Yeah ban it altogether and then we can see what other lifestyle choice they will be going after because it is blind stupidity to think if they ban smoking they will stop there. I gave up the ciggies but went back on them and while i understand that everyone has the right to a smoke free place it wouldn't have been hard to reach a voluntary agreement that meant each group could have something.

Banning anything is not the answer oh yes it sounds good and even might look good short term but in the end it always backfires and causes more trouble then it's worth. If we want a smoke free nation anytime soon then education is the way to do it and not the preachy sort we have now. I do find it funny that some people on here talk about people getting along and making concesions when it comes to other nations in conflict and then when it comes to issues like this want draconian measures to ensure their own viewpoint wins out in this country quite interesting.

As to the point of it being the job of the government to interfere in lifestyle choices no it isn't and whenever they do it never works out well. I would prefer my government to look after the state side of things and get that right rather then have them tell me what i can or cannot eat, drink or smoke as that is a personal choice and while they are making vcast sums of money from those activities i find it highly hypocritical of them to criticise people for doing it.

If they really want to totally ban smoking then stop taking money from it before you do and then maybe i will believe them not going to happen anytime soon though.
