In today’s economy also…It was a shame & a crises that a smoking ban started. Thousands of businesses shut down in the bars, restaurants & casino industries. Texas wants nothing to do w/it. neither does New Orleans & Vegas will chop the bans in pieces. They tried to enforce a ban in a prison, but 3 prisoners burned down a couple buildings in a fit of rage & the ban was lifted immediatley! Inocent Smokers are being killed because of anti-smokers antics! You think you did a good thing w/these bans? You did not! All you did was hurt people & the economy! Idiots!

Dedicated to Mcallister: I’m so sorry for what you & your father has gone through & it was a horrable experiance you will never forget & I understand this…BUT..
Are you 100% sure your father’s problem came from the cigerettes that he smoked? Might of been from another sorce & but it is much easier for people to believe it was from smoking! But science have found other more believable factors that can cause respitory distress such as a oderless, tasteless chemical in the air called radon…that can be found in the homes basement…Science already confirmed Radon causes lung cancer to people. Look at all the 9/11 rescue workers that was all around that debree that are now suffering w/different types of lung distress. Sad but true & when you go outside…The emission fumes from cars, Trucks & factories…Asbestice…In homes. Unfortunatly it is easier to pick on the smoker then to pick on what is really causing lung distress…Like a Million dollar company that no person will touch… I don’t know your dads life…But it could have been the air at his job…Or a childhood home that had a Radon problem…I been around too many smokers all my life & no one died from it…But everyone does have a time to die..whether you smoke or not..Brainwashing media has you fooled w/millions of others…Explain to me why children who never smoked a day in their lives get lung cancer? More non-smokers then smokers get it. I don’t know why everyone is scared of dying it is a manditory part of life…I don’t want to live forever & I’m 52 now…Too Damn expensive & the stress of money will kill me faster then any cigarette will. But those bills have to be paid…Please smarten up! If we have to live here right now today, because we don’t know what will happen tomorrow? Let’s just be happy & to live & let live! Peace Linda

Everyone has the right to do what ever they wish…. even if its without thought of consequence!

let me tell you of my story…. my father was a smoker and quite aged 55 by then the damage was done and he had COPD over the next 20 years my father gradually had a slow and painful death… and with me being his only relative I spent the last 3 years looking tending and caring for him, from ringing the ambulance when he couldn’t breath to when he lost conscious cracked his head open from washing him and cooking to spending hours in a and e and then more days/ months in a ward, I lived with him as he couldn’t be left alone for long he was on oxygen all day and all night just so he could breath and this was all while he was mentally fine and very young minded so he knew what pain and misery he was going though. The last time he was in hospital he begged me to get him home he was so low and depressed ……. I brought my father home to die, it was the hardest thing I ever had to do was sit there day and night until he died.

Smoking was the cause if all this, over the years it damaged his wind pipe and lungs till only a quarter of his left lung worked but he felt fine prior to this but bit by bit the last 20 years of his life was controlled by it getting worse and worse taking a bit more of the man who had always looked after me away till he couldn’t do a thing for himself but then he didn’t just die he spent 3 years like this fully aware of everything that was happening.

Just because your ok jack many many people around the world are not and did you know the COPD is one of the largest killers in the uk and America and the majority of this is due to smoking.

I looked after my father while having a full time job … I slept little and for outside people it was very hard to comprehend my situation.

Smoking is up to you but would you want your children to look after you day and night to watch you die prematurely for something that you could have stopped, do you want to but them through the stress and pain of seeing all that, I love my father and I miss him every day but if he knew earlier on what smoking could do im sure he would of stop as he wouldn’t of wanted me to go though what I did, let alone his own suffering.

Oh, By the way, In Scotland where the Idiotic smoking bans were first intoduced. Heart attacks increased since the bans started. Stress induces heart attacks. Smoking is a stress reliever. Studies are showing that smoking does help stress. The greedy money hungry world is stressful. So why would anyone want to live forever anyway? I don’t!

Sick of lies on cigarette scare tactics that don’t work! I am a smoker for 36 years now. I laugh at all the “scary” advertisements that they put out to scare smokers into quitting. At least it’s SUPPOSED to. Been around secondhand cigarette smoke for over 51 years and have been smoking 36. I’m fine! That’s why I have to laugh! And all my smoker friends are doing fine, also. People that drink have it worse than we do–at least we don’t kill anybody when we drive with a cigarette as they do drinking! With all the problems in the world like mass genocide and drug use–ACTUAL drug use–smokers should be the least of your problems! I enjoy smoking and I speak for other smokers when I say it’s not working. You spend all this money on a losing battle. We are all gonna die anyway, whether we smoke, don’t smoke, or live in a bubble. We still die. It’s a part of life. Why can’t you idiots accept it? Thank you.
