What about the 4% of the UK prison population who are pensioners?
Pensioners or not, they are still criminals. It's not like age makes a difference in crime anyway. I'm sure I recall many people calling for thomson and venebles to be given the death penalty, yet they were only 10yrs old? Did anyone care about age then?
Personally I'd let the elderly smoke themselves to death, it's their lives and they might as well live out their days as they wish as long as it isnt harming anyone else.
I can't believe they would do this. You are allowed to smoke in your own home....and a care home IS there own home......hmmmmm I don't see the difference.
When the smoking ban came in, our residents were allowed to smoke in the SMOKERS lounge..... even family were allowed to, because its classed as THERE OWN HOME and family are guests.
Relatives that didn't have a smoking Resident, were not allowed to smoke In the home.

The care home isn't their own INDIVIDUAL home though, its one shared by others. Non-smokers often have rules about not smoking in their homes, so why should they not be able to have the same rules they would have in their normal lives?
Smokers can go into their own rooms if need be, or outside. Its just like at university where all the accomodation is non-smoking, and whilst there is smoking accomodation, you still have to smoke within your own room and not out in the corridors. I dont think anything particularly unjust is being done to smokers by enforcing these kind of rules.
None of this doesn’t change the fact that this government as lost it direction or as it? If the balance of the population shifts in favour of the non smoker than an ever encroaching ban will “in their minds” increase their share of the non smoking vote.
What I don’t like is the fact that there is very little choice in terms of an alternative government. In respect of the Health and Safety aspects it’s the responsibility of the employer/employee combination to reduce risk not hide behind this non entry bull****.
But what really gets me is that the Human Rights Acts protects terrorist, criminals, offenders, illegal immigrants and other non tax paying scrounging bastards from being named yet someone who may have fought for there country or worked all their lives can’t have a fag in peace.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! You walked right into that one.There are mental health units at both Blackburn, and Burnley hospitals.
By the way, one of the early signs is getting your words muddled.
I just KNEW that you wouldn’t be able to resist having a poke at me in your inimitable childish way.
It would have been obvious to an amoeba that it couldn’t have been a typo so it had to be deliberate. But you being so full of crap and your own self importance you just had to have a dig and made a complete and utter fool of yourself, leaving people in no doubt who the obnoxious prat is on this forum.
I think that your post signature is quite appropriate in this instance.

well said doug, its a pity the "intelligent ones cant see it.
Please tell me this is just a sick joke.
Meanwhile we cannot deny prisoners their illegal drugs because that is against their human rights!
Even as a non-smoker who doesn't like breathing in other people's smoke I do think that there should be some way of allowing people to make their own choices in their own homes.
Good for you.
