Back in the fifties nearly everone smoked and there was less air pollution.

These days nearly everyone dosen't smoke and there is more air pollution.

These days, more people suffer with asthma and lung diseases.

These days there are more "new" cancers - especially in children.

I think its the man made chemicals from industry and cars, lorries etc that has contributed to these new diseases more than smoking ever did - be it passive smoking or not!!!!

And of course - the government MUST think its OK - because you can smoke in the parliamentary bars!!!!!

I have lost a number of family members to cancer - most of them didn't smoke!

Well - thats my view!!!
