Smoking on Corniche

entria_qt
By entria_qt

Smoking should not be allowed at corniche. Many people go there and bring their family to do a lot of activities, especially for health purposes. Others walk and jog, while others smoke.

SMOKING SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON CORNICHE AND OTHER PLACES WHERE PEOPLE DO THEIR EXERCISES.

One shot who told you bikes don't emit any fumes??

i am not defending for smokers ,because i don't and i hate its smell.

but focusing on minor problems is not the solution.

his problem is personal.

he hate to see people smoking which is good but it is also against their freedom since it is in open areas

More serious smooching involves chopping off of the tongue I believe LK

Tinks... I was referring to TB's previous post on chopping off the lips for smoking, so the same applies to smooch I guess... We will ask him :)

WK, anyone can smoke in the desert or public place provided they must contain the smoke within themselves... :)))

TB, So the same law applies to smoke and smooch? :)

I'm not sure, but I believe in some countries you can have your lips chopped off for smoking in a prohibited area.

(Before anyone comments... this is satirical humour)

And I would just like to say now that WK's next comment that he will be posting here very soon, is also satirical humour and is top quality.

Just yesterday I got lost in the desert and was stuck in the middle of nowhere. There was this man who appeared out of nowhere to help me but before helping me get out he lit up a cigarette. I smelled the smoke, Oh the horror!!!!

I am part of the public, I was there so that was a public place at that time. Can we please have a law banning smoking in deserts :(

I may have died out there smelling that smoke

Smoke or smooch both can be penalised.

There is an existing law that makes smoking in the public prohibited by law."

Bobbydarling.... smoking at inside venues in public is against the law. The same law does not reach to the cornishe:-) thank goodness!!!

Corniche is classified as a confined space where all the people get suffocated with the smoke? What a Joke!

smoking is bad for ur health and cornice is

good for ur eyes only hhehehe

It is good enough that they dont smoke in Offices and public buildings. Smoking in such a huge open area near to a big sea doesn't harm any body. You have to think of the smoke coming out from the Gas refineries all around Qatar. What do you think the amount of dangerous smoke coming out of it. Should they stop it also????? If they will stop that smoke, none of us will be here in Qatar....

Corniche is an open area... it's not like every section of the corniche is filled with smokers, just move away from them..

corniche is an open area, what should be looked into is the smoking inside the malls especially at the coffee shops, you often see people smoking at these coffee shops with the NO SMOKING signs just above their head, so where are the so-called health inspectors?

"smoke is coming from the vehicles driving down the corniche road with more harmful chemicals"

Like we need more.

It is funny but true, i go for long brisk walk on all days at 4.30 am at the Ground in front of the airport. I used to see a man who comes for exercise and walk but stands and smokes after few rounds of walk . I always used to feel what is he Doing and why take all these efforts if he wants to SMOKE AWAY all the good he is getting with the walk

By DaRuDe• 19 Oct 2010 13:41

Wats the problem in smoking at Corniche, after all most of them are using Cigratte filters - so no harm - i think ? :(

By snessy• 19 Oct 2010 13:30

To be fair it is outdoors, so have no issues with smokers there. If you don't like smoke, move away from it, the corniche is big enough to accomodate smokers and non smokers.

By anonymous• 19 Oct 2010 13:29

I wish they can allow drinks on the corniche :)

By anonymous• 19 Oct 2010 13:28

prince more smoke is coming from the vehicles driving down the corniche road with more harmful chemicals.

Get your priorities right
