Thread Name: DDay for smoking ban in Ireland
Subject: RE: DDay for smoking ban in Ireland
Why in Gods name do some smokers think they are so high and mighty. I've had one friend and one relative die from cancer both at relatively early ages, 39 and 48, both leaving wives and children. They both had cancer caused from smoking, secondary smoking in one case. When people say "they don't have to go in pubs" it makes my blood boil, they wanted to go in pubs and other places that allow smoking and have paid the ultimate penalty - DEATH. If someone invented smoking today would it be allowed to happen, I don't think so.
