Is the new smoking ban a good idea? #news #shorts
so it’s like a ban forever I think that
is very healthy for them but I also
think it’s a bit too dictatorial if they
if they’re going to do what they’re
going to do they should ban it out right
I don’t think they thought about it long
enough there’s almost been this too much
of a beat up of smoking and smokers why
aren’t there those grotesque warning
pictures on McDonald’s hamburgers for
example I think they need to tackle
vaping and it it might be a distraction
away from that in a way probably a good
move I don’t think it’s good to
encourage out for kids alcohol leads to
more Health damages than cigarettes and
we clearly have a bigger alcohol issue
here than cigarettes

My dads mam lived to 94 YET smoked since she was 13, and died of an aneurism. My mums ex fiances mother died aged 62 from a heart attack and never smoked, drank little, and ate healthy and exercised every day. I did lose an auntie, father and grandad to cancer in 2008, 2009,and 2010 and they smoked.
I have smoked for 30 years and enjoy it, and will die of something so why not do things i enjoy?
Ban all junk foods, ban liquor,ban the air we breathe..come on man..stop the nonsense
Pink Hair = Hypocritical idiotic statement incoming.
Don't worry if tobacco does get banned just see ur, local dealer.
Its stupid because people arent gonna stop if you ban it, they'll just be labeled as criminals
Let the people cosume what they want. If you wanna smoke, smoke. Its dumb to restrict something that, especially with clean air laws, only hurts you.
I don't smoke but who is anyone to tell people they can't smoke?
People have a right to choose for themselves you can't tell people what they can and can't do with their spare time, this Nazis behaviour!
i get people have a right to chose but smoking doesn’t effect just their health but the people who inhale the smoke too. maybe make them spoke in their own home?
Ban alcohol too pls
I understand the alcohol might be bigger problem, but you can’t sit beside me and drink a beer and get me drunk!
So when do they ban alcohol? Causes diabetes, heart disease, liver failure, renal failure, anorexia, mental illness! Need I go on? Only 3% alcoholics survive
Everybody saying freedom when it’s our freedom not to breathe in 2nd hand smoke
Alcohol is the worst killer and most liberally acceptable and acceptable, tobacco is right there but they both will kill you, but yea alcohol is way worse used chronically
Worker's have smoke breaks, ban smoking = more productive workers
Where😮 does it stop ,?really not a good idea next it will be let's stop everything, You probably thing you are FREE u are not,Trie having a sing song in the Park, see how long it takes for the police to turn up u can time it,then phone up and tell them that your home is being broken into, see how long it will be before they turn up time it then tell me you are free 🤬🤬
Alcohol is definitely worse!
Ban illegal immigrants
Its never going to stick. Its freedom of choice at the end of the day. If you can legally consent to other adult activities from the age of 16 , being told no isnt going to stop smoking. At 21 you have the right to vote which means you decide as an individual. You can not take a persons freedom of speach and choice we dont live in a dictorial life. Put it to a vote . A smoker is of sane mind and relatively calm . A drinker is a ticking time bomb whos mind is distorted and drugs even more so. Leave us smokers alone.
Lets ask the good english citizens 😂🤣😂🤣😂
We don't want a nanny state
legalise weed and ban alcohol.
You can’t tell people what they can and can’t spend their money on. You can raise taxes on things and pump it into the health service to cover the fortune they cost us.. but you want tell them what they can and can’t consume 👍
Alcohol is 10x worse it kills people
Hold up think
What is going to replace the tax on it 🤔 😕 😐
Tories not thinking about their pockets
SOMETHING IS WRONG
Why ban it outright? If a 70-year-old has been smoking for like 55 years why ban it for them? 😂 people born in 2009 are like 14/15.
So many serfs begging the government to take away their freedoms.
Please ban mercury and micro plastics! Also ban combustion cars
