[@Truth-warrior-j3e]

@@WeiShiQiang its a reasonable point you make - drawing a line is the issue.The issue with smoking that sets it apart from just about everything else (alcohol abuse would be the closest example but is still nowhere near comparable) is that Smoking is widely recognized as a leading cause of preventable death and disease. While individuals may choose to smoke, there is a strong awareness of the significant health risks associated with it. Smoking also typically begins at a young age, sometimes before individuals fully comprehend the long-term consequences. Over time, nicotine addiction can reduce the capacity for voluntary choice, making it harder for individuals to quit despite the known risks. As of recent data, around 60-70% of smokers in the UK express a desire to quit smoking. Surveys and studies consistently show that a significant majority of smokers are aware of the health risks associated with smoking and have the intention to quit, even if they have not yet been successful in doing so. That puts smoking very much at the extreme end of the line you legitimately mention.

It's not often I agree with Farage, but on this one I'm with him 100%. Stopping smoking in pub gardens is going too far, Starmer. Do it and you'll never get my vote, no matter how bad the Tories are.

[@PurplePeopleEater00.00.7]

well, you еnglish shеерle deserve all this crap! who allowed this? YOU!

[@janicehopwood9528]

​@VeryOldMan-r6eso you're saying that children can't be subjected to the "addiction" that you consider to be smoking, but they can sit next to people swigging addictive alcoholic beverages without it having any influence on them? If these impressionable minds are exposed to any addictive substances, surely drinking in a pub garden should also be banned by your reckoning.

[@joeS163]

@VeryOldMan-r6edon’t take your kids to the pub then you div.

[@MSM4U2POM]

@VeryOldMan-r6e Two things. Firstly, if you don't like your kids watching people smoke, then don't bring them to the place where they are most likely to see people smoking: the pub! Secondly, it may be a "vile addiction" to you, but to me and several million others it is a pasttime we genuinely enjoy (and don't even try to tell me we don't), so kindly do us all a favour and mind your own business. Self-righteous little zealots like you always think your opinion is the only one that matters.

[@izdatsumcp]

banning smoking in pubs at all is going too far. if you don't want to inhale smoke, don't go to a place where people are smoking. pretty simply stuff but people want to place restrictions on others before they take responsibility themselves

Nigel should be PM we need a man who get a life and not a puppet

I bet MPs will still be able to smoke in the bars in Parliament

[@sueo7834]

Why is he just picking on smokers?? Alcohol drinkers are just as bad, not to mention sweets and carbs ....Smoking, alcohol drinking and obesity are all bad so why not ban the lot??

[@andyt3304]

Ban Breathing as well

[@tobywareing6435]

Once s=they ban smoking they will go for Alcohol next, then something else after that. It's just one thing at a time because if they decided to ban everything all together then the whole country would be angry.

[@TNPTVconnect]

Totally agree

[@JoeClark-ne9il]

Nigel for how new leader

[@gherkamum]

Pubs will shut down under 2 Tier Keir........

[@Lorraine-p4r]

Good .

[@bobnixon7123]

I don't know if they're still allowed but while everyone stood out side when the smoking bann came in all the so called leaders of this now💩hole were still clanging them off at the parlement bar and drinking subsidised alcohol at our expense

[@michael.randall5034]

Hi, I think you have to give people freedom and a choice. How do you enforce it? I hate smoking and have never done so. It will help destroy pubs and clubs.

[@HelloRando]

Yep well that's what they want lol

[@nonono9194]

Pubs are a big social setting for the indigenous people. Can't be having them all conversing with each other now can we

It's about control of the people and it's just the start.

[@Toffeeblue75]

The smoking ban back in 2007 literally finished off most local pubs . It'll be the end . People will just stay at home.

[@Ukmongoose3]

Sadly, we already do. The cost of drinking out now is prohibitive alone.

[@fluxington]

People wil leave there pint on the bar and walk around the block.

[@teddyboysdontknit810]

Considering pubs have been in decline for years, and only survive now by offering food you think allowing smokers while people eat is good?

[@Atom-56]

@@teddyboysdontknit810 All the pubs I know, that serve food, have tables inside with condiments like salt and pepper on them. How are they affected by smokers. People who eat at the pub, have a choice where they sit.
