defective heart. Imagine that you were on a transplant waiting list and you somehow found out that all 5 patients in front of you on the heart transplant list were all smokers?

If you want to smoke, fine. But don't get overly defensive and arrogant, play the victim card, and flippantly act as though your right to smoke will never affect non-smokers because it does.

I find it interesting that one of the smokers in this video said the government is trying to make it look as though smokers inflict their personal choice to smoke on non-smokers. If she is honestly trying to suggest that smokers don't do this then she is deluded.

I'm sure there are smokers out there who get cancer/heart disease/liver problems, realise they want a second chance at life, and sign up for a transplant. Imagine how you would feel if you were a non-smoker who was born with a...

smokers are second class citizens who suck butts

smokers dont need seperate smoking rooms we have our homes where most of us will be staying untill we have a safe warm pace in which to induldge in both our nasty ilttle habbits ie smoking and drinking if we look at the smoking ban on its main points such as reducing smoking rates and having no adverse effect on the pub trade the smoking rate went up and the effect on the pub trade has been nothing less than catastrophic beer tie cheep booze recessions there pre 07 why are they problems now

yes, you have a right to smoke. But I also have a right to breathe clean air.

So whose rights do we observe, smokers? You do not need an indoor sauna, you selfish pricks. Smoke outside.

kill yourselves and your kids fine but dont kill me or my family with your filthy habit

if I shit on your head is that ok as its less of a health hazrd than breathing in your fag smoke and depending on diet will smell better

hmm go to the pub and support the biggest infringment of civil liberty since the thatcher government while a portion of the price of your pint goes directly to the w.h.o who in turn give it to ash choke ect to fund ther regeme of fear mongering grounded in baseless sudo sience and clap trap or sit at home blaze up get your mates round have a lot more to drink than you would in the pub and listen to music played at the correct volume rather than the ear splitting din that is in most bars

This really makes me laugh you people have no idea what your breathing in just living your every day life, most of you dont even care about what is put in your food you buy and then you have the audacity to criticise a small cigarette smoke. You drive cars that produce more carbon monoxide than all cigarettes would ever do, light bonfires on a huge scale every year, think that Nuclear power is the future and then complain about cigarette smoke, are you people for real.

@pascha120 lol i think that every car driver is inflicting there exhaust fumes on cyclists and pedestrians as well as nuclear power stations inflicting there nuclear pollution against peoples personal choice. For every argument there is an opposing argument. Silly but we choose to smoke like many choose to destroy the planet with car fumes and Nuclear power stations etc. I really think your argument on cigarette smoke is silly compared to what's really going to kill you.

@gokuhawks14 She tried for years to convince him to quit but her dad ended up smoking behind her back down the pub or when the family weren't around. I just think smokers ought to think twice before they outright say that smoking doesn't affect others at all. I've seen firsthand how smoking can tear a family apart and rob someone of their own father so I stand by my comment that smokers shouldn't get overly defensive and flippantly say smoking 100% doesn't affect others.

@gokuhawks14 Imo it's the smokers fault for picking up the smoking habit in the first place b/c if you don't smoke you won't be on the list. Everyone knows how smoking can negatively one's health yet some choose to smoke anyway. If people want to smoke then that's up to them but I still think it's odd that people in this vid and in the comments are still saying that their smoking doesn't affect anyone. My best friend's father died of cancer due to smoking and his death affected her very deeply.
