smokers arguements are well flawed. it does damage others health, it stinks and it ruins the atmosphere for those who don't do it. My mum has just banned smoking in her pub (before she had to) and it so much nicer (and busier) than before. Fact is the majority of people now dont want it in public places. As for outside, tbh I would like it banned there too, but not particully worried. When you walk past it you get a whif and its minging, not the end of the world thou. But in inside public places its fair enough.

What angers me is that the goverment effectivly endorses smoking by taxing it on one hand, then restricts it heavily on the other.
