Smoking Ban
Somebody's going to start the discussion, so as might as well be me!

I'm happy to support the idea but it's not something that I feel strongly enough about to join public demonstrations or write to my MP. Also, I'd prefer it to come about through national legislation, rather than leaving smokers to check individual rules for each park or public space that they visit.
Your views, please!

I'd happily support a smoking ban in parks or certain public areas but only as national legislation. I'd also support a ban on eating fast food and the consequential littering that occurs in those same areas. However, enforcement in our 'soft' country would have to change to something more robust.
New York was mentioned as already having a smoking ban but I think Bangkok Park in Thailand supersedes it. I was there a few years ago and the ban on smoking was in force there at the time. It was also an offence to eat or drink (other than water) except in certain designated areas, you dare not 'litter' either.

I`m not a smoker and I think this is ridiculous. They want to ban smoking in Trafalgar Sq - have you seen how much traffic goes past there? I wonder which would kill me first - exhaust fumes or the odd whiff of fag smoke? Or maybe the clouds of firework toxins that will be blasting off for almost a month with choke me first. I wonder if they`ll do anything about that?
I am not a smoker but this proposed ban is ridiculous, and so is the talk of some spluttering themselves past crowds of smokers in shop doorways, etc, etc.
I can never ever remember anyone complaining years ago, when they went to the cinema, theatre or pub, but then in those days we had much more freedom and we were not constantly selectively brain washed as we are today, generally by those who pride themselves at protecting the rights of the minorities.
Lets ban drinkers of alcoholic drinks from pubs, so that drinkers of low calorie soft drinks can enjoy their drinking without that foul beer smell one gets in pubs.
Lets ban all fast food outlets, the smell of Doner Kebabs etc disgusts me.
Lets ban the internal combustion engine, I am sure the fumes from these cannot be doing us any good, judging by the pollution haze anyone can see hovering over the sky line of our cities.

Yes AOG you’re quite right, I grew up at the time when cinemas pubs etc where all full of smokers and yes you are quite right we didn’t complain because it was pointless. We got used to is we got on with it. Smokers have always been selfish, just observe how they gas their own kids in the home and car. Their failure to sort themselves out meant that eventually society did it for them so now I find it unimaginable that smoking was allowed in pubs, offices, cinemas etc
No, marje smoking rooms would not work.

No try walking, your buses kick out much more harmful fumes than a couple of ciggies either side of you could ever do.

Gassing their kids?????
This is the type of hysteria we have come to expect from the anti smoking lobby.
Lets ban everyone from public places, who look as if they come from West Africa, just in case they may be carrying Ebola

Let's address this problem first before banning a few smokers from our parks.
