Ban

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Going back to smoking bans which I and someone else mentioned, I don't even see an issue. On the grounds of personal responsibility, property owners rights, freedom to choose, and the right of a pub owner to make a living, smoking bans in pubs and clubs are completely wrong and unjustified.

I don't think that's true. (plus the law has little to do with fairness).

Harm from passive smoking is well established as factual. That makes it a public health issue.

Here smoking is banned:

In all Government buildings, all pubs,clubs, restaurants ,casinos,shops and department stores. All public transport including planes in Australian air space.

It is an offence here to smoke in a car in the presence of a minor child.

Adelaide city council is considering a smoking ban in Rundle Mall, the city's largest open air mall.


I support almost any action short of making it illegal to end the social evil of tobacco use. I wan to see smoking banned everywhere except in the privacy of one's home

Passive smoking is the inhalation of smoke, called secondhand smoke (SHS) or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), from tobacco products used by others. It occurs when tobacco smoke permeates any environment, causing its inhalation by people within that environment. Scientific evidence shows that exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke causes disease, disability, and death.
