Should Smoking be banned - Saxperience

I dont know about you but i hate smoke.

I dont like the smell. I dont like how it clings to your clothes.

Oh, and its cancerous.

I dont think i should have to leave a pub or a restuarant just because someone wants to smoke.

Its like a someone biting their nails except slowing killing themselves and harming other around them.

PLease. Discuss.

i hate people smoking in enclosed spaces but at the end of the day its their choice.

xclairex · 21st March 2007, 14:27

Im going to disagree as im a smoker, fair enough i disagree about smoking in pubs as some people dont like it.

and you can get cancer whether you smoke or not

milesg · 21st March 2007, 14:28

agree if people want to smoke i think that they should do it outside cos it can cause ppl around them cancer and i dont see how that is fair.

Emma_ZS · 21st March 2007, 14:28

i think it should be banned inside public places but not outside

Baz · 21st March 2007, 14:28

hate it when i pop into work for 10 minutes, walk out and go home and i fucking stink of smoke, hate it

Tupps · 21st March 2007, 14:29

Smoking in pubs is bad.....BUT most of my mates smoke and none of them would go out if they couldn't smoke!

Anyway...ban it i have fifa now

Certi · 21st March 2007, 14:29

Do you mean smoking in general or smoking in pubs etc?

We have a smoking ban up here so there's no smoking in restaurants, pubs etc. and it's great.

Thats a bit like saying, Oh well you'll probably die of cancer.
Here. Play with this Asbestos.

Its proven to be dangerous. The goverment should do their bit to keep its workforce and tax payers healthy. Not their pockets

Should smoking be banned altogether? No it shouldnt, its a great tax source for the country and its a human right to chose it really.

Should it be banned in public places were it can harm other non smokers, yes it should be. Ideally smokers would have an area sealed from non smokers were they can have a pint and a smoke etc... however thats not viable in probably 90% of cases.

best thing as certifiable said is theres a ban in scotland for smoking in public places, its great being able to go home after a night out and not stinking of smoke if your a non smoker

MaRiO89 · 21st March 2007, 14:33

I dont think it should be banned entirely, but in public places like pubs etc yes it should.. My mum smokes and its horrible!!

AdamW · 21st March 2007, 14:34

Im all for the Ban in April.......As when I went to Dublin the other weekend it was great not stinking of fags when got in. Just smelt of sick.....pow

Smokers will kick up a fuss when it comes in but I dont care I dont smoke........what I did find though is that when there is no smoke smell you can smell B.O. alot more in clubs off some smelly cunt in the corner (tigradan)

djrem · 21st March 2007, 14:34

it should be banned everwhere.
It will stop stupid mothers who continue to smoke during and after pregnancy:

Sudden infant death syndrome

Main article: Sudden infant death syndrome

According to the U.S. Surgeon General’s Report (Chapter 5; pages 180-194), secondhand smoke is connected to SIDS. Infants who die from SIDS tend to have higher concentrations of nicotine and cotinine (a biological marker for secondhand smoke exposure) in their lungs than those who die from other causes. Infants exposed to secondhand smoke after birth are also at a greater risk of SIDS.

not likely, im just stating a point that not only smokers get cancer

Emma_ZS · 21st March 2007, 14:35

i have a friend who smoked during and after pregnancy and she had no problems at all she had a perfectly healthy girl

babers · 21st March 2007, 14:36

think if it was banned it would help me give up and loads of other ppl, but its very hard to when your in a pub or club with smokers

craig180^p · 21st March 2007, 14:36

It's irrelevant weather you think it should be banned or not because from the 1st of July smoking will be banned in all enclosed public places!

The thing I don't like at the moment is when you're walking through town or past someone that's smoking and you get a lung full!

Ban it altogether for me..... Or just leave it as it is. We're all going to die at some point.
