The goverment seems to treat them almost like Nazi's these days, when infact what they're doing, banning it everyone, stopping people's freedoms, is almost nazism in itself.

Someone should take a stand

I vote Niamh and Vicky.

Look you can Smoke
but take Good care you do not effect other people.

Second hand smoke is bad
stinks as well.

I've said on another thread that there are so many things we do to our health that is worse than smoking. There is more awareness today of the dangers of smoking than at any other time in our history yet we're sicker today than at any other time in human history. You can't blame that on cigarettes.

the bizarre thing is: most of my friends are non smokers - I'm the only one who smokes among us: and all of them say that it's well OTT the grief that smokers get.......... and that's coming from those who don't !!

Okay, I'll tell you what I told my little sister (who also smokes) and say that I don't look down on people who smoke. It's a habit that's not healthy but then again at least 95% of what people eat, drink, or do is unhealthy today.

Yes,of course they have rights, it is true cigarettes are harmful to health but as so many people have pointed out here, so is alcohol and most things people eat really.
Smoking is not illegal in the UK,nor is the purchasing of cigarettes etc, people pay council tax and income tax to have the rights to do all that is legal. Smokers also pay massively higher taxes to the govt when they purchase cigarettes.

Therefore it is wrong to discriminate. In enclosed buildings such as restuarants,theatres, cinemas shopping centres etc, banning smoking is understandable but anywhere else, no way.
Why just cigarette smoking anyway, what about petrol fumes,I feel sick in an enclosed bus station with the fumes in there.

Also while I agree smoking is harmful, so are many things in life and so I say smokers do have rights and should not be looked down on when they smoke in open air public places.

I have never smoked and am not likely to ever to but I have friends who do and it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Get off the fence.

Rude Stinking Smokers are a problem

I am not on any fence at all on this one arista, I do not smoke at all but would stand up for anyone discriminated against because they do.

Rude stinking people are the big problem in the UK not just some of the smoking element.

Glenn. · 05-07-2011, 12:05 PM

Everyone has rights.

Vicky. · 05-07-2011, 07:43 PM

My mum has started getting her cigarettes off the 'baccy man' because of the constant rise in prices. She used to go mental at me for doing that

InOne · 05-07-2011, 07:45 PM

Yeah I might have to do that soon, although my one has vanished

Jords · 05-07-2011, 08:33 PM

Who is the baccy man?

The guy who goes on 'holiday' a lot and sells his tabs and baccy cheap

Smokers are starting to look a bit sad and desperate all huddled together outside buildings puffing away like crazy. Theyre becoming the new crack addicts. I think occasional smoking is ok but some people can't go 30 minutes without a fag. That's pathetic.

And no they shouldn't be able to inflict their smoke on others in enclosed areas. I don't want to inhale it or have it make my clothes stink, thanks. Other than that they can do what they like to their own health. Their choice.

I hate walking past smokers because the smell reminds me of nights out in singapore and makes me miss it like crazy.
I do like the smell of smoke though.
