Why do people drink to excess? Why does it cost the NHS billions to care for people who cant control there alcohol intake or the nock on effect of associated voilence.I am teetotal through choice I cannot stand or abide people who drink.
Do I go on forums asking why people who drink arent shunned or made scapegoats for all that is ill. I choose to smoke and I am well aware of the damage it may or maynot do to me and I will take what ever comes to me but until then I people should just f off and leave there opinions to themselves no one has the right to tell anyone how to live their lives. If you dont like smokers well just avoid them. Smoking will always be around you wont ever totally erradicate it.

and why do people eat salt, its bad for you innit?
The trouble is smokers often make it impossible for non smokers to avoid. I'm of the firm belief that there should be a ban of smokers from congregating within a certain radius of a publically accessible entrance (for example, a pub door). Non smokers shouldn't have to walk through a cloud of smoke to get to where they want to go.
This is coming from someone who has the occasional smoke. When I had one earlier, I crossed the road and stood against a wall opposite the door to the building I was using. I kept out of the way, as I respect peoples desires not to have to wade through smoke to get into the building.

Because we need it to live? "The sodium component of salt is vital for controlling the amount of water in the body, maintaining the normal pH of blood, transmitting nerve signals and helping muscular contraction." - BBC Health
No, I'm not and have never been addicted. I would also never have described myself as a smoker.
It relaxes me because of the effects of nicotine.

I think these days weed is one of the main reasons smoking is still cool with young people. My sister was like me and was always against smoking, she hated the smell and the fact it can give you crows feet etc. Then she got a boyfriend who smoked weed and within a few months she was a heavy smoker

Whenever I think of smoking I immediately think of Pat Butcher and Dot Cotton

.Actually you need around 1500mg of sodium per day in your diet, too much is bad but that can said of anything.
You can take your nanny state and shove it where the sun doesn't shine, ya wee baw heid.
25+ a day smoker giving up. Not because I dislike smoking or smokers, but because I'm sick of being dragged into the vicious circle of vacuous tax hikes and general arseholery of big government.

I don't think that it is 'Nanny State-esq' to think that people should have be respectful. The fact is a large portion of the population dislike cigarette smoke. It isn't fair that people are made to do something unpleasant to them. I'm not saying we ban smoking in public places, that would be absurd. I'm just stating that people need to think about where they light up and what they are subjecting others around them to.
Giving up smoking because you dislike big government? I don't even know what you're on about here.
Not of rainbows. Too many rainbows can never be a bad thing. I love rainbows.

Pardon? How does that address my point at all? If you're going to partake in a discussion, at least post something worthy of discussion. Some cryptic comment that doesn't reference anything is not that.
Unless it's about rainbows, then you can post whatever you want.
