I would take all this much more seriously if the government at least stopped taking tax from tobacco or ban it completely making it illegal to smoke at all (i mean wouldn't that be the best thing for everyone) instead of making a fortune off smokers and doing their best to make smokers feel like ****. I am a smoker and i find it hilarious that from this government which bangs on about choice this has been imposed on us supposedly for our benefit.

As a smoker and a teetotaller can i just say that alcohol has far more impact on me then smoking ever did i smoke 20 cigs i am still the same person or i am more relaxed same can't be said for alcohol. Also after 20 cigs i am unlikely to cause disruption or harm to others directly but alcohol well i have lost count the amount of times i have nearly had fights because some moron that had drunk too much thought i was looking at him funny.

But for those of you that are enjoying seeing smoking banned what do you think the next target is going to be then us non drinkers will be having a laugh and it will certainly bite more for drinkers then this has to us smokers.

Oh and before someone drags up passive smoking as what i do to others there have always been no smoking establishments for years that non smokers could have gone too but they were always strangely empty which given how many non smokers seem to bang on about it ruining their evening lunch whatever always puzzled me.
