If it was up to me the smoking ban would go even further than it does now.

And yes I smoke.
You're missing the point this is'nt about smoking persay but about freedom of
choice and the slow but steady erosion of our civil liberties in what we
laughingly call a democracy. Let me make a point, a week or so ago i was passing a local school at about 3.15 and outside the school lined up for over 100
yards were parents waiting in their vehicles (quite a few 4x4s) all but a few with
engines running creating a cloud of CARBON MONOXIDE you could barely see through, did i go over and bluntly tell them to switch off their engines ,no i crossed the road (still breathing in fumes by the way)and made my way.
Where were my rights to clean air that day.I have driven before but no longer
have a car(by choice) although public transport does suck.
