Ok as for Roy Castle a lot of people have come out and said they remember him smoking at least in the sixties and my own grandfather told me when he was watching Roy Castle in a club in the sixties he did smoke so i am not so sure about that one. I am not doubting second hand smoke is damaging i am not yet convinced it is as bad as some make out otherwise we would have had so many non smoker's dying of smoking related cancers that it would be beyond doubt and we havn't.

It is a freedom of choice and one we have allowed a government to take away from a lot of people in this country lets not pretend were talking about a small number of selfish people here i smoke but do so considerately as do many of the people i know. Smoking around children is a no no and most responsible smoker's don't do it so what were talking about here is legislation for the idiot selfish minority the sort that need warnings that hot coffe may scold if spilled on you and won't abide by any legislation anyway.

It's another attack in the name of health to stop adults doing something they enjoy or wish to do and as i said if this was happening on alcohol half the people on here saying it's ok wouldn't be so happy but don't worry alcohol's time is coming.
