I believe that Smoking is a luxury. Some chose to Smoke, some to drink and others take joy in reading. It is up to the individual as to what they wish to consume and get up to on a daily basis. As long as there habit or luxury, doesn't affect others around then it can't be classed as BAD. However if the Smoking is affecting others, by second-hand smoke then it can be deemed as BAD Behaviour. I am a non-smoker and don't really care what others do in their free time. My opinion on the Smoking ban is that it was awfully extreme. I do no exactly like smoke, but in society everyone has to tolerate things that they don't like. The Pub's were fine when there were Smoking and Non-Smoking sections. Why were they changed? All the Government did was put people off the Pub's. This is unfair because hard-working British people enjoyed a good drink and a smoke on a Saturday night!
In Response to Herj's Blog:
I completely agree that smoking doesn't miraculously make someone better looking. It does give them a certain sex appeal. In the reference to 'Grease' i agree that 'sandy' had a better sex appeal this is because she played the 'goody-two-shoes' act throughout the film.
I agree with you entirely, what people choose to do in their free time is up to them, it only bothers me when someone blantely spokes in a non smoking area and i happen to be standing there
