Sorry if I seem a bit strong in my opinions but we are all sometimes guilty of that aren't we Nor?
I just worry that smokers are not given all the help that THEY need to give up.It is a chemical addiction and an outright ban is not the way to get them to become unaddicted.However I have seen gradually over time how they have been hounded in the workplace and now in public places.I just feel that when they are at home in private they shouldn't be victimised further.
What we do in the privacy of our homes should be our own business.How many other activities could be banned for the good of society as a whole?Where would it end?
I haven't forgotten the story of a man who having got a super new job at a wonderful firm that had a firm no smoking policy confessing to someone at the place that he was hoping that the no smoking rule would give him the necessary push to finally give up.That woman was the boss's wife and the wonderful new job was no longer on offer to him.
He hadn't even been smoking on the premises but he lost the job.
Incog.
