Should the government really be wasting their time with smokers (cigarette smokers that is) (12)
The bigger question is 'can the government avoid being concerned?'
Cigarette purchases may bring a lot of revenue in for a government, but with social security being what it is, they also pay a lot out for medical conditions that occur because of smoking. Then there is the clean up of the streets... It's unpleasant to have to step over cigarette butts on the street.
Having said that, have we not made it worse limiting their places of where they can smoke. Outside of train stations there are butts everywhere because they cannot smoke on platforms... outside of shopping centres etc.

freedom of choice is right
and it goes both ways
as long as you are not polluting my air with 2nd hand smoke all is well
my freedom of choice is to live work and socialize free of second hand smoke
nonsmokers do not want to lose the choice of breathing air free of cigarette smoke
smoking DOES impact others with secondhand smoke so smokers need to have some boundaries
and it goes both ways

Second hand smoke eh .... Car fumes are more of a concern to me and the planet i think
Nonsmokers have taken back their bars, school yards, playgrounds, trains stations, bas stops and restaurants..etc etc. Which i think is fair enough.
They've won their war, lets leave it at that!
We don't need to label more people as criminals, which is what smokers will become if governments get their way.
Life is meant to be lived, not prolonged
