Who thinks the smoking ban is a good idea?
Answer:
I think it is!
What annoys me is when smokers quote their human rights. Yes, they have a right to do what they wish to their own bodies, but I say "Please do not do the same to me when I choose not to pollute my lungs with cigarette smoke". After all, non-smokers have human rights too.
I am a non smoker myself, but I think they are taking it just a little 2 far, the country won't get every1 to stop smoking, it would most probably just cause more anti social behaviour.
I must admit, I do like not having to clean ashtrays - it is a horrible smelly job.
i agree! i hate the smell of smoke and smokers dont understand that they just dont harm themselves, they harm and could kill other people. i had asma when i was little because of that. luckliy, i dont anymore. so i hope that the smoking ban can go all over the world one day! do you??
i dont it so stupid pubs r going 2 lose their money i used 2 b a smoker but not animore
AYE!
meeeeeeee
i do
It seems to stop the French coming here.
I think that any ban, for any reason, imposed by the government is a bad idea, and ahould not be tolerated by the public. This is just one more example of dictatorial control of the people by our government, and one ban just leads to more.
Smoking is no doubt bad for not only the smoker, but others that may be in the area, and although I smoked for many years, I would absolutely advise against it. It is my opinion that if the government was serious about smoking, they would make it illegal to manufacture and sell the product, but we all know that will never happen because that would be killing a good "cash cow".
My youngest brother died in January with copd due to smoking, and I suffer lung damage also, along with calcified asbestos. but I stll am opposed to government control.
I think it is a great thing. As the strain that smokers are putting on our health care systems, and even the effects of second hand smoke.
I prefer to go to places where I don't come home and smell like and ashtray. I can't wait until January 2009 when Oregon will finally be smoke free unless that is the purpose of the establishment ei Cigar Bars and that is the way it should be. Let all the smokers inhale each others smoke, but don't make me do it.
I think it's a good idea, although I'm not sure it will make smokers realize it harms others.
Smokers don't seem to care about what smoking does to themselves -- so it only follows, then, that they don't think about how it harms others either.

yes yes YES the best thing since sliced bread. I am asthmatic and it is great to be able to breath the fresh air I was stripped of through no fault of my own. Smokers don't think. They should have more consideration for others. If they want to smoke fine, that is up to them. But please DON'T starve me of the oxygen I so badly need.
yes 89.5 people smoke it affects the enviriment and global warming and infects people lung who are not used to the rash aroma 27.9 peoples lungs get affected when im near someone that is smokin i run off i dont want cancer no offense i think its a good thing and the population of people should go down to 30%
Of course it is!! It's for the sake of everyones health. Have people stopped going to the cinema or flying on planes since it was banned there? Of course not.
It's just the smokers bleating about it because their filthy habit is finally being shown up for the gross muck that it is.
Its good its been banned i will save some money myself not that i am a smoker but i wont have to send me suit the dry cleaners every wk because of them smelly people
Last winter at work when at the yard waiting to go out on the job I had to choose between being cold or being warm and breathing in everyone Else's smoke. This winter the filthy smokers will now have to be cold instead. Best thing that's ever happened!!!
Hi .. Am a smoker but i still think the ban is good idea.. smoking dose harm others ..
You do understand that the way you just worded that question makes you sound like you are about 8, don't you? In answer to your question though...Not really. I think it will make the smokers hate people for stopping them from doing something.
i think its a good idea im a smoker.
i dont smoke in the house tho cuz i have 2 kids and have wanted 2 give up 4 4ever but my down fall is gettin pissed and every1 smokin round me.
now i have brought my self some patches and ive gone all day so fingers crossed i can keep it up so its worked for me. just think how many others have had the same idea!!
Yes it will be nice to sit in a Smoke free Bar,also it will stop the smell of Cannabis.(may even stop it on Buses)
If it cuts down on youngsters Smoking its a good thing.
When Smokers learn to go without for an hour or so they will see how much they will save.
It will reduce the amount they Smoke in a day (it may be tough to stop)but it will encourage them to quit.
Specially when the Weather is WET/COLD.
The Irish got used to it so get used to it.
Just smell your clothes after an evening out from now on.
Yes, secondhand smoke does harm other people. It is a disgusting habit too, I agree. I am a smoker who quit for 3 years but then started smoking again, and I have been thinking about this from as many angles as possible. We live in a society of double standards, deception and GREED. Behind every thing that is bad for us is the money factor. The media just seem to play mind games with people. In front of a lot of movies they have that ad with hundreds of people dying in the streets, is that deterring smokers from smoking; how could it when after that ad, the movie has people smoking away in them??. Then you have the pictures of diseased lungs and people with tubes in their throats to breath, that doesnt help. So you can see how addictive this is. I once saw a triple bypass patient chain smoking after her surgery. Then you could smoke in the hospitals, in the offices etcetera, so maybe if smoking was banned it would help. but then did it help with prohibition? Good question for thought, question is banning smoking and selling tobacco, it is a contradiction. Would it be enough to make people stop smoking would depend on the psychology of the person. Most people are just too selfish to think of the whole, and no ban or rule can help that.
Me!
I do.
Yeeeeeeeesssssssssss!!!!
I have never smoked and I work in a pub. At least my clothes will be clean now. The next thing is a ban on binge drinking
LOL
I can now walk around loads of places indoors without having to hold my breath as i walk by smokers and also i am more open to working in pubs and other places i wouldnt even thought about working now its in effect, best bit of news for me in ages
It's a bad idea,i'm all for people having a choice.I'm a non smoker myself.but there should be pubs for smokers too.Taking peoples rights away is always a bad thing.it's a matter of choice.I got to places where people smoke and i've never come home "stinking like an ashtray" Odd that it's ex-smokers who always complain about that?
i think the smoking ban should be banned.
how many people do you get who end up in hospitals after smoking on friday night, not half as many as those injured through excessive drinking.
why should we be dictated to by the Government? they never listen to us
I don't understand why the government has imposed it, it won't make one bit of difference to the drain on the NHS. Even if you ban smoking, it just means those that possibly would have died through smoking related illnesses will now just live longer and put even more strain on the NHS, plus all that tax revenue is lost! Okay that was a little tounge and cheek.
Thing is I think it should be the choice of the people that own pubs etc, after all it's them that will suffer the greatest effect. Plus does anyonw know how the law has changed the rules around smoking areas in airports?
Forgive me for being cynical, but if smoking was so harmfull, wouldnt the goverment ban it. Also perhaps one of you could tell me of an accident and emergency unit that has ever admitted anyone for binge smoking or being incapable of driving through tobacco intoxication.
Yea it is a good idea as a smoker myself it may help me to quit, and I agree it does harm other people.
Now that Ive got that off my chest, lets ban all alcohol for that does as much damage as smoking and also harms others with these drink drive idiots.
