When will the do gooding non smokers stop trying to force their viewpoint on everyone else?

How the feck can someone smoking in their own home possibly affect any of you?Because this is what a total ban would mean.I think that to persist in this is just one group of people trying to force their attitudes onto others.

I'll fight for people to have the freedom to choose in private whether they smoke,eat what they like,worship how they like.How can it possibly affect you under those circumstances?

Like I said originally what ever happened to free will and freedom of choice?
Non smokers be content with the victories you already have.No smoking at work and a ban in public areas all seem very sensible suggestions to me.Anything more than that and you begin to look vindictive.

If it is just a matter that you think that smokers should pull their collective financial weight in regards to the NHS then let's persuade the government to put more of the tobacco revenue into the NHS and into BETTER education about health risks plus get around to truly helping/funding nicotine addicts to give up VOLUNTARILY.

Incog.
