I disagree. One of the main points being made on this thread by those opposing a ban is that there are many other dangerous substances out there such as alcohol, drugs, and car exhaust fumes. But that is completely beside the point, and how on earth is it an argument against protecting us from smoking? This is why I said about the Aids cure thing - it's like saying 'well what is the point of focusing on reducing the dangers caused by one thing and not on others?'

But why single out smoking when it is proven that all these other things affect people that have no choice.
whereas non-smokers have a choice.
and to use your anology it's like saying we can cure Aids, Cancer, Hepatitis, Ebola, glandular fever and Bird flu.
But that would be too expensive at this time so we'll pick an easy target and cure the common cold. Only they can't cure the cold all they can do is hand out lemsips.
