well looks like Im first to say it sould nor be banned, I dont drink but I smoke,since this ban came in, i went out 1, and it was totally degrading, as I had to go out onto the street to have a smoke,this I fell is last straw, there were few mine age (54) and we felt like pick ups; when this ban was coming all publicans should have be ordered to have a smoking area within, for us,it had certainly stopped me from going out, BUT and big BUT didnt stop my smoking addiction

Yes smoking in public place should be definately banned,smoking doesn't effect the one who is?it also effect the people living in surrounding,and dont even smoke in closed room,it causes lack of health weakness.

SMOKING - CAUSES ILLNESS AND DEATH
No, I do not. I think that more states in the US and more countries worldwide should ban smoking in ALL public places, including bars and pubs. They should also enforce the laws that you should have to be at least 500 feet away from a public building, a doorway, or a window if you are smoking. Why should people have to walk through a cloud of smoke in order to get into a building?The harmful effects of second hand smoke have been proven conclusively- there is no longer any doubt. If you choose to smoke and risk the consequences, then that is your choice. But you have no right to impose your choice on other people. There are many sites online to go for help with quitting.
