Quote: phil wrote in post #22308People who have had a fag don't go home and beat up the wife and kids. Or they don't wander round the city centre looking for a fight. They also don't smash things up just for fun and most of all they don't climb into their cars and kill people. By the way drinking causes as much damage to your health as smoking does.
Smokers may not do these things because they have had a fag, but as they are generally ignorant of the people around them they are the sort of people I expect to be more likely to do these things anyway.

Good Morning All,
Volty
Sorry mate but smoking doesn't alter your body chemistry in a way that it makes you want to do some of the things I listed earlier. Any hospital worker will tell you that they treat just as many (if not more) victims of alcohol as they do those of tobacco. Lets face your car probably does as much damage as smoking does and people have to walk along the street ingesting the filth that cars pump out. I don't see the anti smoking lobby lining up to ban them.
