Should All Non-smokers Be Given Lessons In Tolerance?

Answer 1

Non smokers are going to live for ever. Its made me sick that smokers have been victimised this way, yes it is doing us harm but so does just about anything, sunbathing,cycling to work,eating burnt toast, having sex. Banning it from public places such as pubs where people had an option weather to enter or not was just plane stupid.
Those preaching non smokers deserve what they get next, they have encouraged the government in the "ban it for your own good policy". Soon anything that could "harm" you at all will be banned, and yes that does mean chick peas (associated with cancer) you flip-flop wearing bunch of do-gooders.
All you ever had to do was walk away,dimwits.

Answer 2

No, but some smokers should be taught a lesson in good manners. I used to smoke and remember the black looks I used to get from the Nons. I know not everyone is tolerant but it might help if smokers tried to consider others when they light up. Such as when someone is eating or if in the company of anyone with a chest complaint or in a non smokers house. (some examples) All I'm saying is its a two way street!

Answer 3

I don't know. I am a former smoker, and as a non smoker, I am perfectly tolerant. If the smoke bothers me, I just leave the room, and stay away. The company I was laid off from last June, had separate break rooms..one for smokers and one for non smokers, and the non smokers did not have to go into the smoking break room if the smoke bothered them. *sm*

Answer 4

I am a smoker. I don't mind giving in to a ban on smoking in certain areas. I understand that it isn't good for children, some people have adverse affects when around smokers, so I don't mind being considerate of them. However, I think that a total ban except in your home or car & that car cannot have children sitting in it, is going a bit far! I didn't mind not smoking while in the office, I could go outside on my break & during lunch to smoke. However, when they made me stand in the rain & snow, I resented that. Restaurants that had gone to expense to put in seperate rooms with good ventilation systems, still weren't good enough, I resented that. When all bars went smoke free, even when most of their patrons were smokers, I resented that. I don't go to bars, I don't drink but, I still resented that because even though this law was passed the non-smokers didn't go to those bars!
Now my government is trying to put an extra tax on each pack of cigarettes to pay for providing health care for the uninsured, I resent that, immensely. That should be a tax for all people to help pay, not just the smokers in this country!

Answer 5

Not all non smokers,merely the ones who continue to *****,moan and whine about it.We can't smoke in the pub now.Did that make the non smokers happy?No!They still complain.Does this make me intolerant of non smokers?Hard to tell,but one thing is certain.Since the prohibition of smoking in public places I have noticed one very important fact.A great number of non smokers appear to have very poor personal hygiene!You don't like the smell of smoke,I in turn find the stench coming from some of you quite overpowering.I'll make a deal with you,you can ***** as much as you like about me smoking if the unwashed members of your numbers take a f***ing bath!Don't talk about second hand smoke either.If there was even an ounce of truth to that,by the same logic petrol pump attendents should wear respirators.Benzene=carcinogenic.Join the dots here.Look it up if you have to.Thats my rant over with and boy did it feel good!Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Answer 6

straightforward answer: by using fact smoking is silly and could kill you. the only reason that's criminal is by way of the fact the government can administration it and tax it. different drugs are unlawful by using fact the government can't administration them and as a result can't tax them. Your wellness is beside the point to them. yet I digress, some non-people who smoke provide people who smoke a annoying time by using 2nd hand smoke and thank you to the undeniable fact that they might't cope with it if somebody would not care approximately their very very own wellness. sure that's a stress on the NHS yet while the government fairly cared, they could make tobacco unlawful. of direction, they gained't try this however. they could lose too lots funds.

Answer 7

Not all of them. I personally have no problem with people smoking in bars; I mean, you're drinking poison, so a little second hand is seemingly the least of your worries. Oh, and then there's that whole thing where second hand smoke isn't as bad for you as avid non-smokers claim.

You shouldn't be allowed to smoke in an enclosed space with children present, but I don't see why people take issue with people smoking outside.

Answer 8

All smokers should be given lessons in the HORRIFIC health risks of smoking.

Smokers are a drain on our resources.

Answer 9

No. Because the smokers do not ever ask it it is ok to light up in mixed company and inflict the non smoker with their noxious fumes whether they like it or not.

Answer 10

I'm a non (ex) smoker. Why are you assuming that I'm intolerant when it comes to smokers? Tolerance doesn't mean agreement. Just because I think smoking is a stupid thing to do doesn't mean I am intolerant.
