Re: Smoking near children should be a punishable offence!

As its a topical discussion im gonna be on unpopular view because as ive said i think there are far more dangerous n worse things than smoking....smoking in a car = dangerous driving how rediculous drinking is worse that does n is proven to kill on rds.

For a smoker its not just about addiction its about what the cig does for some ppl ie keeps em calm, can aid concentration etc. Take the car incident n that person was banned from smoking that person is gonna crave more as with owt u always want what u cant have more, the worse could happen in that senario is that the person gets v annoyed n stressed easily n could put others at more danger dependant on type of person or another way they take their frustration out on the kids for not smoking n kids are v stressful at best of times. OK i can respect public places n ppl for non smoking but i think smokin in own homes n cars are that persons choice n responsiblility n quite a cheek when the tax rate on fags is serious inflation n being told what to do.

My mate had an ashma attack a bit back n ran out of her puffers the ambulance crew told her to actually have a fag as shes a smoker [believe it or not] because the fag would calm her down n slow down her breathing enough to re regulate it - thus fore needed no xtra intervention.

What im sayin may sound selfish but its my perspective if it weren't fags it'll be something else.
