I'm actually in favour of legislation to ensure that venues who
choose to become no smoking have enforcement. Perhaps it could be
similar to a license to sell alcohol.

How are you going to provide safe access for the disabled as required
by law?
Having breathing problems is a disability so you would have to break
the disabilities act to have a smoking venue.


I fully appreciate that many people dislike cigarette smoke and see
no reason why they should have to put up with it.

You keep saying that but disagree as soon as you want to smoke
somewhere. Why do you feel the need to smoke all over the place?

I don't RASF. I just want to be able to smoke in venues that choose to
allow it.

It would be very simple to allow choice & apply legislation to
enforce it.

They have, they have made it safe for non smokers to go into pubs,
etc. They haven't stopped smokers going into them either.

That assumes that passive smoking is a health hazard - it isn't.


My beef is that the current blanket ban doesn't allow any choice and
the alleged health scares have been deliberately used to support a
campaign to demonise & punish smokers without any scientific basis.

You are a typical addict.. any evidence that goes against your drug is
wrong.
There is loads of evidence that smoking is harmful you just choose to
ignore it.

And you are a typical RASF, any evidence that doesn't support your hysteria
must be wrong. There is scientific evidence that being an active smoker is
harmful, but there is none that supports the passive smoking myth.
