I would say that most smokers are ignorant of non-smokers feelings on the matter.
Why don't smokers keep the Cigarette in their mouth from start to finish? No, they want to hold it between two fingers and let the smoke travel around so us non-smokers have to suffer.

Im not living in England and Im not sure on the specifics of the smoking ban over their but if people want to enjoy a quiet cigarette [like me] then let them. Health risks yes , but its their life. As strange as it sounds , the gradual forbidding of cigarettes may in fact romanticize them to a degree.

The specifics are simple. A total ban of smoking in ALL public places, except prisons and a couple of others, I think?
There are health-risks and all smokers can enjoy smoking outside, while non-smokers can breathe fresh air.
Is that too much to ask?

Its like what John Stuart Mill said , lets do unto ourselves what we want as long as it does not harm anyone else.

One man can say anything he likes. Gordon Brown and his Government have a job to do and blanket ban on smoking will be obeyed or else... £50 - £2,500

And for those complaining about passive smoking , really , their is many , many places you can move to where your not in the company of smoke. And please stop making posts describing your epic battles with the evils of ash smelling clothes on a Saturday night. Its not that bad guys.

You are joking Stu
Smoke gets everywhere, nevermind a smoking section, it doesn't work anymore.
Smokers outside, end of....

If we look at it that way , we should ****ing ban drink because of people getting sick on the streets Im WALKING ON and random scumbags p****d getting stuck into me on while walking home on a Saturday night.
Isint that passivly affecting me?! What does more damage.? Joe #477 outside the bar having a cigarette , or John #777 falling over , getting into fights , and pissing on the dustbins?!

Alcohol does have it's problems and I won't disagree with that and if this debate was about drink, I would also point out the bad side.
But Cigarettes is totally bad and the ban is correct and just.
