i don't see a ban happening in nevada for a long time. Casino owners would throw shit if they *had* to make their places smoke-free. It makes people step away from the machines and tables.

I'm sure banning the hunting of elephants put a few ivory traders out of business, but that's progress for you.

bit melodramatic, no?

Maybe. It was the only comparison I could think of...

consider this can of worms officially opened...

worms come in plastic containers that can be reused for food

The scientific evidence for illness caused by second hand smoke is sketchy at best and far from the dead [sic] cert the government are claiming.
What really pisses me off about this is our government are more than willing to continue collecting tax from smokers (80% tax on a pack of cigs) on a product they're essentially saying is so dangerous that you can't use it yet they won't just totally outlaw smoking on health grounds.

None of you even fucking live here!
Why couldn't we ban non-smokers? Pubs are for smoking and drinking, and if you dont like that, dont fucking go in one. I dont like cars, other peoples children, angry mobs... I can avoid all of them if I please. I dont stand in the middle of the fucking road dodging cars whining about the fact I might die if I get hit - I dont stand in the middle of the fucking road! The upper-middle classes running this government dont have a clue about the simple pleasures in life because they've got fucking fast cars, bubbly, fad diets, and all manner luxury to distract them from them hellish reality of existence. Ban these assholes from their own stupidity, and ban them from our god-damn pubs. Wankers.

I'll tell you what's next, baning BEER in pubs, because violent, drunk idiots are bad for your health. I give it 20 years. Quote me.
I dont even smoke anymore, but how anyone can roll over and have the government hold their dick like this is just beyond all reason.

i kind of agree with moth. if you don't like it don't go. i'm a non-smoker so won't visit smoke filled pubs 1. because i'm anti-social and 2. it's cheaper to get pissed at home with cheap chav cider from the offy.

The scots love to smoke!

smoking was banned on the trains years ago but people still light up - you're still going to get drinkers doing the same.

(Feb 15 06, 01:03)Some haughty bitch who never drank in your local for over 20 years will turn up just to make sure you're not having too much fun and that the wind's blowing south-east to the door. Half these people on the telly today expressing their joy probably dont even go in pubs because it's so terribly lower class...
