Please don't assume what I think. I don't wish to share my cigarette
smoke with anyone apart from other smokers.

I am happy to find a smoker that agrees it is wrong to smoke anywhere
the public has access to or where there are any children like
streets, shops, houses, etc.

"anywhere the public has access to". Would that be the smoking public or
the non smoking public? 25% of the UK population enjoy a perfectly legal
activity.

That would be the public. You said you didn't want to share your pollution
with others.. changed your mind now?
Typical self centered smoker.. "I'm alright, sod everyone else".


Think about it. If we had reasonable legislation instead of punitive
legislation, we could have specific smoking & non smoking venues.
Therefore 25% of the public could smoke in areas that 25% of the
population has access to.

Think about it.. any excuse to inflict your habit on others.. not a bit like
you were claiming a post or two ago.


"streets"? Are you seriously suggesting second hand smoke is a problem in
the open air? Or are smokers responsible for global warming?

Yes smoking on streets does inflict your **** on others or are you a blind
handyman?


I see your train of thought. You are suggesting that second hand smoke in
the open air is a serious threat to the health of small children &
possibly fluffy bunnies.

It stinks.. that is enough without its health effects.

At what range? Can smokers injure the health of small children & fluffy
bunnies at 10 yards? 100yards? A mile?

Do I care, its a public space are you suggesting we reserve some of it for
smokers to practice their drug taking in? And put a 100m exclusion zone
around it too. Funny enough that's what smoking shelters are but do smokers
use them.. no its to far to walk 20 feet from the door. Do smokers walk
about polluting everywhere they walk.. you bet they do.


"shops"? Shops are perfectly entitled to apply smoking bans if they want
to. Who smokes in shops anyway?

Smokers! You can't blame nonsmokers for it no matter how hard you try.


"houses"? Surely people can do what they like in their own houses? Or
would you like to outlaw that as well?

Only in the presence of kids or objectors.

Fascist.

It would be you that wants to inflict your problem on others.


When they came for the Jews and the blacks, I turned away
When they came for the writers and the thinkers and the radicals and the
protesters, I turned away
When they came for the gays, and the minorities, and the utopians, and the
dancers, I turned away
And when they came for me, I turned around and around, and there was
nobody left...

In the case of smokers I am the one that is coming for you and I would be
happy to find nobody left.

Now we now that none of what you said about being reasonable was true and
that you are quite happy, no want the right, to inflict your habit on
others.

You may now resort to the insults smokers use when they know they have lost.
