Indeed, so you go to the pubs that CHOOSE to ban smoking, and I'll go to the pub that CHOOSES not to. Then we're both happy.

Re: smoking and the pub

Thinking back to when I used to smoke, it recently dawned on me just how disrespectful of my friends health I was when I chose to smoke in front of them, obviously this particular fact still escapes some smokers.

Should we ban driving in public places?

Are you trying to compare the stupidity of smoking to someone's need to travel?

We should ban any kind of driving that poses a serious risk to health in public places, yes ... oh hang on, we already did, it's called the Road Traffic Act.

Re: smoking and the pub

How many harmful substances are emitted into the air that everyone breathes by cars in built up areas. What affect is this having on health? Surely this is a more pertinant issue than smoking in pubs.

My guess is that it's easier to have a go at smokers, than the powerful car lobby.

And this is being worked on with the congestion charge, cleaner fuels and campaigns to get people to use public transport and bikes etc.

And I'd say the need to keep the country moving is somewhat more important to maintain than the need for someone to light up.

Re: smoking and the pub

Wow, I was reading some of the earlier parts of the thread, and thinking to myself how selfish bifta's attitude was, nice to see you've changed your ways (y)

Shame theres so many that havn't though. Comparing the danger of cars and the dangers of smoking is one of the worst analogys I have come across. There is no necessity to smoke.

I have always found the mentality of 'if you dont like the smoke, go somewhere else' really annoying.

Smoking is a choice you made, you don't care about your health, but others do, so stop being so selfish and let other people go out and socialise without inhaling lungfuls of smoke.

Agree with you, but highlights the fact to me that cars cause proportionately more damage in terms of health, much of which is unseen and of course most people, smokers or non-smokers, drive. Is smoking in pubs such a serious issue as this when comparisons are made to the net health effect on everybody, that cars cause.

Many car trips are certainly not nercessary.
