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

[NekkLe]

Well like you said, they come to a decision and scrap it at the brink of concluding the verdict. That doesn't say much about the government these days :rolleyes:
But banning smoking in public areas should go forth, why should the second hand smoker suffer, give up space for smokers?

Well yeah everytime it does come to government it is scraped when it comes to the final decission. The sooner they completely ban it the better. It should stop as many people getting cancer and other illnesses.

Ofcourse, also its said that second hand smokers suffer as much as the actual smoker, its not doing anyone any good. But the government are going to be slow on the case, afterall it makes them there money, they won't hesitate.

Its also the fact that quite a few MP's smoke or are snooty morons that are keen to keep the tradition of being able to smoke anywhere and people dieing from it.

Quick search on google turned up the following information!

• Every year around 114,000 people in the uk die from smoking
• Passive smoking kills around 30,000 people a year

30,000 people dieing from passive smoking, that is horrible.

Thats dreadful.

So about a quarter of passive smokers die a year, that tells us how bad this is getting.

That proves that the government has to act and do something very quickly. As the site that I went on even said in big bold writing that within 10 years that number could double.

Exactly, and until that verdict is acheived, all the government are doing is sitting back whilst thousands suffer under the power of greed.

This issue needs to be sorted quite quickly. Yea I know there are other things that the government needs to get on with but, this issue has been going on for a while and needs to be sorted.

yet again I had another problem with a smoker last night, was in the casino happily betting at blackjack, and this old guy starts smoking next to me and all the smoke is getting blown right into my face, very unpleasant for me. This is why it needs to be banned, some people do not have the common decency to light up when they are not in a public area where there smoking affects others.
