Banning smoking outdoors?

[MrsMerryHenry]

Did anyone else hear about this on R4 (PM programme) this evening? I can't find an article about it anywhere. Is this a serious proposal?

It does make me when smokers complain about infringement of civil liberties over this issue. I don't believe I have ever heard a smoker talk about non-smokers' civil liberties being infringed every time someone lights up. And non-smokers have been putting up with second-hand smoke for about as long as humans have walked the earth. So although a very small part of me feels a wee bit sorry for smokers, that they're being pushed into a corner, the rest of me goes "ROFLROFLROFL it's about time."

designated smoking doorways yes like for workplaces not tesco or supermarkets where children have to pass through
usually the cigarette is child height.

smoke in your own homes/gardens thats it.

we can eat in restaurants with no smoke, take children more places too

cinema, etc etc......so yes its great now.

pubs should be shut anyway

Oh look another straw man argument, this time saying anyone who objects to smoking outdoors is from the DM contingent. Read the thread onager why don't you. Oh, hang on, that might challenge your blinkered, self-righteous views. Ah well don't bother.

I don't smoke but this is the nanny state gone too far.
