Smokers have rights too

Ummm, I am enjoying this cicarette!
Oh...just a second...I put it in the ashtray.

I want this smoking ban lifted or smokers should pay less tax for being penalised.

We go to a restaurant and are told to go outside to smoke - very well, only I want to pay less then.

Fair?

Smokers do tell non smokers what to do. They tell us we should breathe in their foul smoke. Smokers do bully non smokers when the non smoker is coughing and rasping. Keep ya foul habit in ya own doors. That's the fair answer.

why dont You just leave smokers alone they dont tell you what to do they so just leave them ALONE!!!!!!

Smokers have the right to kill and poison themselves if they wish.

They do not have the right to impose the filthy stinking residue of their foul and and antisocial habit on the rest of us.

Once they realise this and are able to reconcile their use of the drug to which they are addicted to the above guidelines, we will all be happy.

non smokers are always telling smokers what to do they have no right telling them what to to smokersdont tell non smokers what to do so just leave the smokers to do what everthey want non smokers are just acting like bullies

Smokers do have rights and no one can say that they dont.

Smokers do not have rights.
Their obnoxious habit is fine as long as they puff away in their own home.

But they dont want that. They want to make everyone smell and and cough and splutter while they puff away to their (cancer ridden) hearts content!

If the smoker could just smoke in their own home, no harm done (just to themselves), but they wont! Thats why smokers should not have rights!!

At least heroin addicts have the common decency to 'jack up' in private!!

Go on! Hang these signs up in your local pub.

I think its good that they banned smoking but I think that they should lift hunting as I go hunting sometimes and the hounds are so amazing that they shouldnt be killed as it is a waste of animals please help me

Accepting the smoking ban without thinking is accepting the divine right of authority. You are a yesman. Unfortunately in my experience of dealing with others 95% of people are yesmen. It is extremely difficult once authority has pronounced on a view, whether they had any real evidence or justice for that view, to shift or budge people from the point of view that authority was right. The smoking ban is a clear instance of this. People accept Government was right even if it was not. This is sick. The governed play into the hands of those in authority when they do this. Sick.

The truth about banning mobile phones on planes. Look how similar the case is to secondhand smoking and the myth that it causes harm.

As a result of these and other investigations, Boeing has not been able to find a definite correlation between PEDs and the associated reported airplane anomalies.

ABC News 20/20 aired a report in December 2007 trying to get to the bottom of the ban on cell phone use on aircraft. They interviewed one of the authors of the IEEE Spectrum report, but also noted that this study was not designed to actually detect interference, only that cellphones are not switched off sometimes. The report concludes that the primary reason for the ban on cell phone use in flight is that neither the FAA nor the FCC are willing to spend the money to perform conclusive safety tests. They have left this up to the airlines, who do not see any return on investment in paying for such tests. According to the 20/20 website, ABC News consultant and veteran airline pilot John J. Nance states categorically:

There's little reason to worry about cell phones interfering with an airplane's navigational equipment. Nance says an airplane's electronic systems are "all heavily shielded. That means that stray signals cannot get into those systems."

Freddie got it right. The smoking ban in quite the majority of cases is wholly unnecessary. It's like the way they ban the use of mobile telephones on airplanes - because they purportedly interfere with the aircraft's controls: What total and complete nonsense! If there was the slightest chance that a mobile phone would really interfere they would confiscate them before your flew.

There are too many fascists and control freaks running our lives.
