Well, it’s being talked about at the moment. My own personal views on the subject, as a non-smoker, are that it should not be.
Although I don’t smoke myself, who is it for me or anyone else for that matter to tell you that you can’t? On the practical side of things smoking injects a rather large sum of money into the country. Granted it will take quite a bit out, but I’d wager it’s not as much as it puts in.
There are some aspects of smoking that I don’t enjoy, the main one being the smokers that smoke in the designated non-smoking areas or intentionally blow their smoke into peoples faces, but this is fairly rare from my experiences.
Smoking is a habit, something that many smokers enjoy and do not want to give up. So why should they have to? Because it is bad for them?
They know the possible medical implications and as adults they should be able to make their own decision. Yes the nicotine in the cigarettes make it addictive, but there are plenty of other, possibly more dangerous drugs that are available and not being considered to be banned.
Alcohol for instance. I have never met a smoker that becomes more aggressive after a cigarette. Yet alcohol, which plays a part in rather a large amount of crime, is considered to be more acceptable.
Caffeine. I don’t know if any of you know anything about true caffeine addicts, but it is truly one of the worst and most health threatening addictions you can have. Heart problems, severe shaking and aggression all play a part.
I could go on, but can’t see the point. What are all your views on this?

Only if you have fillings.
Maybe they should be coated in tinfoil and sugar?

I think cigarettes should be coted in tin foil - it's murder on the teeth.

It's the parents. Or the grandparents. Burn them all.
No wait, then they'd be smoking...
DAMN MY INDECISION
:^)
What could be a good idea, would be a ban on smoking in public places to minimise passive smoking, then introduce a new cheap brand of cigarettes, with no filter and more poison.
Filthy cheapskate smokers won't read the warning ('these cigarettes *will* kill you, and fast'), they'll all die - but through their freedom of choice, and the government can legalise eating cannabis on toast.
We'll get rid of the deadweight without trampling their liberties. The perfect solution!

Then the mother pushing the kiddies pram can beat them with her hand bag. It's a full proof system :D
lol. But what if you're a non-smoking child and a group of "hard" smokin' yobbos walk past and smoke the poor kid out?
Yeh but if you do that to certain people you'll end up geting decked and once again it'll be their bodies taking the punishment:P
And others when you're smoking in their face, don't forget.
I'm a non-smoker and don't really care either way. Smoke if you want, don't if you don't, it's your body to screw up.
It should be banned in public places such as pubs (they stink like crap)
Leave them to smoke.
Put it this way, imagine what would happened if smoking was deemed illegal, it'd become a 'drug' situation. Ciggarettes would be sold on the 'streets' and people would pay a lot to get them. Unfortuantly money doesn't grow on tree's, leading to crime and into the world of harder drugs.
