Riannon Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think folks are missing the point here. Due to recommendations by the WHO smoking is already banned from about half the vehicles on our roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarmOKnee Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 How about if there's children in the car? I wouldn't let children smoke in the car either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo77 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Nah, I'd welcome it tomorrow. I'm looking for the day where smoking is restricted to a goldfish bowl sized bubble around the head. Well that's never going to happen is it?!

Bonzo77 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 How about if there's children in the car? If you smoke with children in the car it's child abuse in my opinion. But to have the choice of smoking in your own car, by yourself is going way too far!! How can the BMA suggest such a thing yet still allow schools to feed kids crappy processed, high salt content school meals?! They have got their priorities wrong and their heads up their arses!

Uptowngirl Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Ambitious is the word!! You can't ban smoking, it just wouldn't work. You are turning addicts into criminals and making gangsters rich! I think you are letting your obsession cloud your vision. You don’t need to ban anything. Governments just increases taxes on it, restrict its import and limit places where it can be sold and consumed. They could make it as unattractive to employ smokers as it is to employ old lags and drug addicts. If that is what they wanted to do. It ceases to become attractive even to the lame brains if smoking a few fags is more expensive than running a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penistone999 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think all smokers should be actively encouraged to up their tobacco consumption. Maybe the extra tax revenue would mean we could have lower petrol prices!! What extra tax revenue ?..............I buy my cigs from a woman who live down the road ,and i dont pay any duty on them ............... theres no extra tax duty from me im afraid. £30 a sleeve for cigs.............

You are turning addicts into criminals and making gangsters rich! Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey In the last 25 years or so, tobacco advertising has been banned; Sports sponsorship banned; smoking banned from cinemas, theatres amongst other venues; smoking banned from public transport; smoking banned from workplaces, public buildings. New Zealand seem to be forging the way for others to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
