Smoking Ban in central park NYC from May 28th
 

This was debated on RT Alyona Show

The Rights of Non Smokers are to be Protected


Parks are for Non Smokers soon in NYC.


Fair move

Good. Smoking is disgusting.

Inhaling cigarette smoke is no worse than inhaling car smoke.

-does not approve-

Smokers stink and make others stink with their smoke. Smoking also causes asthma and lung, neck, throat and mouth cancer.

Exhaust fumes do not.

/Argument

Very True.

Duh :pat:

Just another case of people having their freedom erroded and supported by people who are absolutely clueless as demonstrated above.
(just for the record i dont smoke)

Smokers are charming. :lovedup:

/Judas

I love how they make out its all about health.

No dears...its so you LOOK bothered about peoples health. If you were actually bothered, you would just stop selling cigarettes. But they give you too much $$$ to do that dont they :wink:

Doesnt affect me, but if they start putting bans on outside places in england, not a chance I'm listening to them.

I was stating the obvious to make my argument more effective. :bored:

Yeah smokers can be nice but generally its a disgusting addiction. Why someone would willingly inhale thousands of harmful chemicals on a daily basis like that is something I will never get. :/

he was saying 'duh' because they, um...do.

this is absolutely ****ing ridiculous. I am so bored of non-smokers getting hysterical about this exaggerated health risk as if a tuft of smoke is going to suddenly comatise you. We get it, you think you're better than smokers. I know who I'd rather spend time with :thumbs:

:worship:

lol why u mad

I smoke and I have no problem with these sorts of ordinances.

I was just saying what I think. Go ahead smoke if you want to just don't expect me to be all rosy and happy about it.

On second thought though, outlawing smoking in the whole of Central Park is kinda stupid tbh. :/

Because they done some quick math in their head and realized that a few decades of continually doing something that gives them pleasure was worth the relatively little in comparison years you are knocking off your life?

I mean ... why do you eat processed foods, refined sugar and - I'm guessing - the odd take away? They do absoloutely nothing for you and make you feel horrible. Their also full of harmful chemicals you ingest on a daily basis. I quit that crap at the same time as I quit fags and eating natural fruit and veg all the time has made me feel noticeably mentally better than what quitting the fags has done.

The irony of this being in New York is hysterical. Walking through Time Square is like sucking in a Benson. Central Park is a massive, massive place where it's quite easy to have a cigarette without chocking others to death around you. This is a silly move.

Fags are crap though. The most gradually destructive drug you can possibly do and it doesn't even **** you up.

Wait, 2.5 miles long park of open air...and smoking there will somehow cause damage to peoples health? I think its big enough somehow to avoid smokers

Yet in the crowded streets there will be dozens of smokers packed into the crowds...makes sense! :B

I'm sorry I just think cigarettes are more of a detriment to a person's health than the odd processed meal or takeaway. My brother's been smoking for about ten years? And its already aged him, stained his teeth and given him a terrible cough. All a takeaway/processed meal will do to you is make you fat.

I better shutup now anyway because me getting militant about being healthy is so hypocritical its unreal. :laugh:

Ridiculous :bored:

They're gonna start doing **** like that here too, they even were on about banning it in pub gardens at one point.

:laugh3:

Of course smoking is more damaging to physical health in the long run but if you think all bad food does is make you fat then ... fookin hell.

Luckily laws like this are made by adults, people who can taste their own mortality and not youngsters who think they will live forever.

No its about Good Health
for us Non Smokers.


Deal With It.

No
but do not Puff it down my Lungs.


Thats the Central Point Here , dude.

Your comment is real sense.

Also a totally open bus shelter near me, only with a roof,no sides and just the back part of it has a sign saying smoking is not allowed in this shelter, but take 2 steps out of the shelter and then people can smoke,really stupid.

I don't smoke but if people want to then I have no objection to them doing so as long as they blow the smoke away from my face.
I know when I am in Scotland and walking round the glens I love having someone who smokes with me, keeps the midges away for sure.

Arrant nonsense. Its not 1984 Big Brother. Your simplistic view illustrates both a lack of knowledge on business and politics.

LOL. OK whatever.
