The government had already pledged to resurrect Rishi Sunak's flagship smoking ban, which was shelved before the election. But Sir Keir Starmer's government could now go further.

    Why should the government have any say over this.

    Because they’ll be the ones paying if you get cancer?

      Not just him, it’s also negatively affecting other people around him. The smoke doesn’t just stop at an invisible barrier where the smoking area ends and the non-smoking area begins.

        And I don’t think the staff are being paid more for taking on the additional risk.

          I don’t see what the fuck you’re talking about here. Tax the cigarettes to compensate for the extra cost of medical care for the smokers and don’t infringe upon people’s freedoms. I don’t see what’s so complicated about that. Only the people who are costing the government money are paying the additional tax for the costs they themselves are causing. Are you fucking stupid or what?

              So you’re just the stereotypical boomer who hates anything getting taxed? might surprise you but a lot of these are young kids that you seem to be joking about are actually adults now and they can vote and hopefully we vote to abolish your fucking aged care.

      This is why the American system is superior. You have the freedom to get cancer if you want, you just have to pay for it yourself instead of relying on handouts from govmunt. Don’t tread on me.

          I called your mum. It’s not too late for her to have a postnatal abortion.
