    Ban it everywhere except in your own home.

    Your national insurance contributions come nowhere near covering the possible years of illness it will bring.

    It’s antisocial, it stinks, it costs millions every year and in my opinion the best way to enforce a total ban would be to shoot anyone caught smoking, its going to kill you anyway so it might as well be now.

    Also, smoking only pubs is a non starter as the staff there could sue if they contract any sort of cancer, halth problems whatever for being forced to endure smoky conditions.

    So in short – TOTAL BAN !

    You may as well ban drink as well then cos that causes health problems, and can be antisocial.

    Very constructive – how long did it take you to come up with that?
    Is that an attempt to validate your argument for smoking or just a personal attack on my opinions that you asked for when you started this thread?

    OOH sorry, didnt realise the thread name had been changed to “What is your views on a total smoking ban?, oh and if you disagree we’ll ban beer too!”

    and seeing as though the latest thing appears to be to call anyone who disagrees with you after a genocidal dictator, Gixerchic will now be known as Pol Pot

    LOL! Was just pointing out that alcohol does have negative effects on health and can be antisocial…which are the reasons you gave for banning smoking, so its relevant…[;)]

    No what I’m saying it shouldn’t be all onesided, it is not Democratic, that is dictatorship, which is what I am against, and for people who work in smoking pubs, will be smokers too! And yes Gixerchic, Alchohol does cost the taxpayer thousands of pounds, through health care and policing and the man who goes back to his wife and beats her senseless, and the drunkards who get violent and shout abuse etc. Should they ban Alchohol as well?

    “the best way to enforce a total ban would be to shoot anyone caught smoking”

    If thats your personal opinion then you have to expect people to object to it..the same way as you are able to object to smoking.

    Whilst i agree that alcohol does cause health problems, the other reasons you give such as the wife getting a slap, violent drunks etc are not a valid argument as alcohol does not cause this behaviour. If it did everyone who got drunk would do it…

    But you cannot argue against the 100% success rate it would have……
