Imposing what ideologies?

 

I think you are going a little over the top here.

As I have said the majority want it, that is democracy.

Democracy is far removed from fascism.

 

smokers have had to put up with the smokers blowing smoke into our lungs for far too long, now the wind has changed and all of us, smokers and non smokers will benefit.

 

This thread had a positive start with many smokers feeling that this new law will give motivation to quit, the only detractors being yourself and mrteabag who has made some extreme posts saying he will do as he pleases and to hell with anyone else.

I don't know about Ideologies but he certainly has no qualms about imposing his fag smoke on anyone.

smokers have had enough of you non smokers tuting when we light up i hope the taxes do go up and you struggle and moan cause ill be the first on here saying not you again then laughing my head off and trust me i will and i will still be blowing smoke in public or cant you breathe it in while your stood in street :huh: :huh: :roll:

thats a bit of a contradiction. you claim the majority are against it so its democracy. when i say the majority in my mythical pub want to smoke you dont respond. there you go again when you say this thread started positive. why because they agreed with you! and who are you to claim that smokers will benefit, they dont need you to tell them whats good for them. its political. the anti smoking lot dont like it so they make it illegal, they stink more than any amount of smouldering fags.

i know 4 landlords that say smoke and if the fascists come in he will say iasked them to stop and they refused hence they pass the blame over to me which i would expect in return for them taking the risk

then i get a fine and refuse to pay it

return to the pub say thanks and light up again

would people like you be happy if someone came up and stopped you doing something you like NO so dont preach

mikey so doesnt smoke he was giving examples he's is ok with walking in a pub with people smoking

and like he says more people will stop smoking over this and taxes will rise because the tax from smoking will fall then people like you will come out of wood work moaning cause you cant afford to go out for a drink

im killing myself by smoking my choice

dont stand near me you wont breathe it in

 

Do you think that enforcement officers have not studied the reactions of hard liners like yourself from New York, Dublin Scotland and Wales?

 

Do you really think that after so much time and thought has been put into the application of the law and the practicalities of enforcement that the enforcers will be as easy to fool as you say?

If you do you are in for a shock.

 

I am not preaching.

What are you on ... If someone tried to stop me from doing something that I liked? Well if it was an illegal activity and they had the legal powers to stop me what do you think I would do? What do most law abiding citizens do?

 

Fom July 1st smoking in a public place will be illegal you do so at the risk

of fines.

 

Landlords will get warned at first but will get fined £2000 for each offence.

The offence being: allowing smoking in their pub.

The smokers will eventually not be welcome by any landlord

wrong mrs goody two shoes i think you will find that a good local pub doing a roaring trade will take the fine on the chin and say thats a little bit of a loss for all the money they take pro's and cons love

and no doubt you will be the first pointing the finger when the guys walk in

its him there you people make me sick

when the taxes go up and a few years down line you cant afford things and think back you help cause it so then you can moan at your poor self instead of anyone else

if you dont like smoking live with it or move away

o and by the way the product i smoke is not illegal to buy there for it isnt illegal to smoke and it isnt illegal to smoke in a public place such as town centre so i hope plenty of people blow smoke in your face

consider yourself a fascist :rant:

OK I will try to respond to your 'mythical pub'

 

1. Let them all smoke all day long in your mythical pub. My self I prefer real

ale.

2. No one agreed with me I was not going to make any real posting on here

except for a flippant comment agreeing with a comical post from

Slimsid2000.

3. 'Who am I to claim that smokers will benefit' Well all the medical evidence

proves beyond any doubt that smoking is bad for your health, and if

you smoke in front of your children it will not only be bad for their

health there and then but will set a bad example and ensure that the

ciggy pushers /companies make millions for ever more by you encouraging

the young to ruin their lungs, complexions ability to enjoy sports to the

max.

4. You say it is political the anti smoking brigade ... absolute nonsense

The tobbacco companies have been paying political lobbyist for

years. The politics was to keep the masses on the weed to keep the

wealthy ciggy barons wealthy.

5. It has been made illegal to promote better health

 

What on earh is wrong with that?
