That is a complete lie and whoever said that is a fool, heroin is far more addictive and dangerous! Usually it takes only the first try in most people to get addicted it whereas 2 cigarettes (on average) a person usually smokes to become addicted.

Not to mention that heroin is far harder to quit and the withdrawal symptoms have led to people committing suicide due to the immense pain. Also, do you even realise how much more dangerous heroin is? You chance your life with every fix you take, you never know the potency of the mixture and not to mention the additives which are added to heroin to make a 1kg supply of Smack magically turn into 3kg. Its white as pure and even pre-processed china white (usually 90%) but the thing you actually get delt is usually a brown or pale yellow colour. They add brick dust, rat poison, cement / plaster powder and to think people usually inject this stuff into their veins.

Have you ever heard of an over-dose of tobacco? Heroin is so addictive people turn to other serious crimes in order to pay for their habit.

Cannabis in its self is still just as bad (as tobacco) to smoke especially with the point made about the cillia hairs in your throat, cannabis burns hotter than tobacco so what chance has your lungs got to keep debris out? Yeah I have had my fair share of cannabis in my time but I can actually feel the difference of smoking it compared to tobacco I feel much worse. For several days after I am as scatty as can be and I cant remember where I put my wallet or keys which I had in my hand 2 mins ago i will do silly things like start day dreaming whilst doing something crucial such as when I am filling the car up with petrol.

Here here! Exactly. Owned ;]

Anyway... Has anyone watched that fast food thing where all he eats is mc donalds for a month, that harmed him more then smoking would have. So should fast food be banned? The smell of mac donalds makes me nausius yet people still eat it in the street etc...
If smoking was to be banned then why shouldn't fast food be?

ISn't talking about fast food going way of topic :s

Anyway!
The government has been talking about banning smoking for some time now, and each time it comes to making the final decission it has been left as they cannot decide. Well should they do a vote to see how many of the public want it banning? I would have thought that most of the public would say you to ban it.

[YellowParasol]

Yep it should be banned.. I also don't wanna die from breathing in other people's Smoke (Passive Smoke)

[Catchetat]

BUT SMOKERS should be given at least some spaces of smoking cuz they have the rights to do that
but the government can limit their space even MORE

[RLY-CRAIG?]

No, what im saying is, all these people who say smoking should be banned because its harmful. Well fast food harms you more, if they ban smoking, why shouldn't they ban fast food. Would be easier, people dont really get addicted to fast food... what i am saying is if everything that harmed us was banned life would be boring, we would have no choices to make really.

Smoking should be banned in most public places, but to give smokers a chance I agree with others that there should be a designated spot where smokers can do their thing. But then again the smokers could agrue that they have been singled out and that this is not fair.

Wouldn't it be a good thing if smokers felt that they were being singled out, I think so. If there being segregated from the public so's they can have a smoke, let them, they'll soon realise that there habbit is useless and they'll follow the direction of giving up.
I think thats a good idea, you either kill yourself smoking or live life in many better ways without smoking.

Yea I suppose making them stand out would make them feel bad and could make them stop smoking. But there also has to be a bit of leway to what they can do.
