smoking

Is smoking really as bad as people think, if a person smokes does it make them bad.
Smoking should be down to a persons choice, but recent government legislation seems to be taking that choice away. How dare they try to tell people where and when they can smoke. From the summer of 2007 people in England will not be able to smoke in pubs, clubs, restaurants or public spaces. I think that it's just a simple easy way for the government to try and take control over the publics lives. For more info on the the new smoking ban click below.
