Yes, I'm in favour of banning anything that harms the planet unnecessarily. I'm also in favour of restricting anything from causing any level of harm to third parties or their property. So smoking in some places.
I'm not in favour of the total ban, on anything like smoking, vaping, alcohol, drugs, dangerous sports, etc, even if it's dressed up in something like increasing the age limit each year, as I believe it sets a dangerous precedent. I don't believe the government should be dictating what we put in, or do with, our own bodies, and I am against giving them that remit. And it's a known fact that prohibition causes more harm than good anyway.
If I was still a smoker, and somebody mentioned this to me politely, I'd genuinely go out of my way to accommodate them.
Although I know there are dickheads out there unfortunately.
(Cara, my OH, has severe Asthma, her scores on that breathing test thing, they make you go for regularly, are COPD level apparently, but they don't want to diagnose her with COPD as they're hopeful these scores are temporary, due to the fact they believe her asthma was / is allergy related / triggered initially. She still sleeps with the dogs that triggered her asthma!!! 🙈)
P.s the bullsh!t bit was uncalled for, I've said nothing I can't back up with sources, unlike others... 😞 But I 'think' it was tongue in cheek, given the emojis, so I'll take it anyway... 🤣
...and this was literally my first post on the subject. It's all I want, and I don't think that's unreasonable. The person next to me having a pint doesn't stop me enjoying Nick Cave.
Your first post in this seems to be in favour of banning disposable vapes, or at least traders selling them. Are you in favour of banning certain disposable plastics too? I would completely agree with you on all of that. Some things should be banned, shouldn't they? I don't consider that a breach of people's freedom, it's just sensible.
Tbh, I just don't want people smoking next to me when I'm in a dense crowd. It sets off my asthma, and I can't easily get away (nor should I have to give up my spot just because someone needs to soothe their addiction). No regard for people with medical issues shown. That's all I'm saying. The rest of the things said are just your bullsh!t 🤣😅🤣😅
