Smoking Ban - Is it right? - [Closes 13/08/07]

[FAQz]

Yes i belive that the smoking ban is definately a good thing because i can now walk into a local pub with my dad or whatever and not have to step outside every fifteen minutes just for a breath of fresh air.
Although there is a down side to the ban obviously, there always is, people that smoke are now limited to places that they can do so and this can also be a good thing because it may help some people to quit because if they carry on they wont be able to spend time with their friends and family when they are in an enclosed public place.
I would also imagine that this ban has sparked off quite a few arguments and i would have thought that a lot of smokers would be trying to smoke in an enclsed public space anyway and then they would have been told offv and they would have resisted and goodness knows what chaos has happened over it. Overall i believe that the smoking ban has more pros than cons (goods than bads) and im happy that it has been put into place and despite the protest i want it to stay inplace for the rest of my life as it will make my kids lives better as they will be able to gpo into any enclosed public space and not have to step outside every fifteen minutes to get away from the dreaded and horriblely disgusting smell of the tobacco and nicottine of cigarrettes and their fumes.

Although there is also a down side to it. Just walking around swindon now we go past every pub and just see people out there with a cigarette in there gob. Also all the cigarette butts all over the floor. But over all i think its a good thing as FAQz said to walk in a pub and not keep going outside for air as i'm asthmatic.

Of course i think it is a good idea, well, the best idea the goverment has ever had... (Look up Worlds stupidest laws on google) but it really doesn't stop people smoking.
However, I have seen so many people smokin in public places its ridiculous. It is getting us nowhere. :eusa_wall

I think its gonna start a slippery slope though, soon there will be restrictions on where you are allowed to consume alcohol andthings like that

there already is...

it will give me bare jokez when all you little "zomg smoking is evil" 12 year olds get hooked in 2 or 3 years. srsly, everyone accuses smokers of being ignorant and everything, when all you people stereotype them and criticise them. hypocritical much?

[Sentrax]

Yes the smoking ban is right in my opinion, but they're still allowed to smoke in the street or down the high street or whatever, so I still get it blown in my face all the time.
That annoys me so much.
