I guess this one is for the public’s health too, right?
SHIPS travelling in British waters face a complete smoking ban next year. The Department for Transport is considering banning smoking inside vessels within 12 miles (19km) of the British coast. The move would mean that smokers could light up for only 17 of the 29 miles between Dover and Calais.
As a reminder, not even Nazi Germany was this oppressive. As a Navy man, I cannot fathom anything more outrageous than this as I assume that this will apply to Naval ships as well. So if I understand this, you can go out and risk your life in the name of your country… But you cannot light up if you’re in British waters. I try very hard to keep the language to a minimum here, but this calls for a Navy classic… Unfuckingbelievable.
