Re: Banning smoking - does it make sense?

Yeah because no one dies of drug use now that they are banned. :roll: But accessing the drugs is much harder so fewer people become addicts.

Re: Banning smoking - does it make sense?

Stupid decision. I am an avowed non-smoker, but such a ban would have the opposite effect with an unregulated Black Market. There is also the precedent of the state deciding that if something is not good for you, they can ban it. Which leads to the question, what would be next? Fancy a beer, anyone...
