05.04.06 by rough guide
Advantage: none at all
Disadvantage: smoking kills
Banning smoking in public places is a good thing because I don’t want people smoking near me. Smoke from the cigarettes gets everywhere and I don’t want to become a victim of passive smoking. I can’t understand why people smoke because in the end over 66% of smokers face early deaths. So what is the point of smoking? I know it is addictive and all that, ...

As there is nothing worse than having someones second hand smoke in your face! Then a couple of days later i read that ...

22.03.06 by Lauren06
Advantage: People can breath clean air
Disadvantage: Can't think of any
Recently, a UK hotel company has complained that the ban on smoking in public places in Scotland is "an infringment on human rights." So what about the rights of people who chose not to smoke? What about the rights of non-smokers to breath clean air in a pub or restaurant? Why should they have to risk seriously damaging their health, just because people want to smoke ...

14.03.06 by Stitch
Advantage: Not breathing other peoples smoke.....
Disadvantage: It's discrimination....
YES. I am a smoker. But try to put that to one side for a moment and look at the bigger picture. Should the Government Ban smoking in all public places? My answer is a resounding NO. That doesn't mean that I am unsympathetic to the needs of other people. I attend places where there is a no smoking policy and I adhere to it. My parents do not smoke, and I never do so ...

The House of Commons voted in February 2006 to ban smoking in enclosed public spaces including pubs and private members clubs this vote was a free vote so MPs could vote how they like. The UK ban follows other country such as the Republic of Ireland’s anti-smoking ban. I have been to Dublin since the ban there was introduced and went out one evening in a mixed group ...

09.03.06 by Mauri
Advantage: Will lead to less people smoking, will protect worker
Disadvantage: Loss of freedom of choice
This issue has become rather emotive in recent times and I think the many different strands of the argument have become confused. First of all let me say that I come to the debate as an occasional smoker in the past with a background in medical science. I also like to think of myself as a libertarian. PERSONAL FREEDOM In a free society ...

The Government announced on 16 November 2005 their plans to ban smoking in most restaurants, pubs and bars in the United Kingdom this is due to take place by the Summer so is this fair? You decide and have your opinion before the ban comes into effect. The ban of course will face mixed reactions from the public and could cause some animosity as well all know people ...

06.03.06 by freeloader
Advantage: it is your right to smoke
Disadvantage: can cause cancers
Should smoking be banned in public places? Personally, I disagree because I feel smokers should be allocated separate rooms to indulge in their habit. Smoking can cause death that is a proven scientific fact. Obviously all the smokers are aware of this fact and they continue to smoke. Why should government pass legislation to ban people from smoking in ...

I stopped smoking 2 years ago and haven’t looked at the fags again. I have been in the company of friends who still smoke and luckily I don’t crave for nicotine anymore.

Should smoking be banned in public places? : smoking should be banned from the society
15.02.06 by broad bean
Advantage: none
Disadvantage: kills
I don’t smoke and I was glad to see the government banned smoking in public smoking. I think this will send a message to people that there is no point in smoking. I think the minimum age to buy fags should be raised to 21. There should be blanket ban on any form of advertising related to fags. The government should increase the taxes on the fag packs to make it ...

Disadvantage: bad for people's health
Banning smoking in public places is very good news for non smokers. Now we can go out to pubs and clubs and come back home without smelling like ash trays. Smoking kills thousands of people and this is the best way to discourage people from smoking. I hope in the future less people take up this nasty habit. Smokers will probably have to go outside and ...

Advantage: to be covered below
Disadvantage: also to be covered below
No doubt it will be obvious but I am a non-smoker just thought I'd add my tuppenny worth to the debate. First of all I'd like to say that I do believe in freedom of choice, in so far as one cannot simply ignore laws because we choose to. And freedom of choice should be applied in this case aswell as smokers keep saying. Let them choose to kill themselves, with the ...

Disadvantage: I would say there is a few points against
Well sadly there is no more official debating on this issue as in Scotland on 26 March 2006 this is the law but have they got it right. I suppose there are lots of arguments for and against this issue, firstly I must tell you I am a non-smoker but I have to say I am not entirely behind this ban. Ok over the past few months I have heard lots of ...

Advantage: No smoke (from cigarettes)
Disadvantage: Nanny state, badly thought-out legislation
Should smoking be banned in public places? That is the question. It's a redundant question, at least here in Scotland anyway, or it will be come March 26. But is it a good idea? It's hard to argue in favour of smoking, and more especially, inflicting smoke on people who have no desire to inhale the stuff. The trouble is, the legislation is a bit ...
