The government realise that smoking is costing the tax payer far too much money so they are gradually working towards a ban imo ,the way they are doing it is slowly to encourage people to give up or not start in the first place ,the later being the prefered option ,as this happens the financial load on the NHS will lessen because less people are suffering from smoking related illness ,eventually so few people will smoke (hopefully) that the loss of revenue will be negligable ,only then would a ban be introduced ,

Many time have an idiot stop dead at a door way to lit up and then blow smoke in my face. Next time I'll punch them in the back of the head.
