England banning smoking in public places.

I wonder what would happen if england tried to ban drinking:lol:Film-Guy

Now that is something that wouldn't work anywhere. I think alcohol is just as bas as smoking and I don't associate myself with either. But c'mon, banning drinking. Even I know that'd be impossible (to enforce). It doesn't take much to produce ethanol. Some fruit, water, bread, etc. There's more to it, but either way....

You know, nobody makes you inhale secondhand smoke.

Whining about how you got lung cancer because of people smoking in your favourite bar is like whining about getting AIDS because you had sex with a prostitute.

Not that I condone AIDS or lung cancer, but you sort of knew the risks when you opened the door of the bar and a huge cloud of smoke emanated from the door. Lung cancer is bad and I don't like to see anyone get it, but I'm sorry. I just can't feel sorry for you.

Actually the smokers do make us inhale secondhand smoke. I understand where youre coming from with your whole smoking bar/restaurant argument, that makes sense, but when your walking down the street or just want to have a nice family meal, or even a beer at a bar and there is not a choice like what you have in your area, should you have to suffer and inhale secondhand smoke? Here in New Zealand they have outlawed smoking in public indoor areas only (like bars, restaurants and covered car parks etc), and nobody seems to care. They have compensated in bars by creating covered outdoor areas for smoking so the indoor patrons dont have to inhale smoke.

Your statement about breathing secondhand smoke being like getting AIDS from a hooker is idiotic. Breathing and condoning in illegal sexual acts are as different as chalk and cheese. You need oxygen to live, you dont need sex to live. People shouldnt be forced to breathe secondhand smoke, period.

Eh, dont care about england, but i hate it happening in the US as i find it a contradiction of politicians beliefs. They attack smoking but not drinking? Yet drinking not only causes more bodily harm, but more instances of rape, murder, and car accidents. Yet you still see plenty of advertisements for drinking,a nd there is no "Truth" commercial for alchohol. Hell i bet half of those people are alchoholics anyway. As i've said, all or nothing. Dont pick and choose your drug to make illegal. Tolwan

It's so important that we don't smoke in public because we would not really want to think about the mass quantities of pollution we dump in the air everyday around the globe.

The story is, but the point is for this one.

If public means indoor public places, that's fine, but if I was in the UK and I want to light up outside, they need to leave me alone.

Does this mean you can't light up on your front porch or stoop if you live in the city?  Because when you smoke outside the smoke goes up and away from people who aren't directly next to you.

For real, it's bad enough they tell us what we can and cannot smoke, I'll be damned if they start telling me where I can and cannot smoke.  What's next, they'll enact a policy dictating WHEN you can smoke?  You gotta draw the line somewhere as citizens of a democracy.
