Its a wonderful concept, Democracy and one we can all be involved in. Our MP's are public servants and are there to represent us. Tell your MP you can't smoke so you won't vote and this could really hurt our government who brought in this puritanical smoking ban. Smokers contribute far more tax than they cost to treat, so smokers are beneficial to the countries economy-to expect smokers to go out side, in all weathers to enjoy their smoke is wrong. It is no way to treat honest and law abiding people-it is certainly no way to treat our elderly. Our elderly forced to go outdoors in all weathers to enjoy their "smoke." For the record-we don't want to go back to the old days but we do require smokers to be treated with more respect and for pubs/clubs and bingo halls to have more choice. We require smaller bars to be able to choose if they want to be a smoking bar or not. We would like larger pubs/clubs and bingo halls to be able to have an allocated indoor smoking room should they wish-one that is walled from floor to ceiling and has a door,window and ventilation and where there is no bar or food area. Untill smokers are treated with more respect and more dignity- Can't smoke won't vote
