@saiharish89 A script actually!

Considering smoking was only allowed in bars and pubs (you couldn't smoke on buses, trains, banks, supermarkets, shopping centres, shops, libraries, cinemas etc etc) and 60%+ of pub goers were smokers, wouldn't it actually have been fairer to get non-smokers to stand outside? Also, more logical - if someone wants fresh air, isn't that where you would automatically go? Yet imagine the whining and bleating from them if that had been the case! And anti-smokers say smokers are inconsiderate!

Spot on!

Excellent vlog. Reasoned, reasonable and sadly, a lone voice of logic and rationality in what has become a non-scientific, almost religious, debate.

Hilarious.

If a person would like to see a likely cause of any increases in cancer, there are two places that they might look. 1) In America, the stunning increase by corporate medicine in the use of ionizing radiation of different kinds, e.g. the CAT scan which is minimally 200 times the dose of a single chest x-ray. 2) Diesel exhaust contains not only more carcinogens in greater volume, it contains many more kinds of carcinogens and is ubiquitous in our environment, particularly around school children.

Enjoyed the video. I'm new to pipe smoking, but am glad to a certain extent on smoking being banned in SOME locations. Airplanes, trains and restaurants for example. I've always hated being around cigarette smoke in close-quarters. Now they're taking the smoking bans to extremes, and that's what I DON'T like about it. What's the point of selling tobacco if you're then not allowed to smoke it?

@JamesBurrTV both smokers and non-smokers want and need the occasional breath of fresh air outside, and I agree with you that is the best place to get it. although when sitting inside next to other people and you are smoking many people will be disturbed of it. think of it as farting, you have a right to do it, just don't do it in my face lol . also there are many who smoking is detrimental to their health, like people Asthma and other health related problems =]

Japan has the highest per capita smokers and yet has the highest life expectancy along with the most productive citizens.USA with 20% smoking is MUCH, MUCH below. People who have lived longest were 90% of the times long term smokers.The oldest person who ever lived, Jeanne Calment smoked since she was 21 to 117 and quit only because she couldn't light her cigarette properly due to vision issues.She died at the age of 123.

@Buttmunch5000 haha another guy conditioned into thinking 2nd hand smoke is bad. I wonder if stone age men complained about the smoke from their campfire. You should read the book 'smokescreens' to take a look at the 'research' that has been done that associates smoking with everything bad.

@chizzy555 Maybe you read the book called smokescreens, it takes another look at the so called 'research' non smokers keep talking about and cancer rates after the ban..

@thelifeuwant Well I know natural methods are best, but smoking is mostly undertaken by very busy corporate guys like me... me and my colleagues are working non stop and are under huge pressure. Very little free time too..Smoking is an instant relaxation.. 1 cig smoked under 2 mins and you're perfectly relaxed.. Though I should seriously reconsider my lifestyle..
