If I handed a bag round asking for a £1 to save a life of someone who had cancer for eg, you'd probably put one in. It wouldn't really cost you much (unless you were very poor of course). So how about actually allowing an element of cost into your life with respect to smoking and save a life?
In reference to children and passive smoking mentioned before, did you realise that 17000 children under the age of 5 are to hospital every year because of the effects of passive smoking?
Smokers, stop being so selfish and think of the health of the nation and not your "right" to smoke in a public enclosed space!

As a smoker I endorse all that Salu says.
Also I feel it is criminal for anyone to smoke in the presence of any under 16 year old as I have previously pointed out. Where is freedom of choice there ?? Does your baby go outside in his baby walker ??
