But if you still wanted it, you could get it, non?

It would be more of a hassle.

My mistake, I'm sorry, I don't really read your posts.

Don't even bother arguing the point.

To Busy logic means "what makes sense to me, don't ever actually look at the facts they might be inconvenent. Let's just stick to what I "know" to be true."

Let's be honest here, the chap has a point. Youngsters go out of their way not to do things which aren't allowed. Heaven forbid that they would do something just because it was against the rules. That's just mad talk.

Funny, Im doing an essay on this topic right now. I dont think smoking should be banned, I think the price of cigarettes should be so high that people stop buying them, and stop sharing them with other peoples.

Like 25$ a pack.

So only the rich could smoke?

Although 25$ is only a little over double their current price here anyway

Exactly, because poor people are just getting poorer spending money on smokes, and they cant afford the healthcare once they do get get sick.

Win win.

I want to ask your views on if it became law that smoking was banned

I seriously can't see any goverment banning smoking simply due to the massive revenue they get from it, the whole argument of cost of lung cancer treatment vs. revenue from smoking we done on here a while back with the results being that revenue wins by a landslide. To much money involved to ban.

and how would the people react?

Thats a tricky one, as some have said about the prohibition thing in the States, but as smoking is becoming less and less socially acceptable I don't know if the outcry would be near as extreme as some would believe.

Would they still smoke?

Yes. No doubt at all.

Do you think that a smoking free world is bound to happen?

Possibly but I think that time is quite a way off again mainly due to the amount of money to be made by goverments.

Personally I would love to see a smoke free world, wish I'd never started and will quit at some point when I'm ready.
