Name: Christine Bray on May 17, 2008Comments: I think the smoking ban has changed the way of life many British people enjoyed. The pubs are now empty, the life has gone from them.Smokers now prefer to stay at home, have friends round and buy booze from the supermarket.If the 13 million smokers stopped smoking the Goverment would have to raise Taxes to cover the loss in revenue. That would make the non smokers think again.Flag

Name: Julie Pattison on May 19, 2008Comments: In a so called fairness and equality for all society, the government has not got the right to target or take away the right to smoke in public places. Smokers are being used as a scapegoat for government failings, and business is suffering. This legislation is only the start of peoples freedom being taken away by the "moral crusader's" and they need to be stopped.Flag

Name: Michael Wiffen on Jun 14, 2008Comments: As a non-smoker myself i believe that people should be given a choice. This law closes pubs and drives people into buying alcohol from CORPORATE supermarkets. Checkout the YouTube playlist(link below) on the smoking ban.Flag

Name: Mike Thomason on Jun 21, 2008Comments: I am not only signing the petition to amend the smoking ban, but for every aspect of choice for all, such as a referendum of the EU. We are rapidly becoming a fascist state, in the strictest sense of the word, and the apathy of the general public is allowing our traitorous professional politicians to get away with it.Flag

Name: Phil Hudson on Jun 28, 2008Comments: If anyone asks me why I no longer have anything to do with public society the answer is simple: public society no longer has anything to do with me. When you look back only a few years, nobody would have believed we'd one day live in a society where everything is so restricted by impossibly frustrating laws to the point where you can't even go down the pub and moan about it any more. It's incredible. It's hell. For goodness sake please can we return to a society that at least allows life to be enjoyed as opposed to just tolerated in misery.Flag

Name: Pam Parker on Jun 28, 2008Comments: Ohio senators realize the extreme losses to the hospitality industry in Ohio and want to undo the lies behind the smoking ban passed by voters in 2006. The ballot language: to exempt private clubs and family owned businesses. In reality: NO exemptions for either venues. At least Ohio politicians realize they and we were, as they say "banboozled" by the anti smoking zealots. We were told there would be no harm to business. In 2007, we lost $67.44 MILLION DOLLARS in potential liquor sales. Beer sales down 10%. Coin machine industry (juke boxes, etc.) down 25%-35%, yet these whacko groups are still trying to say there's no harm to business. In fact, the American Lung Association calls us LIARS. US! Hopefully, the UK politicians (wrong term, I'm sorry) will realize what they've done to the UK's pubs and rerturn FREEDOM TO CHOOSE to all business owners and patrons.Flag

Name: Paul Ogden on Jul 1, 2008Comments: Even the pubs I go to, although frequented by nice friendly people are feeling the pinch and when the weather's bad..... I'm a non-smoker and was never bothered by other people smoking. It was just great to EVERYBODY enjoying themselves. Also, where are all the people who complained about the smoke Either still not there or out in the smoking shelters chatting with their mates (witnessed!!).Flag

Name: Kevin Jarvis on Jul 1, 2008Comments: The governement are making a mockery of this nation. Banning smoking in public places has resulted in many businesses closing down and more to follow. If we are supposed to be a European nation then we should be able to ahve the choice whether we smoke or not. The governement tax us big time on tobacco products, alchohol and anything else they can think of to rob us. The next tax will be a farting tax, where they fit meters onto our backsides and charge us for emissions.Flag

Name: Suzanne Collins on Jul 8, 2008Comments: If the government were to start telling us the truth they may not have ruined the experience of a good night out for most of us without having to stand outside puffing like a leper and not have totally ruined so many small pubs and clubs! I was brought up in a pub... what happened to smoke rooms!Flag

Name: Katie on Jul 16, 2008Comments: Police State! It is an absolute joke, who wants to go to a club/pub and have to stand outside practically all night. Smokers would rather stay at home as a rule. There is no tolerance in society anymore for anything, we are just dictated to left right and centre by an incapable and totally inept government. Binge drinking costing taxpayers god knows how much each year in extra policing due to their drunken behaviour is socially acceptable, but put a cigarette in your hand and light up and you are enemy no. 1. I really don't see why all the dull moaning non-smokers should have their pick of any public premises entertainment wise when smokers have to stand outside and pay for NOT being able to hear the music, enjoy the atmosphere etc. Why can't it be up to individual pubs/clubs/restaurants to decide whether their premises are smoking or non-smoking. I am sure that the majority of them would opt for the former...Flag

Name: P. Heather on Aug 7, 2008Comments: Nasty, spitefull, & devisive law. But, probably the only way Nu Labour can show their potency, as they seem to be unable to do sod all about the real problems in our society. I trust the Pharmas out there will be giving Nu Labour a helping hand with their deficient campain budget - 'let us deal our ati smoking placebos directly to the NHS and we will see you alright, know what I mean' .
