i dont care if i cant smoke the cigs in certain places, just as long as i can smoke.

god help us?

Yes, in some stores they already banged up the age limit..

Asda used to sell them to 16's but now only 18's.

this is not anything related to the smoking in public spaces ban though, the limit is going to be 18s by 2008.

also dont smoke at bus stops, as its a public building apparently.

Yeh I think they are actually increasing the age of smoking to 18.

I don't smoke and hate it with a vengeance and therefore love the smoking ban. However, I think it's pretty ironic how a 16 year old can go get married, have a house and kids but can't legally smoke...

Spain = 18, no problem for me I don't smoke.

hate how smokers are complaining that they are going to have to go stand outside a bar in the middle of winter to have a ***.. get over it, you're only gunna be outside for 2min.

they just have to get on with it.

Smokers moaning about it annoys me because it's a personal decision. They don't have to smoke, but if they must, they have to smoke outside.

Not by 08 i belive, but still goto a *** house? Or get patches? The goverment are going to be providing them for free.

Also i agree that people complain they need to go outside its skank, they would rather stay inside in the warm effecting other peoples health more than there own then go outside get slightly cold and wet and only effect there health. self centerd or what?

They are increasing the age to 18 in October actually I think

Edit:

It is illegal to sell tobacco to anyone under the age of 16. [The Children and Young Persons (Protection from Tobacco) Act 1908] The age is set to rise to 18 from the 1st October 2007.

also dont smoke at bus stops, as its a public building apparently.
