And are there no smokers here who can even see the point of view of non-smokers who would rather not breathe other people's cigarette smoke in public places?
O dear! I can't let that one by <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />... I think the smokers here, and 98% of the smokers I know in person, are well aware that others don't want to breathe their smoke. The majority of them go out of their way to be considerate. Last I heard, smoking doesn't cause anti-social behaviour (unless you constantly give the smoker a hard time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ).... although, I understand that refined sugar can lead to a whole bunch of physical and emotional ills... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
Sorry, Kris... I'm not trying to be mean, or to trivialize the issue. I'm a never-have-smoked, and you're an ex-smoker, so I guess we have very different outlooks. I certainly do respect your own struggle to give up an addiction to smoking, and I'm delighted for you that you succeeded. And got the car. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
the government here certainly spends a lot of money on Quit programs and health awareness advertising
Indeed, there is a huge amount of money being spent on these things, and on funding the lobbys. We could end up in conspiracy theory stuff here, if we're not careful! << i.e. are the pharmaceutical companies financing the demise of the tobacco companies? -- let's hope not! >> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />
