Jambutty; you're making me out to be a hypocrite without reason!
I do not drive - & yes I am for everybody using public transport but I realise it is not feesable for everyone to go and dump their car down at the scrap yard. I do get irate about idiots driving 4x4's without a care in the world about the crap they are guzzling out into the air.
I am merely trying to get the smokers to own up to the fact that smoking is an unnecessary irritant which emits that deadly stench & more importantly is as dangerous to non-smokers as it is to the ones who have paid £4/£5 for a pack of 20.
You cannot compare smoking to car use - car use in this day and age is necessary to inner city commuters especially around the big cities of Manchester & Liverpool.
Smoking is the biggest cause of unnecessary death every year - it's a fact.
How would you feel if a bed on the NHS was unavailable to a non-smoker when an idiot with a disease directly caused by smoking was taking up the space? Well it happens - everyday - unnecessarily.
