good. about timee.
True. Now you'll get used to the sight of marquee's above pub doors and millions of cigarete doughts on the ground.
Thank God :]
indeed. we had a lectuer on it in college...
all the college teachers already have a plan considering the campus is going smoke free...
at the back of the college is a public footpath where its legal to smoke
Since the teachers smoking room got removed in my school, some teachers go to the pub at break and lunch and smoke there (outside) or some smoke with the students outside the gates... or i know one that does it daily. That teacher's always been weird. He comes in drunk all the time.
I swear this was meant to have happened this summer just gone..
That was in Northern Ireland (I think) and they have removed the smoking rooms at Northampton General Hospital and you can't smoke on site either.Quote:

Bad Canadians :( It's a breach of human rights!
Meh i got no problem with it, it will put more people of smokeing, improveing there own health and those around em "/
About time in my opinion
I walked through my town the other day, and I must have seen at least 5 under ten year olds smoking, they really don't realise the damage they're doing to themselves
Will do more harm than good. Look at U.S. prohibition in the 1920's and 30's [Link]. Drinking didnt stop, but there was underground and illegal businesses and it caused more problems.
This isn't prohibition, I'd love to see them try with ciggies, you watch the organised crime rate in the UK soar.
Good, smoking is disgusting
UNLUCKY ENGLAND!:D
We have it, now you have it:)
about time! shame that my school doestn do anything about the idiots smoking infront of school.
good good good.
Yeah but a large percent of us wanted it.Quote:

Should be eariler imo... I hate having to sit next to people who stink of cigarettes on the bus... and people always spark up when we're at the bus stop right next to me... I mean cant you go and stand at the other end of the stop?
that will be a recorded depressing day then.
Yup please ban smoking in public places, then i might stop too! :)

...Well I know I won't follow it.
Sorry, but i'd like to see the police stop me for smoking in the street..
They have far much more important things to do than stop people smoking in public places, and I deffinataly wont stop.
I don't care, our school is a no smoking site anyway and the only one that cares is the headmaster and a FEW teachers..
Most just kind of shout something so we know their coming and can walk away, and then they don't follow us..
But meh, bring on the smoking ban - It wont work Tony Blair.
