Smoking should be banned in the UK

[Cock Of The North]

Good luck with the tax hike!

Don't care ....... another £100 a week in tax to get rid of the stench :-D

Drink in moderation as well, Im saving your life again and saving you money

Live until a hundred and be board to tears doing it!

In florida a few years back their was an advert about funerals and the bloke said "people should smoke more because then i can afford my luxury villa in miami" and it was a serious advert as well.

Never agreed with a post more than this.

Smokers are disgusting, selfish thick people who don't have any idea how much they stink.

The smell is enough to make decent people feel sick.

It should be illegal because it smells? New Labour nanny state-ism at it's worst.

Id rather live to 100 and have my marbles than live with an oxygen machine in my house and lose limbs.

Once they've knacked smoking the pressure groups can focus 100% on booze.

It's unhealthy you know. Anti-social as well. Costs the NHS a lot.

Careful what you wish for.

I would start with cars....tax them off the road. They are unhealthy for people and the environment. The oil companies are screwing people, the insurance companies are screwing people and the government are screwing people with their duties.
What is needed is an intergrated public transport system.

Your observation about booze is also spot on.

I'm a big boy now, but thanks anyway

its all about vaping now man, not had a tab in 3 weeks and it feels pretty damn good

Its unhealthy, its a waste of money, its unsociable, its not fashionable and servers no real purpose regardless of what smokers say about I need one cause Im stressed out.

Ban it now anywhere in the UK and save millions of lives and use the money saved to help the older folks who we should be looking after

You ban tobacco sales and you might as well ban caffiene and alcohol.....

Then once banned you can solve the issue of what to tax.

Compulsory 5 a day vegetable eating as well I assume. You sound like my missus.

I agree with all of your reasoning, but it shouldn't be banned.

People shouldn't be told what to do with their own bodies.


As long as you don't affect others, you should be free to do or take whatever you like.

Utilitarian fascistic nonsense.

Why not ban all cars or alcohol, it will result in a similar reduction in fatalities and income to the treasury.

 

[clyde]

if a complete tab ban came in we'd end up paying about £4 a litre for petrol to cover the lost revenue, it'll never happen.

Government get far more money from tax on cigarettes than it costs to treat smoking related illnesses. Ban it for me but would you bitch when the massive hike in taxes etc etc goes up to cover lost revenue????

 

[The Bandit]

I see that some of the anti smoking fascists are out in force.

Ban this. Ban that. Ban the other.

If you want to be told what to do fuck off and join the army. If you want the right to choose how to live your life, whilst doing no harm to any other fucker, you should be able to do that.

They hoy out millions of tons of carcinogens and greenhouse gases. Why is driving more socially acceptable than smoking?

[Horden Mackem]

Im not against smoking. Personally i couldnt care less what other people do.... But with the cost and the damage it does, I just dont see the point at all
