Smokers react to outdoor smoking ban

1. Pub destroying Facist bellend.

2. Make Tobacco illegal and legalize Cannabis instead.

3. What they should do is separate a smoking and non smoking area based on how many smokers there are/people that don’t care about smoke. I think you’d find the size of the smoking area would be the larger and more popular area.

4. The liberals need to stay in the gay bars and leave us alone.

5. To help relieve pressure on the NHS ?
   Yet will still keep alcohol, UPF foods and flooding the NHS with thousands upon thousands of immigrants each year going.
   Gotcha makes sense 👍

6. Smoking is pure filth, people that smoke are dirty scruffy bastards. 😂

7. Pubs are where you smoke and drink all that will happen is less people will go to pubs and more people will start drinking at home or in gardens

8. They should ban fatty and sugary food while they are at it if they truly care about health. Considering obesity is the biggest drain on NHS services.

9. Why don't they let pub owners, managers etc make their own decisions, smoking pub, non smoking pub. Soon it'll be alcohol as it offends some people…….

10. why dont they also do something about obesity in the Uk if they are so concern about NHS??

11. I'd like to have the freedom of choice go choose to not breathe other people's smoke which is actually more harmful to me than them. They clearly have the choice of harming me more than them though.

12. What about pooping in the streets? If its in a corner it doesnt bother anyone. The smell? Whats the problem with the smell? Disease? Whats the problem with disease? Sounds familiar doesn't it?

13. By the year 2030 you will own nothing and be happy 😊.

    Just wait for them to introduce their CBDC, Carbon Passports , facial recognition cameras and Carbon Credits system.

14. I've never smoked,i dont like it,lost family members because of it,however,i support the right of a persons freedom and choice to smoke,but is this the start?what next,ban alcohol,ban meat,are we heading towards a state that tells us what to do,what to think.

15. Get a grip UK outdoor smoking bans have been in place in Australia for many years. You are way behind in public health policy.

16. I'm not a smoker and I'm furious with that filthy dope starmer…box ticking from labour filth as per usual!!

17. What economical grounds people aren't gonna stop, however tax will stop completely it all the money will go underground and the cost to the nhs will cost the same

18. Maybe they could just ban everything at once rather than using the boiled frog approach. Ban all alcohol, loud music , people expelling bad breath , people eating meat in front of vegan , vegan eating plants in front of carnivores , people snoring in public The UK could just go totally fascist on everything….or is that called woke?

19. Ban everything bad and just have the NHS there for gender transitioning.

20. so ban alcohol and sugar if you ban smoking

21. But that same government will continue to spew Carbon into the air from their "Petrol" Cars and Aeroplane Fuel!

22. Can you imagine the fights that will kick off in pubs on a weekend because people are dying for cig and getting angry with alcohol in their systems. Bad move if you ask me. I am a smoker and I will not go to pubs or restaurants if I cannot have a cigarette and relax. It’s not up to the government if I quit or when or how I quit it’s not their business. I will have my friends and family over to my home for food and drink! So will everyone else. Not wise. Bunch of hypocrites really just wanting to control everyone. I’m planning on leaving this country anyway I used to love my country and now I hate it because of these politicians. Plus can’t respect this current PM for helping Jim Sav get away with what he did. No thank you. Can’t trust people like that at all!

23. What's next " coffee" becomes class A

24. Ban shyte plastic food in packets from 'super'markets

25. A lot will give up. Its too much hassle to smoke.

26. I'm watching the smokers who never gave up that are in 60s now. All have COPD… and are on the way

27. The government doesn't give a toss about people's health or they would have banned the sale of tobacco years ago.

28. "It's a bit like beef and Yorkshire puddings, a beer and a cigarette. I can't see a problem there!" Says the man who's clearly unhealthy lifestyle has rendered him looking like one of the goblins from The Hobbit movies.

29. The Tories were going to ban anyone born after 2009 from smoking by a progressive increase every year of the legal age at which you can by tobacco products.
    Labour are just stopping you from smoking in public gardens.

    In time under Tory plans no one would be allowed to smoke, under Labour ppl will still be able to smoke and new smokers will be able to smoke, they’ll just be restricted where they can smoke.

    Anyway as I understand it, this is an idea and not policy yet (although I’m happy to be proved wrong in that).

30. So based on the governments mathematic formula how will they fill the hole left by lack of revenue from the taxation on cigarettes ? Will they add a drink per pint tax like the pay per mile being introduced for the hole left in their finances by electric vehicles not paying fuel tax ?

    Also as the tobacco industry reduces presumably that will mean those working in this industry losing jobs ? How is that going to help our economy?

31. Sus regulations… what’s happening to England?

32. 'We don’t like it, let’s ban it'
    Said the dictator
