would make up a petition. Get some people to sign it and submit it to the Mayor's Office and also see if I could get the press involved.

 

Are there any other ideas? "Vote with my feet" is not an option. It is my hope to bring these violators to their knees!!

whether you live in Thailand or a visitor,anyone who would even consider ringing the Thai police because someone is smoking in a bar,needs to reavaluate his life.I was a very heavy smoker for many years and now suffer from extreme lung disease.I would never insist that some one stop smoking,i would ask politely if he would stop,if he refused,i would move on to somewhere else.I prefer,unless everyone is smoking and i am having trouble breathing,i try to persevere.As far as the law goes how many have you broken.Take a big grip of your cock,and try and think.

It did until I had another look at my own size. Well, I tried to have a look anyway, but I dropped the magnifying glass.

[Guest slackersam]

Exactly, Damien.
