    Looks like the English and Welsh are to follow the Jocks in setting a minimun price on Swally. It has been uttered the odd time over here too. Bastards. Where will this **** end? Standing freezing out the front of the pub so you can have a smoke now getting bumped on the price of a few beers in the house. ****ing health Nazis.

    Smokers could always quit <ok>

    Then they could stand inside the pub where it is warm and not stale and minging.

    My 79 year-old father-in-law will lose out if a minimum price comes in as he's fond of a slab of John Smiths or two.

    Punishing the majority who just like to have a couple of drinks at home because a minority can't keep a ****ing hold on themselves and go out without getting absolutely legless.

    Try educating people instead of punishing the majority.

    I'm not a smoker but if people wanna smoke, let them. Don't make them jump through every obstacle for a *** whilst lecturing people about how dangerous it is but being all too happy to take all the tax you make from it.

    Nazi government ****s. **** off Cameron you wax faced **** stain.

    He's a well-off pensioner Ciaran. It won't deter him.

    However, I do have some sympathy for those who like a few cans in their home now and then. And some health charities are already warning that this won't stop binge drinking.

    The problem is Jordan is that smoking impacts on other people. I'm delighted about the smoking ban in pubs, at least you don't get secondary smoke and your clothes don't reek of the damned stuff.

    As we are a civilised and cosmopolitan nation the best thing to do would be to ban alcohol. The benefits of this policy outweigh the the argument in favour of alcohol.

    1. The social disorder at weekends in most of our towns and cities would disappear.
    2. The general health of the population would improve with less drain on the Health Service.
    3. Muslims would feel more welcome to reside in our country.
    .....and most importantly.....
    4. The beer goggles will no longer be an excuse for shagging a minger.

    What about the fumes off cars? People knew the score with pubs, people smoked and drank in them. The smpking ban zeolets could have opened non smoking pubs but they knew no **** would go.

    Smokers would stand in a hurricane to get their fix.

    At least you are on the ball, Ciaran. Try telling local and national government or whoever is responsibly for it to get some of these lousy stinking vehicles off of roads. Cleaner air all round ought to be the target.

    In the same way he would if any product that he buys goes up in price? For a smart poster, the example of your father in law, was a piss poor one!<ok>

    Don't people wash their clothes after a night out then?

    And as for passive smoking and all this terrified mania that sweeps the country about it. Isn't it a touch ironic for your mate at the table telling you to **** off outside if you want a *** because he's worried about the "dangers" whilst necking his 8th pint of lager? You can say "well that only effects him", a little bit of passive never hurt anybody.

    Country has lost it's backbone nowadays <ok>
