Smoking ban.... not happy

The smoking ban has been in force in England now for..... what, a couple of years or so now?

Have you noticed what a lot of smokers do now though? They leave pubs/bars/restaurants to go outside to feed their pathetic stinking dirty habit, but only JUST outside of the building, kind of half-in, half-out. What is it with these people? No smoking inside INCLUDES the doorway entrance you muppets, so shift well clear of the building. I shouldn't have to walk through the carcinogenic stinking cloud beng created by a bunch of tabby bastards huddled half-in and half-out of a bar. And equally, if I'm sat inside somewhere, I shouldn't be subjected to a lung-full of the stuff that gets wafted in everytime the bloody door opens.

And don't get me started on people blowing shit-loads of smoke in my general direction when I'm out and about in public..... if I had my way, smoking would be banned in ALL public places, INSIDE AND OUT. Do it in your own homes.

If ever you get into a debate with a smoker about this, they always trot out the line "But if you banned smoking totally in public, less people would smoke, just think about how much the government would lose in tax".

Do me a favour. Yep, the government does raise shit-loads of revenue in tax from smokers..... and then promptly shells it all out again via the squillions of pounds that it costs the NHS in treating illness and disease that is directly attributable to smoking.

I say BAN SMOKING IN ALL PUBLIC PLACES.
