I am not trying to stop people from smoking if they choose to. However like Willow said, the moment that I have to breathe in your second hand smoke, you are taking away MY choice to breathe fresh air.

You are probably right that smokers are making a big contribution to the NHS in the amount of tax they pay on packet of fags. But someone has to pay for the cost of treating smoking related diseases don't they? Smokers are NOT paying for the treatment of those who choose not to smoke, saying that is just plain daft IMO.
