I agree with the mesure, and to what CC says… smoking has really no use anyway, it’s just harming.
Taxation on tobacco products will get so high no one will be able to afford to smoke anyway. Currently in New England $3.00 to $4.00 US a pack…
Smoking is Dumb Period :P

If you can’t effectively ban soft drugs how could you ban smoking?
Next, are you going to ban suicide?
Next, are you going to ban suicide?
suicide and smocking are differnt, smoking harms other people suicide doesnt
unless……
well the hijackers on the plane that hit the twin towers were commiting suicide……they harmed other people
That is kind of splitting hairs isnt it GeZe? They set out to kill people, that is why they got up that morning.

well, if this ban applied soley to “soft drugs” then a health inspector who walked into a restaurant/bar and saw people doing soft drugs could then apply a fine against the proprietor. So in effect, it is quite easy to enforce both “bans”.
as far as outright banning soft drugs, we are looking to decrinalize marijuana (some courts are already allowing for that), so i don’t see a plan in the works to ban smoking (outside of public buildings).
also, if someone wants to commit suicide in their own home, i don’t really have a huge problem with that (unless its someone i care about/productive member of society/non-communist, etc.), however i do have a problem with them setting themselves on fire and walking into a public place, and i think that ought to be banned . . . .
Isn’t marijuana smoke worse than that of cigarettes?
ya it is
Isn’t marijuana smoke worse than that of cigarettes?
well, the thing is that the way and frequency that it (mary j) is smoked tends to produce fewer lung cancers and less heart disease (and other diseases) than tobacco (i believe that there are slightly more mouth and throat cancers). I don’t know about any studies comparing 2nd hand smoke between the two, just that passive cigarette smoking is deadly (i.e. causes cancers, and may even invade the womb resulting in neurological problems in unborn children - although i don’t see pro-choice activists having a huge problem with this . . . ).
Next, are you going to ban suicide?
Isn’t suicide all ready illegal?
