Typical response from the health fascists - when in doubt, try to get it banned. Utter morons. This in the same week when we learned (surprise, surprise) that "invisible" air pollution could be killing up to 50,000 per year (a damn sight more that passive smoking is alleged to kill). A lot of this pollution comes from cars, so why don't they advocate banning cars? This would mean that the poor little children would have to walk - again a health benefit to the majority of the little fatsos - and their parents could enjoy a nice fag in the open air as they walk with them.

This is more a question of good parenting - if you smoke, don't do it with your children in the car. Isn't it obvious to anyone with a modicum of common sense?

The ban won't, of course, stop the irresponsible parents shovelling burgers, chips, crisps and cola down the little darlings, but hey, at least they can sleep soundly knowing their little Bunters haven't inhaled that treacherous 2nd hand smoke.

Labour Party Manifesto 2005

Quote
"We recognise that many people want smoke-free environments and need regulation to help them get this. We therefore intend to shift the balance significantly in their favour. We will legislate to ensure that all enclosed public places and workplaces other than licensed premises will be smoke-free. The legislation will ensure that all restaurants will be smoke-free; all pubs and bars preparing and serving food will be smoke-free; and other pubs and bars will be free to choose whether to allow smoking or to be smoke-free. In membership clubs the members will be free to choose whether to allow smoking or to be smoke-free. However, whatever the general status, to protect employees, smoking in the bar area will be prohibited everywhere.".

I had a 'slight' altercation and 'discussion'  whistle: with an officious official at Venice railway station on Monday for disgracefully DARING to roll a ciggy on their open air platform.

This is all getting beyond a joke now.
