We benefit the country
Buying a hugely taxed product (the more than covers the cost of NHS treatment) and we die younger, reducing the strain on pensions for you non smokers... You lot should build me a fucking statue.

I'm not arguing for a total ban, I'm saying I agree with legislating to stop people smoking in their cars with their kids.

WHERES MY FUCKING STATUE?
The problem is that it is a blanket ban that wont be effective because the sort of people that it targets are the sort of people that are cunts and will ignore it. As Batts says up there (using him as a reasonably educated smoker) he doesn't do it around his kids, I know you also state that but the problem, as I see it, is that there is always a draconian approach to these things. It doesn't target the problem.

It's about changing people's mindsets
Of course it won't prevent all instances, but it will make a significant and noticeable difference.
Prohibition rarely works effectively - Cf. drugs policy for the last 50 years

I always find it weird how the only people who are pro a ban seem to be smokers,
and the only people pro these pathetic nagging little "Put the prices up", "Smoke in less than less places" are non-smokers.

Might as well make ashtrays illegal and lighters £5,
