I'm a diabetic, and in my younger days, when a pub really pi**ed me off I'd leave a (new, sterile) insulin syringe in one of the ashtrays as I left... That was usually sufficient to start getting them a reputation as a junkie's hangout...

how irresponsible, thats as bad as smoking!

Been there, by proxy.

My partner was thrown out by a doorman in a pub when s/he took his/er insulin, even though s/he uses one of the pen things.

The door staff simply assumed that anything injucted was an illegal narcotic.

I completely disagree with your statement about the insulin when a diabetic needs it he should take it he needs it to live you dont need cigarettes to live you need it to make yourself feel good you dont need cigarettes to do that all my family smokes i think the reason i dont is cause i put my self in a eternal happy state i could get punched and ill still be in a good mood.
Its just smokers that make me mad when im trying to eat my sister lights up a cigarette and i end up choking i dont wanna die at a young age for something i couldnt control
