PM Amal bans smoking

It is 2025 - Our glorious prime minister, Amal, has changed the law to make smoking illegal - she claims it is evil and deadly and has no place in civilised society.

What do you think? should it be banned or is it an infrinegment of individual rights to ban it?
Please state your reasons to back up your argument.

Consider this also - might she decide to ban motorvehicles and sunbathing for the same reason?

Think about it.....

did u spot my typo?
tonks came up with some really smart ideas reaging the banning thing - she extrapolated that it wasn't fair to ban personal transportation by motorvehicle when we could just invent cleaner fuels. afterall, private motor vehicles give us freedom, flexibility, safety [from other people - for example, four guys tried to mug me on a train once in london], and even recreation - like allowing us to explore off the beaten track where buses and trains don't go or stop.
as for smokers - we must be fair - many smokers of our parents generation were unaware of the perils when they started and it is a highly addictive substance which is hard to give up.
well done for thinking and making posts.

I say down with smoking, however I feel that the car thing should only be banned if we down find a cheaper, cleaner fuel. While I was in Christchurch my Dad was reading a fiction book where atomic/nuclear power was harnessed at a level where there was no change of a plant exploding or something.

Hey Everyone!! I just found out that the government has banned ownership of mobile phones for all NZers under 16 from the 1st of May!!! What do you guys think about this? I think it's stupid!!

I think that it's a good idea to ban smoking, becoz it does wreck your lungs and can give you cancer. Also, I can't see what's so gr8 about it. All it does to u is kill u.
But sunbathing (though it burns u) is okay if you don't do it for too long, and u neede cars if you're going to Wellington from Hamilton or something. But it's true that if u can get it, public transport is a gr8mand cheaper way to get around. Have NE of u considered designing a vehicle that doesn't consume too much fuel, or a way to smoke that is safe and healthy to the smokers and other people around?

Adios amigos-gatos RULE!
