....like america tryed to ban alcohol and instead handed it to the criminals to sell and make money out of it?! will never happen.
Just wanted to quote (from a non smoker!) Simon Clark - Director, Freedom Organisation for the Right to Enjoy Smoking Tobacco (Forest)
"I think the smoking ban is going to have relatively little impact on public health.
"People say that 11,000 non-smokers die every year in the UK from passive smoking, and 600 of those are people who are allegedly exposed to smoke in the workplace.
"But these figures are estimates, calculations, they are not based on any hard evidence.
"If passive smoking is a risk to people's health, and it's a massive if, it's far more likely to be a risk in the home than in a well-ventilated bar or restaurant.
"And after the ban more people are going to smoke at home, so the ban could potentially make things worse.
"Of course it will help some people who wish to cut down or quit, but the reality is that very few people will.
"I don't smoke, but I'm overweight, and if I was asked, 'Do you want to lose weight?' of course I'd say yes, but that doesn't mean I'm actually going to do anything about it.
"Smokers are the same, they will often say, 'Yes I'd like to cut down a bit,' but the reality is the vast majority of them don't.
"And in Ireland, smoking rates are now exactly the same as they were before the ban there.
"So the idea that millions of people are going to give up smoking is fantasy."
Well its good for people to see both sides of the arguement...
