    I smoked cigarettes for 30 years. I say this is a good thing to do and far overdue.

    Hard disagree. Fuck off nanny state.

    Ban smoking with proven second hand smoke inhalation effects - sure, incredible overreach but at least there’s some semblance of logic, but vaping?

    Just…Why? After 20 years of being studied every which way still no negative health effects at all have been found, not first-hand, not second-hand, but what has been found is that it’s an extremely good smoking cessation device that actually gets people to stop smoking.

    Nah fuck off, bus stops were bad enough but good luck enforcing this, everybody still puffing away at every bus stop and more and more just brazenly on trains and not about to stop anytime soon. Bad enough that not allowing vaping in restaurants/cinemas/cafes/bars is going to utterly obliterate the high street.

      Nice try to derail the conversation.

      This is about smoking tobacco in children playgrounds, outside hospitals and schools. Explaining it again, because there’s also the chance you’re just a bit thick.

      Concerning vaping: Disposable vapes will be banned. That’s it. Wanna rage against that?

      Probably you do so because you got your fodder in the Murdoch papers and just need to regurgitate your breakfast. Judging by the lingo.

      Where does it say they want to ban vaping outside schools & hospitals? This is specifically about smoking.

      I know quite a few people who started vaping, but then smoking as well. Their logic seems really backwards to me, but what do I know…

        Most people i know smoke, then vape to stop smoking and then they do both just to go back to smoking again. It’s just a horrible habit all together. It’s disgusting, unhealthy, cigarette litter is everywhere. In fact it’s so much so everywhere that we just decided that cigarette butts isn’t garbage and can be disposed literally everywhere.

    Typical nanny state

    My house isn’t inside a school or a hospital, therefore I can’t even smoke in my own home. Absolutely raging.

    E: Christ. Sad day when a sarcasm tag is clearly needed on a UK community. /s for the people who didn’t get it.

      I get the sarcasm now but for some reason, I first interpreted the second sentence as a smoker too angry to proofread after fumbling their words.
