It is against the law NOT to wear a seatbelt while driving a car here so are you saying that is affecting someones freedom if they didn't want to wear a safely belt?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

You also have to think that if someone wants to smoke at the moment when at work in most cases they already step outside regardless. Some establishments have specially built rooms but at the end of the day why should a business have to pay for something like that anyway?

They don't HAVE to. They choose to.

You could say in really smoky pubs that smokers there are affecting the freedom of non smokers who would like to go there for a drink or something to eat but simply can't be in that smoke healthily.

The non-smokers consciously walk into a smoky pub knowing that there's going to be a smoky environment. They make the conscious decision to do that, and if the pub wants to allow for smokers, who are you, me, or the government to tell them they can't?

Memphis

I feel that this whole thing is a double-edged sword but if it is going to save lives and stop people taking up a completely pointless habbit that can't be bad.

Again, as I've said to already... IT'S CALLED PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. It's not the government's job (or the peoples' job to force regulation to be passed) to prevent people from doing what's harmful to them. It's our job as a community to help our neighbors be informed, but not to the point of having legislation be passed restricting the rights of others.


whoa.
