The problem about Pensioners will be solve. They are going to recomend that when they get slightly ill they are sent to that Hospital in Stafford,They will sort the problem out easy.**M**.:o)>

Eddie you have missed the point - your view will not solve the g'ments problem!!!!!! lol

Look, we are supposed to live in a free society. I've no wish to impose my smoking on those who don't choose to smoke. I'd quite happily restrict myself to places where smoking is allowed. All you'd have to do is to choose to stay away.

I'm a sensible adult who's made an adult choice. I'm fully aware of the risks I run. My life, my health, my choice.

Just like every motorist who chooses to drive a car, every sportsman who chooses to risk injury, every un-healthy eater who chooses to buy too many take-aways.

I have no wish to force my choices on you - please afford me the same courtesy.

The government dont't really want smokers to give up. "Smokers taxes" generate a lot of money for them to fritter away. I am all for the ban in restaurants but not in pubs. I have read in the past of smokers being pushed down hospital waiting lists which is unfair. These days smokers know the risks they face and if they choose to continue that is their right.
Agree with Suzian. Lets live and let live.

About to light up first of the day.

i agree about not smoking in restaraunts..or anyplace you eat cafes pubs..

what about the drinkers stinking of booze ..it makes me feel just the same as a smoker stinking of ciggies lol ..

I think, if they brought back smoking in pubs, there'd be less drunkeness,
People who smoke tend to 'nurse' their drink whilst they smoke & ponder!

A friend came up with a good point. He thinks people now use mobile phones in the same way they used a cigarette - he's noticed that when unsure, people reach for their mobile where once they reached for a fag!

.....and in all reality, we don't know the long-term problems mobiles may cause - there's been a rise in brain cancer in Austraila in the past 20 years.

I play Crown Green bowls outdoors.Smoking was banned about eight years ago now.I haven't played so well since,having a smoke used to help me concentrate.
