Ban smoking in public?

[Silverfern]

"Faggots", "reds", "leftwing uni students", "race traitors", "blacks", "jews" don't pollute the air that I breathe, but smokers do. Unless of course the "faggots", "reds", "leftwing uni students", "race traitors", "blacks" & "jews" are smokers too.

I have no sympathy with selfish smokers. Ban it everywhere in public, even on the streets.

"Faggots", "reds", "leftwing uni students", "race traitors", "blacks", "jews" tend to smoke other things

And not only pollute the air but the ground and everything they touch.

May be, but what has this to do with the smoking ban?

Yeah? When's the last time any of them took a shower?

They don't, due to the fact that activity is accepted by society.

Personal hygiene you see as not acceptable ..thank god I live down wind from you.

Hehe. Nothing wrong with my personal hygiene (it's actually very good). There is -however- something wrong with the way in which you tend to address others here on this forum.

I mirror my responses.

If they don't like it, don't do it.

I have a question; who are we to decide what other people should do? Why should we say: "No! You can't smoke in any public place!" Shouldn't this be up to the owner? IMO the owner should make the desission himself, but if yes, there should, just for being polite, be made a smokers lounge so that non-smokers didn't have to get the smoke in their face when eventually enjoing a beer. Or a dinner for that matter.

It should be restricted where it's unsafe or unclean.

Has it occured to most posters in this thread that there are people with genetic predispositions for respiratory conditions (e.g. asthma, bronchitis) and cancer?

Those are in great danger, if they are willy-nilly subjected to breathing the smoke of others.

It's not 'up to the owner', imo. It is a public danger and it should be banned in order to protect public health.
Smokers can smoke in their own homes if they like. Even outdoors (e.g., bus stop) is potentially harmful for passive smokers.
