Would this country be a much nicer place to live if...............?

Question

The Government stopped persecuting smokers and put it's energies into fighting the drug culture?

Answer 1

I don't understand why people can't just let other people do what they want without as you say persecuting them. I know its not healthy but if I want to do it then I should be able to without being frowned upon or whatever its my choice. So I agree but not completly because I also do drugs :) lol

Answer 2

It doesn't have to put much energy into stopping the smokers. How much money do you think has been spent in stoppiung smoking in public places? Very little compared to the amount of NHS resources saved by the drop in the number of smoking and passive smoking diseases.

3 People a day die from passive smoking in the uk yet people think they have a right to do it in public. Do it in your own home. Drugs are worse as the crime is terrible and you are right in that more money needs to be spent but not from this campaign.

Answer 3

Billions are spent fighting the drug culture, and nicotine IS a drug. Cigarette smoking causes emphysema - there is no "if" anymore. Smoking is on the way out because it IS unhealthy. Its cheaper to make tobacco uneconomical, etc., than it is to treat the diseases caused by it.

Answer 4

i don't smoke but i don't agree with the new laws and i do think there should be more done to solve the drug problem. I think the problem is that all these politicians dont live in the areas where drug addicts are a problem.

Answer 5

Not just the Smoker`s the Motorists too

Answer 6

The north of england is seen friendlier than the south. despite if, that rule applies greater often than not to city areas. i'm a northerner residing interior the agricultural south of england. all of us is fairly friendly. I assume you could desire to stay everywhere interior the united kingdom nation-state and discover a similar. to discover jobs, you could desire to have a lifelike sized city interior sight. I propose you attempt someplace close to Bournemouth. there is amazing Dorset nation-state. Bournemouth is a outstanding yet particularly super city. It additionally has a suitable sea coast.

Answer 7

i think the government should do both - both are harmful. i personally am glad that smoking will be banned in public, breathing in other people's smoke is horrible. but i think the drugs problem should be sorted as well, as it is also a major problem.

Answer 8

Yes,I say don't complain about a problem if your not willing to change it.They really do need to aproach the problem a more accurate and effective way.

Answer 9

Yes - but...
Perhaps drugs are the government's next target for a hefty stealth tax.....

Answer 10

That's your opinion, but I disagree. Shouldn't they be putting their energies into getting out of Iraq?
