No, it's not "full of them". There's a number of them, yes, but next time you go in, take a look at just how many are smoking at one time. Unless they're dedicate chain smokers, I will lay odds that actually most *aren't*.

No matter how you try and force people to think it, smoking is never going to be unacceptable. **** happens get on with it, if smokers smoke thye know they are practically committing suicide, so what, its their freaking choice.
I'm not trying to "force" anyone to think anything. It is a matter of trying to *educate* them that what they are doing affects *others* as well as them.

If you want to commit suicide by playing Russian Roulette, that's your business and your choice. If you want to do it by using a hand-grenade in a crowded room, that is *not* simply "your business"!

Yes Granted passive smoking is a problem, I dont know of a solution, banning smoking will kill the pub industry and the do gooders will have more victims on their hands.
Do you have any *proof* of this? Or is it just an opinion??
