time to ban smoking COMPLETELY. would save a fortune treating people, who really should know better..

I wonder which bunch of killers would move in on the black market...Yardies?...Romanian?...Tongs? or good old fashioned Cockneys.

You can't ban something like smoking...or haven't you ever read about prohibition in the twenties?

Gangsters then made billions from booze and the numbers racket (Lottery)
Funny how governments use the same products to make fortunes.The only 1920s thing new labour hasn't got into yet is brothels.

I bet the current government is more into brothels than they would like us to believe.

ah, so if someone who is disabled parks right by the door they have to walk 40ft to an ashtray and 40ft back just to keep the non smokers happy? yeah you don't sound at all selfish :T

and you can shop on line if it bothers you that much...

Not at all, the disabled person doesn't need to smoke just before they go into the supermarket do they? or they could put it out in the car? granted, not all cars have ashtrays, but you can buy portable ones.

and you don't need to use a supermarket that has policies you don't agree with...
why should people buy ashtrays when they are provided by the store? just to keep the moaning do gooders happy?

This whole thread has gone bonkers

Ashtrays smell, and they're unpleasant to be near and more often than not people will stand near then to finish what they're smoking and when they're at supermarket entrances, you have to walk past the smoke to get inside - and therein lies the problem.

All that's needed is a little consideration to the people who don't want to breath in smoke, just a short walk away from the entrance is all that's needed, it would take a matter of moments.

I don't have a problem taking a wide berth of a smoker so I can avoid the smoke, in a public space or open area, but in situations where you can't avoid the smoke I think it's unfair. (and I have no intentions of not shopping at my local supermarket).

the smokers are actually keeping the NHS afloat.
Without the extra £6 Billion we raise what would we do?

Thats going on the BBC's estimate that smokers raise 9 billion in tax and use 3 billion treating themselves.

I was just thinking that.
