They? Who is they? You mean some people who smoke - same as some people drop litter and some people let their dogs ^%$ all over the place. We are individuals not a they.

As for smoking itself, get real - it's good for people. It is anti-carconegenic; creates a healthy barrier to germs that can infect the lungs; does wonders for the anti-social stygma that can affect some people; provides untold minerals that other ingestive products can't provide; and best of all, it's completely vegetarian. Think about it... tobacco can't be eaten or drank - so smoking it is entirely natural! :D :thumbs:

397166 2005-10-18 00:40:00 Do you want smoke-free streets now?

I believe in my lifetime we will see smoke-free streets. Examples of these smoke-free streets could be Queen St in Auckland City, Cuba Street in Wellington City, Ponsonby Rd in Ponsonby, and Hurstmere St in Takapuna.

More and more places will be banned from smoking... so... umm.... yeah! :illogical

They - sorry for using pronoun which may confused you.

They = those people that smoke and then rather than walk to the rubbish will drop it on the ground. I would put money that all smokers have some time or another thrown a ciggie butt on the ground. Tell me it aint so. I doubt it.

Oh yes - good for you for editing my post and not adding the part where I said those other lazy individuals that drop litter as well. THEY are lazy people who cant be bothered finding a rubbish bin. Ciggie butts are ONLY dropped by smokers.

Disagree. Driving a car is mainly for transportation purpose, of which is important in today's life. Smoking, bah, I see no benefits behind that immature action :annoyed:

397169 2005-10-18 03:43:00 And I suppose you are one of those people who walk down the street eating a meat pie.
I hate the smell of them, so please eat it at home.

I also hate the smell of hamburgers so please make McDonalds keep the smell off the street

I also hate the smell of petrol fumes so keep cars off the street.

You are not the only one with rights
Majority speaks, JJJJJ. I don't suppose there are a lot of people who hate the smell of hamburgers and meat pie etc.? Can you dispute the claim "I also hate the sight of humans, just can't stand them...". Do you agree then that we should also authorise a law that enable the banning of human from roaming around the world? *-)

Cheers :)

397171 2005-10-18 04:27:00 Consession is one thing, but no smoking on the streets is rediculous!

I'm a born again non smoker. I can't stand the smell of it...

I don't want to share my space, such as my office with smokers.. That is my choice. Same with my twuck or my bed. However, people have the right to smoke, and if they are doing it in an open space, or thier own space, who am i to deny them?

People may suicide if they so choose, and as long as they don't do it in a confined space, and thus take me with them, i have no problem with anyones smoking habits.

Live and let die.
