I drive, I don't think driving should be banned. I don't go sucking on exhaust fumes so I have no qualms with that.
I would imagine that walking down an average street you would inhale far more exhaust fumes than you would cigarette smoke.

Whilst the numbers are even, that's just drink drivers. It's not including people who have been attacked in alcohol related violence, property that has been damaged in alcohol related debauchery, or anything else.
I drink, and I smoke, but I don't believe you can condone one without condoning the other.
Nope it's not. It might as well be someone smearing faeces in our faces.. Which is why we want it changed so it is illegal.
Another flawed argument.
Driving serves a useful purpose, smoking doesnt.
Hitler thought there was a purpose to killing non-Arians , doesn't mean he was right to do so.
There really is no defence for why alcohol should not be banned.

because the people in this thread trying to ban smoking like alcohol
Where will the extra government revenue come from though?
I'll read through the rest of this thread later but this^ echoes my initial thoughts.
From the reduction of the NHS bill because there wont be that many people dying of lung cancer in hospitals.
Again. What you eat isn't going to affect the person next to you. Unless your really obese and are on a plane in economy. Then it's just a nuisance.
I personally find fat people gorging Mcdonalds, etc, hideous and disgusting. They also take up more room in lines, restaurants and weigh far more than I do on flights.
They should be banned or taxed more.
