*DEBATE* Should public smoking be banned? Winner = Klock

[Chaz]

Yes it should be, eating your dinner in a public restaraunt really puts you off! its not nice smelling eather, it should be banned FULL STOP

If you smoke your killing yourself...easy as that........don't start

[.:Subarusti:.]

yes, although i dont smoke i think it would be a great way to get people to quit, it most be hard for someone whos quitting walking about seeing people smoking and enjoying it!

[Baving]

Yea I agree, by stopping smoking it should stop people from getting the habit to smoke, but does this mean that they might turn towards drugs or other addictive substances.

[Dupion]

In some places yes but most places no.

[JoeComins]

You mean drugs lik Cannabis?

Cannabis has never killed anyone directly. Its only bad for you when you smoke it with tobacco, as tobacco contains more and worse things than the roads and your domestic cupboard ith your cleaning products.

Tobacco should be made a class A drug, as its more dangerous and more addictive than heroin etc. And Cannabis should be make legal!

Yes it should be smoking. I work in a bar, and there is nothing more annoying than being surrounded by people who smoke. I can't wait till the law comes into force banning it in public places!

I myself am a smoker, personally, i think that the way everything is at the moment is pretty good, There are smoking and non-smoking sections in most resturants. You can't smoke in shops, most work places, school etc...
But, one thing i do not like is people walking round smoking, You see people barging there way through a busy street puffing away, for starters i think this looks common, it also causes problems with second hand smoke etc, to stop this i think they should create things called "Smoking shelters" Anybody who has been to Gatwick airport may have noticed the little bubble like smoking section in the middle, well yes, i think they should have them in busy towns, parks, etc.
Also, i think that all night clubs and pubs etc need to have seperate smoking and non smoking sections. Okay im rambeling.
Anyway, thats my view. 33

Having a smoking and a non smoking section does is f all! The smoke still floats around..it's not like there is a wee invisable boundary and then it stops before it crosses it!

[Bef]

If doors are shut then that should be okay, it works in most restraunts i know off! Some people just seem to look for things to fight, i don't understand why the goverment is so worried with smoking and opening pubs 24 hours when theres all these serious problems with Iraq that are still not resolved, all this violence in schools.
If smoking was to be banned 100% then that would cause an outrage!
