Now that you are the Minority, you want to force your rule and lifestyle on me.
Okay but when the UK adopts Shiara Law what will you do then.
Smokers are in a minority, live with it. I am glad to see the smoking ban, there is nothing worse than having a meal and have some smoker light up near you. When I go out I do not wish to return smelling of a ashtray and needing a shower before I go to bed. and having to wash my clothes.
Society should be for the good of the many, not the good of the few.
Smokers are the few.

O.K. using statistics to put forward your claims eh?
Well how about this?
Quote:
In 2005, estimates suggest that 16 per cent of fatal accidents and 5 per cent of non-fatal
(i.e. serious and slight accidents) personal injury road accidents involved at least one
driver with illegal alcohol levels.

Therefore the 84% of fatal and 95% of non-fatal accidents are caused by sober drivers working with your logic of majority rule cause and effect should we leave the roads to those that drink and drive? Statistically they are safer.
