We live in E.U. not in Sparta, so why such an austere ban? Hey, we don't live in Totalitarianism or Absolutism but in Democracy!
Cigarettes can kills but what about the air you breath? Isn't it much more polluant? Ok, its not nice to smell what others people smoke or being a passive smoker but i don't think it needs a ban, because its up to you if you smoke or not! That is democracy!
There are far more worst dangers than smoking like drugs abuse, child abuse, abortion, hospital waiting lists, serious crimes and so on... and ban smokers is more important?
Well we really should be more understanding about this, it would be a more balanced society. Ah! And it seems to me that it'd affect the Economy too: not only bars or pubs, but what about Tourism? Tourism brings a lot of money to U.K.
Spooky all this! So much about to concern and....: smoking ban! bye
