*Serious topic* Smokers should be banned from BB
 

Smoking ads have been baned since the 70's, yet these people smoke like chimneys. Even smoking in dramas is almost completely banned.

No smokers only on BB should be the rule.

You watch them nd if you'e an ex-smoker, or a non-smoker, you're encouraged to light up.

Ban them!

Its a reality show and smoking is part of reality. you cant stop it or ban it.

I'm glad you aren't in government :wink:

Yes but this is a 'reality' tv show that represents REAL people.

A lot of real people smoke.

No way can you ban smokers! It wouldn't be fair!

Opinions above on board, I still think it should be a condition of getting on BB. It's subliminal advertising.

It should not be allowed.

I actually think all this drama over one packet of fags is actually a really good anti smoking campaign in it's own right! :laugh:

I'm an on-off smoker, and I crave a cigarette watching them.

Ban it, please!

You really expect that to be taken seriously? It's ridiculous.

Lol your joking righT??
A lot of people smoke, so why turn down a amazing hm ust because they
smoke?

omg how silly, if thats the case ban eastenders, corrie etc also, when the cast smoke....jeesshhhh

lets ban asian , gay, lesbian, and ppl of colour also.....

so silly pmsl

Glad you brought those up, Corrie and Eastenders.

How many of the casts of those shows have drink problems, or in Wendy Richards's case, cancer?

As for being a particular race or sexual persuasion, that's not a matter of choice, doesn't encourage people to become gay or black - plainly that's a ridiculous comparison. But I'm glad you mentioned those soaps, they have a lot to answer for.

What has Wendy Richards having breast cancer got to do with it?

As I was saying before the forum stoppe.

Ban smokers on BB.

They always get stroppy and ruin it anyhow.

then it should be the same for alcohol.

She was a heavy smoker, smoked like a chimney on the show, can it be ruled out as a cause?

without smokers, tonights argument would never have happened ;)

That's an equivalent argument, except they don't give them enough drink even to get drunk.

Big Brother is a wonderful advertisement against smoking.

Maybe no bad thing, I wasn't greatly amused by it.

apparently smoking is NOT one of the risk factors....

You jest surely. Anything which promotes smoking, or has "heroes" (in the eyes of fans) smoking, endorses it.

Smokers have the right to smoke, if you ban them, then it's being biased and unfair to them, they aren't telling you to smoke or forcing you too.....

Well it certinly is a risk factor is lots of cancers. If her smoking encouraged others, like say Errol Flynn's, (who was responsible for lots of men smoking, who wanted to emulate him, and he did die of lung cancer) then it should be banned from television.

I disagree, and on that note im going to intake some nicotine.

Well, Hollywood has certainly curtailed smoking. You use to see every leading man and lady smoke. Hardly any more. It's unacceptble.
