Fatties.

Good call. I reckon there is a real passive weight-gain issue going on. I must have put on nearly 3 stone since I first met my mother-in-law. Can I sue her?

Who else can we pick on after the smokers? think of some other self inflicted burden on the NHS....

And be told they smell bad.

Smokers are a damned nuisance and should all be made to stay in their homes.

Filthy, smelly, disgusting weed.

the whole thing looks like crap, the council have said that there is no such limit and the bar owner doesn't wish to be named.

Would you support the current drive to boost tax on alcohol? Where does it stop? The government would love it if everyone was so subservient.

If everytime I drank some beer or wine, people in my vicinity passively drank a small amount too, then yes I would support it.

Smokers are jokers.

You already do.

But the cost to NHS is pretty high too, though on a balance it is possible now that smokers pay more than they cost to the Govt, though it has to be said that smokers give cancer to other people who don't actively smoke, so smokers can continue smoking but somewhere far away.

The tax raised through the sale of tobacco products continues to be a major source of revenue for the Government, contributing around £10 billion annually. This is, according to the Treasury, equivalent to almost 3 pence on the basic rate of income tax or 12 pence on the top rate of income tax.

I don't personally.

The price of cigarettes should be raised by 1000% and all non-smokers should get a share of the extra cash.

Yeh, but statistically more smokers are horrible common sorts and longer life is not necessarily a good thing.

People who passively smoke their crap dies earlier. I favour putting all bad people into jail where they can suffer.

Anti-smoking laws are good. I noticed that air is much better in pubs, people will live longer (even thouse who don't actively smoke).

But then you realise that smoke has been masking the smell of wee and b.o.
