It's funny how you idiots want freedoms unless it's something that you don't like. Hypocritical much? If you don't like what someone does... tough shit. Unless people harm others, they should be able to do whatever the fuck they please. I know the US and UK are different, but I still feel that people should have the right to do what they want with their bodies and wherever they want so as long as it's permitted there by the owners. If a company wants to allows smokers to smoke in their building, who should stop them? Certainly not the government.

Get off of your high horses and realize that just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be allowed. Afterall, think about what would happen if someone who disagreed with you had their way about some of your favorite activities? What if alcohol was banned like it was here during the 1920s? Alcohol is bad for the body, and drunks are nasty, so it'd be a good thing for the government to ban it, right? Wrong. STFU or GTFO.

Once again it is nice to see your acceptance for something different j_ball. I'm not sure if you understood that this concept was tested on a much smaller scale before it branched out. Scotland may not be a really small place but even so the reaction of the general public was positive. At the end of the day they have tried many different ways to warm people of the dangers of smoking for decades now and it has come to little or no affect. As it stands now before the smoking ban it surprises me that people smoke if you know the costs of the habbit. Let us say that someone smokes about 20 cigarettes a day, this will cost them about £5.50 every day. When you look at the tax on those products you already see that they are very overpriced which I personally see as one method of the Government putting people off. I agree with the ban in public places such as bars and restaurants as it really is horrible for a non smoker to be breathing in the smoke and also to eat food around smoke. I think banning it in public work places is a step too far as people are often in high stress situations where it will make a bit of a difference. There is no reason for people to smoke so why should others have to put up with people damaging their health and sometimes yours for no purpose.
