The smoking ban was one of the more sensible pieces of government legislation in recent years and long overdue. To inflict cancer causing chemicals on other people ought to be illegal in any enlightened society.

And as for your comparison with walking along Anlaby Road, last time I checked Anlaby Road wasn't an enclosed space.

I take it you don't drive then?

Or light BBQ's ?

Burn garden rubbish?

Not in enclosed spaces.



Not in enclosed spaces.



Not at all.

The point of anti-smoking legislation was to ban it in [ienclosed spaces[/i. If I drove my car into your living room and left the engine running, you'd feel a little aggrieved. If I walked into a pub with my BBQ and proceeded to cook myself a pound of sausages and a couple of steaks, you'd be upset.

The fact is, you can't compare the effects of passive smoking in enclosed spaces with walking down a road with cars on it. Unless you have your mouth taped to one of the exhausts.

But passive smoking doesn't exist.

Check the relative risk on the Health and Safety Exec website.

hahahahahahahaha, yes and we didnt land on the moon, and 9/11 was done by george bush

Correct.

And you lot are gullible idiots and are being duped by a puritanical dictatorship of a government.

Tara!

8 The Government’s White Paper, Smoking Kills1 points out that “passive smoking” (inhaling other people’s tobacco smoke) poses a risk to health. For example, living with a smoker increases the chance that you will develop cancer or ischaemic heart disease (disease that reduces the supply of blood to the heart muscles, increasing the risk of a heart attack). Although there is emerging evidence that exposure to tobacco smoke in the workplace may of itself be sufficient to give rise to ill health we cannot, at the present time, be certain of the size or extent of the risk. However, we do know that, for some people, exposure to tobacco smoke can make a pre-existing health problem, like asthma or chronic bronchitis, worse.
