the only answer then would be to put your money where your mouth is and agree to pay a premium to every pub/cafe/coffee house/restaurant you ever go into to have it a smoke free environment and top up the lost revenue of that establishment by refusing entry to smokers

the economics of it are that whilst non-smokers tend to harp on about the cost to the nhs of treating smokers, they are in complete denial regarding the amount of revenue we contribute to the exchequer.

non-smokers get equal treatment on the nhs but their contribution via taxes will always be a lot lower, so heres a case were a \'minority\' are subsidising the \'majority\'

its a fact you can\'t hide from

Ban tobacco altogether and put 5 pence on income tax. smokers denied their weed would have the extra cash to pay for it, but would the non-smokers be happy to pay it to get what they want

No the non-smokerws want us to smoke but want us caged up like beagles to keep the revenue coming in
