1113835 2010-06-27 05:17:00 It would not worry me. I do smoke but I would take up other drugs that seem to be readily available instead if I went to prison. Sweep (90)

Now if they will allow smoking in RSA's that would be nice.

Extract:
"Half of all smokers now support the smoke-free law, and nearly one in four strongly supports it. Opposition among smokers appears to be ebbing away with only one smoker in six strongly opposing the ban. The change appears to be underpinned by a deep-seated shift in smokers' attitudes, according to Ash. It claims smokers are increasingly aware of the danger from secondhand smoke, with 75% believing it is harmful to children's health."

When ASH members collectively donate to the Government what tax is collected currently from smokers I will give up smoking.

1113839 2010-06-27 05:38:00 Good news that scum crooks cant smoke in jail.
I guess most of the scum crooks smoke so its is more punishment, victims of the scum crooks will feel better knowing they are hanging out for a fag.
Just shoot them like they do in the USA when they riot, so NZ will need to give our prison officers some nice short barrel pump action shotguns loaded with zero zero shot.

Too right. Shouldn't smoke in a car with kids. And I say that as a smoker.

^^ Prefect, they can get P and cannabis in prison, do you think a law will stop them smoking cigarettes?
If anything they will be smoking more cannabis and P. Personally I say we stop feeding those bastards altogether. Solves everyone's problems.

1113841 2010-06-27 05:51:00 I am sure a little baccy will smuggled into the prisons, but there is a plus side when the rellies of scum crooks get caught smuggling stuff they lose visitation rights for a year.
So the punishment of the crook is further increased and the victims will feel better still when they hear about it.
Christ I love this new minister of justice shes a gutsy hua.
Most prison officers smoke so they are going to be grumpy going all day without a smoke so the scum crooks are going to get it.

And here I was thinking that you might consider giving up smoking because of the harm you are doing to yourself.:rolleyes:

More than 4500 people die annually from smoking related causes in NZ and it is the leading cause of preventable deaths. Lifetime smokers have a 50% chance of being killed by smoking and loose and average of 14 life years. The World Health Oganisation estimates that around 9% of deaths worldwide are directly attributable to smoking. (from Wikipedia.)

You may have had an excuse if you smoked in the 50s or 60s, but there is no excuse in this enlightened age.

The best definition of smoking is: Suicide by installments.

I definitely agree with banning smoking in prisons.
