    Excuse me, but I was just responding to your argument about car emissions being the same as inhaling second hand smoke...btw you have mentioned car emissions a number of times too.

    This is a discussion thread....sooo naturally people are going to give their opinions, which may get repeated/reinforced.... Ofcourse if you keep putting forward your opinion, or making points, others are going to respond....Just because someone disagrees with your view point there's no need to be so dismissive of others’ views…

    Looking at the poll, so far no-ones voted that its a bad thing.

    I tried smoking when I was about 11. I had asthma for days. Then I tried again when I was about 17. I used to think I was mega cool with a cig in my hand until some noticed the way I 'smoked'. I never took a puff from the cig and then breathed inwards - I just held it in my mouth and let it out. I tried to inhale and ended up coughing my guts out. Thought wtf, this can't be good for you and stopped smoking there and then.

    Perhaps if you thought a bit more about the ill effects of smoking and studied the subject you could maybe present a reasoned argument. Most of us who are in the anti smoking lobby have researched the matter and a therefore able to produce a reasonable argument based on facts not the propoganda pushed down our throats by the multi millionaires who control the tobacco industry. It has been well documented how they increase the addiction causing chemicals when they flood third world countries with their poison

It's intimidating, particularly for teenagers and the elderly people.

    This maybe the case, id feel intimidated too, but where should we go? We are outside, not polluting your air but yet still getting complaints?

    I dont get it! ...I really dont!

    I'm sure if you can present a well reasoned factually based argument someone may listen
