smoking is not good.

Whilst smoking may be a bad habit and one that doesnt smell so nice it is up to an individual what habits he or she decides to take up....noone else. If someone wants to cause themselves health problems by smoking or drinking or not exercising or eating the wrong foods whos business is it other than their own? We have also been fed all this false information about second hand smoke killing us all and causing untold amounts of troubles.....it just isnt true. I dont want someone smoking next to me because I dont want to smell it or have me smell of it when I leave....not because I think its going to cause me serious health problems, because lets face it, it isnt. Someone can smoke all their life and not have ill effects....so what is the chance of a non smoker having ill effects from that smoker? Virtually 0. It is also ridiculous that here in the UK they have banned smoking in every public place. Utterly stupid idea which has ripped the heart out of 100's of towns and villages with the closure of many pubs and with it, a loss of many jobs. Where I live I can walk to 7 fantastic little pubs..... which were surviving on the old man having his pint and a smoke.....that have now closed down. Its such a shame. And many pubs still open are reporting a loss of turnover and a lack of atmosphere....Im not surprised. Im a nonsmoker, but I wont go to a pub now.

Smoking is a very bad habit and I do not like those who smoke. People should quit smoking.
