I don't get it. I'm not in the UK but having read this article on other communities I was very surprised to see so many people support banning smoking.

Yeah it's not healthy but a lot of things aren't. Drinking, fast food, soda, etc etc. Are you gonna go banning all that too? Believe it or not a lot of people are aware of the health effects and made a choice to continue doing so. I think effort would be better spent helping those quit who want to.

Rules:

  1. Be civil. Disagreements happen, that does not give you the right to personally insult each other.

  2. No racism or bigotry.

  3. Posts from sources that aren't known to be incredibly biased for either side of the spectrum are preferred. If this is not an option, you may post from whatever source you have as long as it is relevant to this community.

  4. Post titles should be the same as the article title.

  5. No spam, self-promotion, or trolling.

Instance-wide rules always apply.
