And yes, I see where you're coming from with the last comment but it is not done out of selfishness or disregard for my children or husband thank you very much, I was already addicted before I had either.

Its not so much smokers, its doctors calling for the ban, smoking is an easy target, after all they would just be ignored if they called for more effective catalytic converters on all vehicles or even more effective emission control on aircraft, two factors that have been proven to have a greater direct effect on childhood asthma. - Jobs for the boys. |

The taxes on cigarettes would go no where to cover the cost of treating cancer and heart disease so that is I am afraid a smoker in denial of the habit and its consequences.........Smoking is an addiction that can be broken if not for yourself you should not be selfish about the consequences to your wife and children if they have to face the possibility of watching a slow lingering death due to smoking..........Their mental well being is being ignored is it not...!!!!!! |

If it did cost so much more to the state, this labour government would have banned smoking completely well before now. Last edited by Shasown; 25-03-2010 at 11:59 AM. |

Secondly I still beg to differ on your theory about how much tax I've already paid and will continue to pay on the price of cigarettes. Thirdly how dare you accuse me of not caring about my family.

currently tax on cigarettes in Ireland is 61.3% which is €5.21 per pack that I buy, I smoke 1 pack a day over 52 weeks over 15 years, so so far I've paid around €28446

I dont smoke but I am not fascist enough to inflict my wishes on those who want to. I agree with the ban on smoking in enclosed spaces wherever there are or even likely to be non smokers however I fail to see how a ban on smoking in cars where children are transported can be enforced without a complete on smoking in any vehicles. Because then the government are removing a freedom from smokers who would never have kids in the car anyway, what measures are going to be introduced to compensate for this? Smokers only pulling places on all roads? Guaranteed smokers only car parking areas? And you still havent accepted that the only reason the Government doesnt ban it outright is because it brings into Treasury coffers more revenue than it costs. If it created a negative costing to the Health Service the government would have not only a moral duty of care but a fiscal duty to ban it outright, however its a nice little earner. |

I hate you all.

A bus driver started smoking once. There were babies and children on that bus, yet he thought it would be okay for him to light up while we were waiting in a traffic jam. Needless to say, he got an ear full.
