Should smoking be brought back into pubs?I have read all the comments on here. I am a smoker and find the freedom of choice, Big Brother like.The Goverment is making money out of me every day, but I am being treated like a leper. At work I have to go outside to a bus shelter type effort which can not be totally enclosed, even though it is only used by smokers. I feel my human rights are being ignored, there is no heating but we still go out there. I am sure there are some people I work with who go on their breaks and over eat, which could lead to other health problems such as Diabetes, which is a huge problem in this country now and costing the NHS millions. I have also worked in a hospital and the smoking room was not big enough, it was not just the cleaning staff, it was doctors and nurses also, educated people who know the risks. I would just like to say to all the holier than thou when they have finished with the smokers, who are they going to pick on next? Perhaps the dog owners who let their dogs foul the footpaths or the obese who now cost the NHS so much money as in America or the people who drink to excess, be careful who you cast the first stone at, and I am not God fearing. It is a slippery slope, be very careful what you wish for, the Goverment might pick on you next. I like going to my local pub, but now we have the young children, which is as annoying as anything and spoils my enjoyment with their screaming and running around. I have children but would never have put that on other pub goers. And just to end this rant, why am I not allowed to smoke on a train station platform if it is in the open, total madness.
