Nope, i'll stop smoking when i bloody well feel like it, not when some politician whose pandering to a small but mouthy minority tells me to.
Its just another erosion of our freedom, what next? making farting in public illegal because some whinger doesn't like the smell?

Firstly, there is no evidence that secondary cigarette smoke killed anyone. This is a fact. No evidence at all. Keep bearing that in mind as you read the rest.
However, some people find cigarette smoke unpleasant. If that is a good enough reason for a ban, then perhaps we can see similar bans on other unpleasant substances, such as flowers. I suffer from hayfever, and it p*sses me off greatly to have some simpering idiot thrusting the sexual organs of a vegetable up my nose on a crowded bus or train, especially as I am not allowed to smoke.
So maybe it will lead to a ban on flower stalls in station concourses, and I will then - and only then - be secretly pleased.
Now start adding your own lists of things that could be banned following this valuable precedent.

I am a off and on smoker but never smoked in a restaurant except in Greece or Amsterdam!! Its ok with me now, I just order take out food and let the owners pay their waiters or bartenders. Most true all time smokers have moved their busines to out of town places to eat now as seen in the newspapers.
Actually am like one of the above answers about it just being another freedom taken. Yes I know about health issues but they go to their bar parties and smoke (have been to them) then next day and go pass the bans...figure that one. I get severe headache from strong perfumes....or any fumes..but I don't complain for some woman to move from me for she is making me quiet ill....I think its all genetics anyway as studies will show.

I'm an occasional smoker. When I don't smoke I find other people fumes quite disturbing and understanding both needs, of smokers and no-smokers, I reckon the ban is the most intelligent move of recent years. Think how cosy the smokers corner is gonna be when they meet outside pub or restaurants. It reminds me of my previous job in Canary Wharf...

Yes I was, when I got this job that I so wanted, they made the building a NO SMOKING area, and I had to make some choices, and I do not like being told what to do or not do!
But 14 years on, I am glad that I chose my job over smoking, I feel less like a social leper, healthier, richer and wiser!
Don't you just hate a smug born again fresh air breather!!!!

I'm glad of ban, should have been enforced years ago but government doesn't want to rock the ban on losing the mass of money gain through it..............
