Can't ban people being stupid enough to smoke in the first place...let's see, it'll destroy your health and you have to pay for that! I can't even imagine the cost on health care systems universally after they get sick!!!
yea...a universal ban seems unfair to smokers...but how fair is it that i have to choke on second hand smoke everytime i'm around a smoker? you have a right to want to die from those cancer sticks...but i have a right to NOT want to die with you! so pick another way of ending your life that won't take anyone else with you! =p so...YAY FOR BANNING SMOKERS!!!!
Smokers are also humans. I agree certain places to ban. But in public? Your just too selfish. Don't just think of the anger when u breathe in sec hand smoke or smokers blowing into you face. Think of the big picture. You can call me a smoker and you can call me a not.
Seriously, I Think that banning things makes people want to do them even more. because forbidden things are always a tempetation. So therefore, nothing should be banned in the sense of underage drinking and drugs.
No banning of it except for like sweden where they resontly banned it in public places like resturants and bar. I am a smoker but sometimes even I think that it could get a bit much nonsens "smoking" in some places like bars just because people was drunk and wanted to emty 1 pack an hour... so instead I can take the going outside to take a smoke. By that you also will just meet the hardcore smokers in the icecoald winter outside places whe you are taking a smoke... Never liked the sissyass partysmokers
I'm an ex-smoker for several years now. I agree there should be a ban in certain public places where smoke will interfere with non-smokers, However, I hate all this anti-smoking campaign being shoved down my throat. Some non-smokers are really up their own a** and just have to get in your face accusing you of poluting the air and destroying their health... Talk about civil liberties!
From 2007, new legislation will come in the UK to prohibit smoking in public places. It is good as it will protect those who don't smoke from the effects of smoking. Those who want to have to go to a seperate room set aside for them .
BAN'EM ALL BAN'EM! why should non smokers even have to tolerate even a shred of second hand smoke? do it on ur own do it on ur property. if inhaling second hand smoke from public places even takes away 5 mins of my life during its whole course of a lifetime then ban'em. I could use that moment to say goodbye to people! most people dont see the big picture = NON SMOKERS = INNOCENT BY STANDERS tell me what else other then smoking can a stranger affect a persons life even for the smallest moment without them even looking at you. i hate the smell of smoke and trust me i can smell it when people are smoking a few feet away and tell me why are we the ones that should even think about moving because u are smoking around us. i bet alot of hypocrites smoke at home too, they do it outside or in a room which they think is the most ventilated yet they are pro smoking in public places. you choose to ruin your health not us
I agree that there should be seperate places for smokers and non-smokers. It's then a choice of an individual to smoke or not.
passive smoking is also very bad to others and now i go to very few places without smelling smoke even school. i m one for it should be banned =p
smoking should not be ban, even though I'm not a smoker, it's people choice it's the constitution of man kind. Freedom for all, and for whatever we choose to do, we should know our consequences already.
banning smoking isn't the way to go...like many have said, people will still smoke regardless, the best way is to educate people on the hazards of smoking so that less people in the future would smoke.
ban smoking i think is should be banned in public places only. I think that if you choose to smoke then do it with other smokers or by yourself at your home and not around non smokers
bah, if smokers keep smoking they'll die eventually >.> it's just balancing the world from over population *coughs* But next june or was it july? They are banning public smoking in my country woohoo!!
I don't care. I don't see anything wrong with smoking. I don't like it but it don't bother me too. But the die in peace on is funny. No smoker didn't mean you will die in peace.
See this is what I'm talking about. The anti-smoking campaign attacks! Look, I agree there should be places where non-smokers should be free to go about their business without harmful passive smoke killing them. I respect your opinion. Honestly, I do. However, do you have to shout it out and shove your anti-smoking campaign down our throats! Everyone else here is giving their opinion, pro-banning or otherwise, but why do you feel the need to type in big letters? Don't you feel a bit obnoxious? You say smokers kill you? Fine, lets ban smokers from certain areas but stop being all high and mighty about it!!!! -nono
its ez, get the government oto stop all production of ciggerettes. Oh wait... they won't do that, the gov't wants to reap all the extra taxes they get from selling ciggerettes. Good luck getting it banned. I'm a non-smoker and its not very likely smoking will be banned, in Canada anyways.
