The Hitler argument is specious and I trust you have a reference

I have no clue what you mean by "Land locked pubs" or "wuite" - I can't see a simple typo there.

I'm a smoker and it's nice to be able to smoke where I please and irritating to have to go to another room in another building at work. But, guess what? I smoke less at work - that's surely a good thing.

Similarly, I'd recommend you visit a country where smoking in bars has already been banned and see for yourself how it's working. I've been to Ireland since the ban and, as at work, I found I smoked less and felt better for it the next day.

Technically, I agree, it's an assualt on my civil liberties, but, for once, I think it's correct that the government should do something to discourage smoking - it's quite likely that it'll cause you health problems and an early death.

So get off your high-horse and find something that's really worth campaigning against
