Smoking rights?

Question

have your say at www.smokers-have-rights.com/

Answer 1

My partner and I only smoke when we are out socialising. I'm sick of non smokers complaining bout us standing in pub doorways while we have a cig. It's cos of them we're there. The amount of cig butts on the ground is ridiculous, atleast in the pub butts went to ashtrays.

Answer 2

What the 'intolerants' fail to understand, is that people like them didn't go into pubs. over the hundreds of years that smoking was considered just as normal as drinking alcohol. It is only since women started to frequent pubs. and the Government started to churn out lies regarding passive smoking, that the intolerants have got the upper hand.

How can you socialise when you are surrounded by tut tutters obsessed with controlling other peoples behaviour. Go in a pub that bans smoking, and be miserable with your own kind.

Answer 3

Don't want to sound like a Zealot but the simple answer to the smoking issue is for people just to give it up.

Here in UK anyone can get FREE help and advice from their GP. The National Health Service is running a series of ads on TV with the view of assisting folk to get off the dreaded weed.

I am a former smoker who had been smoking for 50 years and managed with the help of my doctor to give up smoking in only a few weeks.

If people cannot give up smoking then there's nothing we can do for them.

I now find myself able to go out and enjoy life as I never have before. The pubs, restaurants and public enclosed spaces are now all free of tobacco smoke.

Answer 4

If you want to slowly kill yourself by smoking, go right ahead. But what about the rights of the people that you are exposing to the harmful chemicals from smoke. Would you not say that their rights are more important?

Answer 5

A decent and educated smoker does not smoke in the presence of non-smokers: that is common courtesy.
In uk, they had to make it a LAW.
Leads me to think that there are no decent and educated people in uk...

Answer 6

I do not smoke, but I left my comment:

"Smoking rights are important.
My ex-wife, who exercised her smoking rights for years, is dying with lung cancer, and I have a chronic cough that is waiting diagnosis."

Answer 7

Smokers have had a monopoly for years. They have made life for all around them uncomfortable for long enough. The rights of too many people have been trampled on by smokers for too long. It is about time that this was changed. If you want to kill yourself do so out of the range of the rest of us.

Answer 8

Non-smoking rights. It's my turn now. You've had your way far too long. At least I can now go into pubs and restaurants.
