Personally, I'm so glad this has been both proposed and agreed upon by the government.

 

 

 

I'm British myself, Bring it on I say.

 

Cut down on this disgusting habit.

I'm all for the ban in all public places. However smoking has been banned on buses for a long time but still there are people at the back lighting up.

Here in Canada, we have had the exact same thing for about 5-6 years now. After the initial shock, people will get used to it, and not care anymore. It's such a nice law.

The ban has been in place up here for a while now. The only time I notice it is when I pass a big workplace where there are alot of people having a smoke or in the pub where the stench of smoke is replaced with sweat and bad breath.

 

 

 

I'm all for it though, I hate nothing more than sitting coughing because of other people's smoke - especially if I'm eating.

Yeah I hate it when you are walking past someone and they just puff out their smoke everywhere so you smell it.

 

 

 

ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã50 for getting caught, hmm.

Agreed.

 

 

 

The worse is walking behind a smoker with the wind blowing it in your face. I either skip ahead or hold my breath if I can't pass by. :-#

 

 

 

The number of people smoking around my school did cut down after the law was enforced here in Canada. A noticeable change; thank goodness. :D But still :uhh:

Sounds like a good law for everyone. You can still smoke in homes, hotels. I don't see why the smokers can be too angry.

Hmm indeed.

 

 

 

Should be more, however, a fine is a fine, ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã50 for doing something you know you should not be doing seems reasonable.

 

 

 

Companies can be fined up to ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã2,500 if they still allow smoking inside the workplace, could be more, I'm not to sure.

Now bring it to the USA!

Updated the link to the official website, not sure why I didn't do that in the first place :| .

 

 

 

But anywhoo.

 

 

 

I've tried smoking twice, both times I was blatantly drunk, but I still fully experienced it, It was dishearting.

 

I felt like such a disappointment, I had always said to myself 'never smoke, never be tempted, never even hold a relationship with a smoker'

 

 

 

Well, I broke all three.

 

 

 

I'd give anything to go back and never touch that cancer-stick.

 

 

 

My girlfriend did stop smoking, which was pleasing, although she still does it at the occasional parties, which I'm working on :wink:

 

 

 

I just don't see the point in smoking, period.

It relieves stress for people. At the same time it causes stress - buying cigarettes, the need for them. :wall:

So taking a walk outside, listening to some music, reading a book, going for a jog, maybe a swim, short bike ride, watching a dvd.

 

 

 

There are millions of things to relieve stress, everyone to there own ''healthy choice'' in relieving stress.

Ohio recently passed a smoking ban too. It's been so great since that happened. Mainly where I was working at the time. The break room was always filled with 3-4 people smoking so I couldn't even go in there without choking.

There are, there are. I didn't say that the other things are better choices. :wink:

Bravo, England! Now if only America could do the same!

 

 

 

I have never understood the point of smoking. Paying to give yourself cancer while annoying everyone arround you? No thanks.

It only relieves stress because the addiction causes the stress that smoking relieves.

Don't bring it to Australia >.>my Grandmother will get the dates wrong again :evil:

We recently got one here in Jersey, from smoking in public places indoors.

 

I was preety happy about that, one more step in the fight.

In the U.S. it is illegal to smoke in restaraunts in *most* cities, forcing people to do it outside. A good idea no doubt, and one which no one *should* complain about.

In Australia, you must be atleast 2 meters* out of a public building to smoke :-w

That was all of Ohio? I thought only where I live

I'm also from Canada and we have had this law for years now, and it definitely helps prevent second hand smoke. If you go inside any public buildings here the no-smoking sign will be there for sure.

I have trouble believing this will go through in America. The tobacco industry is big here, and, you know, lobbyists...
