No, they can just do little things to make it look like they're doing something about the big cause of death and expense. and then try and make these little things enforceable with a fine which makes them money on top of the money they already make from it.

it wouldn't be too bad if they were to share the fine money out to the non smokers as a way of compensense.

smoking isnt banned because of taxes gained from it.

logically it should be banned since other drugs at same levels of risk are banned.

the reason people oppose smokers is it affects people around them.

It is not banned because it is not yet politically possible do it. If tax revenues were the reason, then governments of all shades would not have been actively seeking to make it more and more difficult to smoke for the last 30 years or more.

The number of smokers in the UK is far too large for them all to be criminalized overnight. However make no mistake, we're moving towards a situation where it is very, very tightly regulated. I can't yet for see when it might be banned outright, but 10 years ago who could have forseen it being banned in all enclosed public spaces, including pubs?

But I'm sure they sit down and discuss it. and probably come up with a smoker will smoke no matter what. just like a motorist pays the price of petrol no matter what. and there will always be new smokers to take the place of the quitters.

by the time it does come to where it may have been banned. peoples attitudes towards a dictatorship government would be stronger anyway. and they wouldn't allow it.

Alcohol next followed by coffee and tea.All drugs,all addictive and bad for us.

Finally chocolate and sugar as well as sugar type derivatives as being addictive and bad for us.
Then red meat etc..

It would be more to the point if everyone got back to minding their own business and look after themselves and stop worrying what others are up to.What we need is a little less interference from the state.

Ah, smoking is not good for you, and it's been deemed that anything not good for you is bad; hence, illegal. Alcohol, caffeine, contact sports, meat…

<snip>

…bad language, chocolate, gasoline, uneducational toys and anything spicy. Abortion is also illegal, but then again so is pregnancy if you don't have a licence.
