Re Smoking Ban?

Question

I think It's Hypocritical to say that you agree with a complete Smoking ban in Pubs if the very person who makes such a remark Drives a Car and then goes on to say they suffer from other ppl's smoke and go on about a clean enviroment. Carbon Monoxide is far more Toxic than Passive Smoking. Try locking yourself in a Garage with a Car Engine running you will Die!.The Same can't be said if you did that with a Garage full of Smokers. So think on all you Hypocrits. Look at the Pollution you inflict on ppl when you turn the key and drive off before you sit in judgemnet of others. Much better if the Government Introduced Big Extractor Fans in Pubs n Bars.And have you thought of the effect it will have on you're night out down the local pub. If Local pub Takings go down which they will Imho then the Publican will not pay for you're nights Entertainment so you can all sit there bored, but hey who cares because you Breath clean air right. That is until you Drive off and Pollute the Neighbourhood

Answer 1

it's a health issue. not an environmental one. second hand smoke is DANGEROUS in closed spaces for the people who aren't even smoking!

i haven't even seen smoking staged as an environmental issue. YES, they use the word "environment," but usually with the word "indoor" in front of it! lol

Answer 2

One thing at a time! You have a point, and we can keep on voting for politicians who will press for car emissions to be radically cut, and for research to be funded to develop new, cleaner fuels. But given the way society runs these days, we can't just cut out car use altogether, overnight, can we? Whereas we CAN cut out smoking indoors in public places, without having any adverse effect on anything (except maybe some multinationals and their shareholders, who feed off other people's addictions.) Even the smokers will benefit along with rest of us, from the sweeter air inside pubs etc when smoking in them is banned, because no amount of extraction ever really gets rid of the fumes.

A lot has been said about smoking being OK out-of-doors. In fact, there's something about cigarette smoke that catches your throat and eyes even outside - and I don't suffer from asthma. So please can we have No Smoking areas outside! At least until smoking eventually drops off, when smokers begin to appreciate sweeter air again and realise what they have been missing. By-the-way: I put a question on here as to whether people would go to pubs MORE when the smoking ban starts. And the answer was generally yes.

Answer 3

Well paying for the extra fans will cost- electricity bills will go up, not generally efficient simply for the removal of death smoke.
The new policy is a great thing for non smokers, to be able to go to clubs and leave without the smell of smoke is gonna be great, its about time.
A car has its benifits it moves you somewhere, so the toxins are a sorta give and take policy,..
HOWEVER the cigerette smoke cannot take you to the supermarket and back, your simplly paying for your own death with NO benifits.
The ban is great i hate sitting at a table with people blowing smoke in my face, its annoying and the affects of smoke to the user are also discusting, having to deal /look at People that smoke is not my idea of fun, bad teeth, grey circles, poor skin come on if the smoking ban causes you to smoke less you will feel 100x better..
use it as an opportunity to save your own life and get over it.
SMOKERS do nothing for society, take up somthing less damaging to your self like food! (within moderation!)

Answer 4

Smoking bans are ways for the govt to control the massive amounts of retards in this country. Smoking is a huge mass of the govt income. Basically when its banned other states will pick up those dollars while your taxes go up to pay for the billions not coming in. The sad thing is all the anti smoking lies have no science foundation. Fact is the route of anti smoking science was founded in Nazi Germany. Anyone with a brain can tell you smoking is no big deal only sheep and ******* facist nazis will tell you otherwise.

Answer 5

all the environmental stuff is hypocritical. IF global warming is the threat they say it is why do the politicians and actors -Gore, Pelosi, Kerry, Travolta, etc fly around in private luxury planes that cost $22,000. an hour in fuel to tell us to conserve on the $22.00 a day we MIGHT use in energy?
The smoking ban isn't right private places such as bars should be allowed to decide if they would make more money allowing smoking or if they want to be family oriented without smoking. The government should not be in our private lives the way they are!

Answer 6

Whoa.
Chill out/ infact time out.
I smoked for 15 years and gave up 2 years ago.
Im 35 and i can say it was the best thing i ever did.
I have more energy now, which in turn lead to new hobies and im healthy.
Im can't say i agree with all pubs but i for one can't wait.
But hey its a good thing in the long run.
I cound'nt care less if people want to smoke its there choice.
I used to. But i suppot the bill because i don't smoke.

Answer 7

Hadn't thought of it that way before... you actually make quite a good point!

Although people will argue that the pollution is less hazardous as it's outside - whereas lots of smoke indoors seems to be more 'concentrated'.

I smoke and I'm not loving the ban. But there's nothing we can do and I can see the benefits so I'm just going to have to get on with it. Maybe it will encourage me to cut down once summer is over.

Answer 8

Yes undoubtedly they will , as only the stupid people who voted these people in will not be allowed, as for the rule of law the more laws this government pass the more people rebel, people don't like being told what to do all the time and this will be apparent at the next election, if the conservatives promise to repeal these laws, probably starting with the hunting ban.

Answer 9

Ok, before I say anything else just let me tell you that I agree wholeheartedly with what you are saying. So here goes the nasty bit...

Answer 10

It's not legal to run a car inside of an enclosed unventilated building either, because it can kill people.

Banning smoking inside of public buildings has nothing at all to do with outdoor pollution, it has only to do with the health of the people inside.

I live in Ohio, where we have a smoking ban in places like restaurants and bars, and it's a great thing.

Answer 11

just because you don't have a car does not mean your right to make me smoke or keep me out of a certain place...you can go and breath fresh air any time you like .....roll on the ban the sooner the better.....i pay taxes to keep you alive when your wheezing through lack of oxygen and i can't get an appoint at doc because your there coughing and feeling sorry for yourself ...HAVE ANOTHER *** pump another £5.00 of your dole money into a packet of roll your own bakky...if you knew what stench hangs about your person that we have to endure you might think twice about that silly activity
