Thanks Wayneyboy, you have emphasised the point I was trying to make. Just lately we are being told we as a nation binge drink, overeat and have to stop smoking. If the ban on smoking is carried out, how soon will it be before it could also apply to drink and food? I am sure they can find some research that could lead to rationing food again just as they did in the war.
I can accept that passive smoke is unpleasant, but the exhaust fumes from cars and lorries cause just as much if not more damage. But no concerted efforts are being made to enforce different types of fuel that are not harmful. the smokers are an easy target.
