[Another 2006?]

Lets hope so eh - a decent summer is long overdue!

[bash the smokers]

I'm glad of the smoking ban in so far I don't have to wash my hair & wash all my clothes every time I go to a pub. Although I do think there should be somewhere for smokers to go that is at least comfortable rather than being forced to stand next to the road etc.
Personally I only smoke very small amounts (and not tobacco...) so hasn't really affected me negatively. The exception being when you're with other smokers who in summer (which have all been naff since the ban came in) want us all to sit outside despite how chilly it quickly gets.

Thing that annoys me is the intolerance - stuff like "why should I even smell your smoke because it offends me blah blah" just before they get into their car and belch out stinking toxic fumes. As a cyclist I'd rather remove more cars from the road than smokers from the streets!

[A Satirical Piece of Debating]

I don't think I could agree with that piece anymore! 110% correct and a worrying trend indeed. I think drug laws show a perfect example this problem - banned because a select few abuse & misuse. Take it further - sometimes teenagers joyride in cars and kill themselves/others. Is it time for a ban on cars?
