Smoking Ban, Good Thing Or Bad Idea?
This as we all know comes into legislation tomorrow. How will it affect you?
Opinions welcome.

Excellent idea ........... a better thing would be to take all the smokers out to the Outer Hebrides, plonk them on a barren wind-swept island and let them kill each other 
Scummy, disgusting, dirty, cheap-looking habit .............. yes, I smoked for 30 years - then my brain kicked in

I'm with everyone else. Sick of coming home stinking and feeling uncomfortable due to sensitive eyes. Why should weak-minded addicts have the right to inflict this on me when I do nothing to them ? I also look forward to less litter, as most smokers don't seem to classify their tabs, packets and wrappings as litter. A sensible policy from our government at last !

We have had this for a while now, makes a massive difference in pubs so much better. You can actually see to the other side of the bar 
All the smokers are stuck in crammed little yards out the back of most town pubs

They outnumber the lads by quite a margin ......... stupidity will always fill up the tax collections
We need the chavs and scum to continue smoking, we have no wars to kill them off - lets kill them with **** as they are so thick they don't know what's happening to them

I stopped after 30 years, about 9 years ago now, I felt awful for 2 years 
Now, however, I cannot imagine what I would be like if I had continued (probably dead in all probability) - I certainly would not have been surfing last week, I know that.
GIVE UP - do yourself a big favour!

Now that this pleasure has been taken away for some, what will they want to ban next? They'll be outlawing pubs one day, also why not ban gas guzzling 4x4 sports cars, many without even a cat.
Roll on the day when my shirt doesn't smell of beer and fumes from environment unfriendly cars.
Can't believe some sit there and applaud the nanny state.

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
I would actually ban all cars without CATS and I would fine those who remove them £10,000 - with 9 points on their licence ........... it is killing the planet for the future for the sake of a 'percieved' pleasure now and is utterly selfish!
