Non Smoker in a four man room with three smokers

[BadUn]

My God-son has been forced to share a room, he is a Private, with three smokers. Is this right.

 

[Billwhyman]

Yes.

 

[cdnhaggis]

Not to worry, he'll be smoking soon enough.

 

[BadUn]

Yes.

Why

 

[Billwhyman]

Because RHIP. Thats why.

 

[CAARPS]

Other than the wah factor.

The other three must get f*cking cold, smoking is not allowed inside any military building.

Is he missing out on conversation when they go outside

 

[Billwhyman]

I was under the impression that all MOD properties were now non-smoking and that smoking in all accommodation - whether it be shared or single - was now prohibited?

Thats what i meant really, although, by my reckoning, CO's can make one Accn block a 'smoking' block, if they so wish.

Perhaps the question should be:

'Has my god-son started smoking, but needs to try and explain why his clothes all stink of fags without telling the truth?'

I think your reckoning is wrong

I stand corrected then. Im in london at the mo, in one of them groovy SSSA flats, before that was STC in Germany, so havent lived in proper block for a while.

I did read that the above could happen, i take it that plan was scrapped?

Although, with Z type accommodation, individual rooms may be nominated smoking (so some say). I am almost certain no public area can be a smoking area, regardless of agreement.

So you are not totally wrong. Buggers muddle as usual

Im in luck when i get posted then!

From the bad press that military accom gets, they don't need smoking in the blocks, they need burning !

 

[BadUn]

Other than the wah factor.

The other three must get f*cking cold, smoking is not allowed inside any military building.

Is he missing out on conversation when they go outside

The Feckers are smoking in the room

 

[Bisley_Bob]

Individual rooms can be nominated as smoking. As for shared rooms, i don't know.

No he is totally against smoking, to the point of boring the rest of us

 

[pyrogenica]

Presuming this isn't a wah, the mess I stay in occasionally allows smoking in individual rooms, but not in any general areas.

Surprisingly enough, they haven't quite made smoking illegal yet, so as long as people are allowed to smoke in their room, I would think there's little he can do about it.

Of course he could always try to insist that his colleagues don't smoke in his presence or complain about it up the chain, but I would suggest that sort of intolerance might be ill advised. The response is unlikely to be less than physical.

As a smoker myself, I try to spare non smokers my fumes if they don't try to make my life miserable in the process of making their point. Tolerance cuts both ways, and mine gets a bit stretched at times being lectured on morality by people with dubious enough personal practices of their own.

Are you sure that he's not an ex smoker?

I gathered that mate

They are wrong and breaking regulations, far be it for me to advise him (he has to live with them), however, they are totally out of order.

When I was young I lived I an 8 man room (old H block) and most of the lads smoked, for most of them they sparked up before they opened their eyes in the morning. Would I have complained if we had this current law, probably not.

It’s his call, however he has a legitimate grievance. You are not allowed to smoke in shared areas

Tea + monitor = unhappy GSB. Pissing my kilt but unhappy

It is bound to happen. My old camp had a problem with the single soldiers to bedspace ratio, HQ block was renowned for its overcrowding. People get put where there is space for them, simple as.

I would imagine they do have permission to smoke in their room, I always did when living in, so if he is that concerned about it (which it sounds like he is) his first port of call should be his SQMS/ CQMS or equivalent. He should be able to come to some kind of arrangment, swapping rooms or something similar- just don't expect him to be popular for a while for f**king the lads around...

If that doesn't help, he should push for a CBRN instructors course, as I imagine hs masking up and decontamination drills will be untouchable soon enough.
