"I can live with that, can you?"
This is possibly the most mind bending question possible. The answer is no! Much how the anti-smoking adds promote smoking in the rebelious souls of youth, telling the anti-smokers that you are okay with their persecution only infurates them and causes them to ruthlessly retaliate with more anti-smoking adds.
(By the by, love these videos.)

@HairyChestnuts. The problem I have on smoking pubs is that I believe, and you can't prove otherwise that smoking is harmful.. and like any working environment there is a duty of law to protect the worker and the customer. Now if you wanted a smokers pub
-
@HairyChestnuts I agree with what your saying, althou I think your methods leave a lot to be desired, patronising and insulting people isn't goint to win anyone over.. talking to people about the medicinal property of tabacco is more interesting than listening to your bias rhetoric about smoking laws!

Smoking in pubs should be up to pub owners. Not the government, not you, and not me. If all property owners are free to choose for themselves, then I have won, even if they choose to remain smoke free.

Not so much the cure for cancer, but rather a possible cure for anything. Aspirin replaced willow bark because growing willow trees is awkard. But tobacco and many other herbs need only a window box or a few pots. A single greenhouse could supply a local herbalist with a wide variety of natural medicines. Who would need drugs, when we have nature.

@HairyChestnuts It doesn't sound half as far fetched as I originally thought it would when you say it so logically like that..
so all of this.. wanting to smoke in pubs is just smoke screen then, what you really want to do is overturn the large pharma companys.. the pubs are just a red herring..
-
@HairyChestnuts So what you are saying is.. that the big tabacco and pharma companys are keeping secret the incredible health benefits of tabacco in order to extract the healthy bits out and sell them back to us in a drug. And they do this because they don't want us growing a cure for cancer in our back gardens.. wow!
-
Are so really so blind to the obvious. I've already explained this once. If the health benefits of tobacco become public knowledge, then the government would lose it's power to tax and regulate it. We could all grow our own natural pure tobacco in our own gardens and the government, the tobacco companies and the pharmaciutical industry would lose out. How can any of them make big money if we can grow it ourselves for free?
-
Pharma are doing their own research on tobacco, for the purpose of isolating and extracting the various curative properties it has. Slowing the onset of Parkinsons disease, releaving Altziemers, and even skin anti aging creams are based on tobacco extracts. And this without the additional benefits from active smoking. Remember the animal experiments that demonstrated a reduced chance of developing cancer (and long gevity) amonst smoking animals.
-
They are selling more tobacco. Both smoking rates increase wherever bans are introduced, and the pharma companies buy tobacco too so they can extract the nicotine from it. That's why tobacco company share prices have increased.
As I understand it, the risk of getting cancer is more genetic than anything else, i.e. if one or both parents suffered early in life, that increases your chances greatly.
The same goes for risk of heart attack.
Look at Labour MP David Taylor - marathon runner and avid campaigner for the smoking ban. Dropped dead on Boxing Day taking a walk. He was 63.
