The smoking ban

Guest

It's my view that it should be up to the owners of individual establishments,ie

Pub,Cafe's etc as to whether or not they allow smoking .There are very good

ventilation systems available if they wish to set aside smoking area's.

Regarding hospitals,I believe it isnot even permitted to smoke in hospital

grounds now,nothing worse than seeing some poor soul dressed in dressing

gown and slippers having to nip outside the hospital gates for a fag especially

if they happen to be a mental health patient.

The visitors should be considered too,it can be very stressful vising a

hospital,last thing you need is having to smoke outside in the pouring rain

with a dying relative in intensive care.Again area's could be set aside with

ventilation systems.

Glad you said that Ska ....yes it is a debate and discussion and everyone is entitled to their opinion..
And you know what mine is ....There is a lot of stuff we eat and drink and smell and if we did this and did that we would never have a life ....but you know as well as i do that smoking causes lung disease ....If you drink to much and i mean really drink you will get liver damage ...but do you know that if you stop drinking for a while your liver repairs itself ...no im not saying it does if your an alcoholic...but your lungs DONT repair themselves your breathing may get a little easier ....

alcohol causes more than liver failure, it can cause many other illnesses and also the devastating collateral damage, 7,000 victims of drunk drivers, 125,000 instances of alcohol-related domestic violence and 39,000 sexual assaults. About 1.3 million children are harmed by excessive drinking in the family.

Even though the heavy regular drinker may not become drunk, damage to the internal organs may still happen. This increases the risk of liver cirrhosis, stomach ulcers, heart disease, strokes and some cancers.

Alcohol is a depressant and many heavy drinkers have mental health problems.

Alcohol often contributes to problems with family, relationships, work, finances and crime.

Only
15%
of smoke from a cigarette is inhaled by the smoker. The other 85%
goes directly into the air and is known as second
hand smoke. Second hand smoke is a combination of: mainstream smoke, which
is the smoke inhaled and then breathed out AND Sidestream smoke, which
is the smoke coming from the cigarette between puffs.

Sidestream smoke has more tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide and other
chemicals that cause cancer than the smoke inhaled through the cigarette
itself! All second-hand smoke contains cancer-causing chemicals! Passive
smoking is the breathing in of the second-hand smoke produced by other
people's cigarettes.

In the short-term
The smoking ban - Page 2 Cig%20passive

Exposure
to passive smoke leads to immediate problems such as irritation of the
nose, eyes or throat, coughs, nausea, dizziness and headaches. Every year
in the U.K 17,000 children under five years of age are admitted to hospitals
because of illnesses related to passive smoking. The risk of cot death
is greatly increased in children who have been exposed to smoke either
during pregnancy, or at home if one or both parents smoke.

In the long term
Consequences are much more serious- passive smoking contributes to the
development of lung cancer, heart disease and stroke. And… As they grow
older children are almost 3 times more likely to start smoking if their
parents do.

Everyone at times is
a passive smoker, and passive smoking is not just an annoyance, it's a
health risk! So the next time one of your friends lights up in front of
you, fire off these facts:

Secondhand smoke
can produce six times the pollution of a busy motorway when in a crowded
room.

Secondhand smoke
kills about 3,000 nonsmokers each year from lung cancer

Secondhand smoke
causes wheezing, coughing, colds, earaches and asthma attacks.

Secondhand smoke
fills the air with many of the same poisons found in the air
around toxic waste dumps.

Hey Star Lets see which is most dangerous..... locking yourself in a garage with a car engine running or locking yourself in a garage with say 20 people smoking, as we know the first option would kill you Ding
