My request to the UK Government for some new legislation

BBC News today is currently carrying this story.For those who haven't the time to read it, apparantly Office Printers are a risk to our health being capable of damaging "lungs in much the same way as smoke particles from cigarettes."

With this in mind I would like to see some new legislation from our Government;



Given the Australian Research on the impact to our health of Office Printers (Laser Printers specifically) I believe the Government should legislate that these inconsiderate people who put my health at risk by printing pictures of Charlize Theron in Aeon Flux are only allowed to do so outside. They should be unable to do so directly outside the office door as this is a route that we non-printers pass through.

Surely if us smokers are banished to the cold outside, then surely these incosiderate colleagues who put my health at similar risk should be too? It is only fair after all!


When you look at it like that, it is all a tad ridiculous don't you think?

Im going for a cigarette.
