Thread Name: BS: The smoking ban & pubs
Subject: RE: BS: The smoking ban & pubs
Like I said before, the fascists have had their little win. It doesn't bother me personally that I can't smoke in pubs, and I don't think smokers should have any more or less rights than anyone else. It's a small minority of non-smokers who seem to be really getting wound up about this, and I can't for the life of me see why, when they have been given what they want on a plate without having to lift a finger to bring it about democratically. Obviously they want to feel superior, but surely they can do that quietly and without resorting to the playground mentality that they are exhibiting here. I'd like to know if they are prepared to treat disabled and elderly smokers in this way.
