but you could say that about so many things so why just us??
why isn't macDonalds banned?
why isn't hard liquor banned?
it's one sided nonsense

it isn't bannedyou just can't do it exactly where you want to... and unfortunatley I think it's natural progression and probably has as much to do with the amount of money generated by smoking going down naturally as it has to do with government's concern with health issues... if you'd been sitting in your office, 20 years ago, 25, you could have had a smoke at your desk quite nicely

it's to the very tip of being bannedpush it any further and it will be illegal
illegal to do something as old as the human race itself
since we first discovered fire, we've smoked
and we've survived, we've lived on
but it doesn't fit the governments little view
of us all as battery hens, making sure they squeeze
every last tax drop out of my working bones
just so they can spend it on posh lunches in brighton

That's a falsehoodNHS spending due to smoking related illness outweighs taxation revenue. So, people die and taxpayers fund it.

Rubbish - you can't smoke inside with a pint in your hand. So?and the government which has been so strongly set against you throughout history has played a significant role in getting people to smoke, in the interest of the government at the expense of the people.
Also I don't think you can argue that smoking is as inate a human characteristic as, for example, making fire, music or whatever...
although apparently it is the reason why America speaks English rather than French or Spanish

Burp! 'scuse me!If you eat McGonads or drink hard liquor in an enclosed space, it isn't going to affect anyone elses health.
If you smoke in an enclosed space, it will affect other peoples health. What gives you the right to inflict all the diseases associated with smoking on other poeple?
Smoke all you like, but don't force other people to smoke too.
