Penistone999 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Smokers do not allow this. Should be banned full stop. It is anti social, and even long after a smoker has put a fag out, they stink to high heaven. Often the smokers in "open spaces" are still smoking illegally too, and they don't like being told that they are doing so. It's a disgusting habit that should be illegal in this more enlightened age anyway. Smokers in this country already have more restrictions placed upon us ,than in many many other countries around the world. You non smokers have things pretty much all your own way as it is. Also , how would you know people still smell after putting their cig out ?........... unless you go round smelling people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Also , how would you know people still smell after putting their cig out ?........... unless you go round smelling people Because I get in the lift sometimes with people who've just been out for a fag and they smell like a chemical factory. Having said that I don't agree with the relentless pursuit of them. They harm themselves but they pay lots of tax. It's not like they're stomping kittens or anything is it?

juniee Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 if this is all you have to worry about you must have a good life, so many more things in this world that want fixing and the argument for banning smoking is silly just think of prohibition and no I do not smoke but it does not bother me if other people want to. more concerned about the fumes I breathe in form cars and trams and buses oh and the asbestos that I came into contact with many years ago as this can take up to thirty years to show. anyway happy new year to all you smokers and non smokers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcster Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 As a non smoker, i find the opening poster and supporters very sad. The air has never been cleaner, the number of smokers had droped. Yet the spoilers still want their pound of flesh. Leave the smokers alone, drinkers and drivers too. Without the above groups , you would no doubt be moaning about your increased tax bill. Well said.

Why should smokers get away with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about your mum but you can be near smokers without being in a club, until they banned it in pubs everybody who went in one was subject to passive smoking, they used to allow it on public transport too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
