Smoke Ban
September 14th 2006 06:27
According to Wikipedia, by the 1st of July 2007, smoking in nightclubs, pubs, bars and restaurants will be band. This will definitely cause an outrage for many smokers and for people who want to have the occasional smoke when they go out.
It has frightened many nightclub owners because they fear that people will not go out as often to nightclubs if their cigarette is taken away from them. Many people feel that It will eventually become too much of a hassle to exit the building every so often in order to have a cigarette.
However, on the bright side by enacting this law it will help save thousands of lives. People don’t necessarily develop cancer through smoking but they can develop cancer through passive smoking. Statistics state that a passive smoker’s chance of having a stroke is increased by 82%. I’m not a smoker and it’s upsetting to hear that smoking passively can be just as dangerous as actual smoking.
It’s a health and safety issue that should be taken seriously and further more it will not pollute the air we breathe. Hopefull, this ban will encourage smokers in considering the option to quit. As far as I'm concerned I don’t know why anyone would want to smoke a cigarette from a warning packet that has pictures of rotting teeth and diseased limbs.
Have your say on this very controversial issue.
