Smokers urged not to smoke at home

Smokers in Glasgow are being urged to extend the nationwide smoking ban in public places to their own homes. A project in the city’s east end has seen 50 people sign up to make their homes smoke free since December.

At least this is voluntary at the moment, however I wouldn't bother as there is a report that is far more reliable than anything published by the NHS or the government that says children exposed to smoke in the home actually benefit by developing an immunity that protects them from lung cancer in adult life.

It certainly did no harm to any of my family going back several generations and they have all lived well past the average expected age and have been happy! Then again, they didn't have the stresses that we have today either, like this pathetic nanny state soon, no doubt, to become a police state.

Claire.
Your Post echos my own feelings on what the 'next logical step' might be, however, lets turn things on their heads and steal their thunder.
Lets all wear yellow stars of David pinned to our coats, instead of red or yellow ribbons, to show our solidarity with other smokers.

Yours
