OK.

So the situation is

- location

- drug A = alcohol

- drug B = nicotine


Previously the situation was that non smokers could have drug A plus
location in selected places provided that they were not affected by
the use of drug B by users of it.

Smokers had location plus drugs A and B


now non smokers have location plus drug A because they are no longer
prevented from entering location because of the use of drug B.

Smokers still have drug A and they still have location.

Really all that has happened is to make the situation more equitable.


Before the smoking ban came in I was seeing the odd pub around that
was no smoking, and many restaurants. They were using it as a
selling point. This is market forces at work.

Indeed


But here's a different thought. We have a major economic problem on
our hands, the Pension Crisis. Smoking is the ideal fix for this.
Smokers pay lots of tax, then dies before they can claim (all) their
pensions. I won't do it, but I'm more than happy for other people to
smoke!


Oh definitely. I haven't said that people should be discouraged
from smoking. In fact, based on this scenario I would encourage it.
However we can have the best of both worlds. They can now pickle
themselves without pickling me.

Smoker will drain the NHS is funds as they will clutter the wards with
smoking related diseases. No one gains with smoking . NO one at all.

Sadly my kill file seems to have been deleted, and your inane posts are
drivelling through.

Actually the reverse is the case. E.g. my mother who is now in erament
care ad has bee for the last two years, ad whose knowedge of aythng at
all s less than yours s on everything put to gether, is a case in point/

£23k a year plus huge amounts of hospital acre. All because she hadn't
the good sense to die quickly of lung cancer.

Its an established fact that the NHS MAKES money out of smokers, and
loses it all to health nuts whose bodies carry on well beyond their
minds. Just like yours. How much is all your mental health care costing
the nation?

I think we should be told.

I you want to be a good socialist, kill yourself NOW.
