Some people clearly have nothing better to moan about
Clicky
You know, it doesn't even surprise me that such moronic spoutings are supported by a council either.
FFS why is it that the mantra in the UK seems to be one of regulating against others...?

Type the word ...'smoking' ...as many times as you can ...before they ban that as well. 'smoking' 'smoking' 'smoking' 'smoking' 'smoking' 'smoking' 'smoking'
I wonder, if from now on the only people who were smoking in movies were the bad guys, would it help get rid of or at least lessen the phenomenon?
What a load of crap.
Besides, if drug usage or people drunk off their faces is acceptable in movies it's a bit daft to ban smoking.
Glancing through the comments section on the BBC, it does make me just a little bit happy that I cannot find one post that actually supports the idea (in a non-sarcy way). Maybe this might actually be good for smokers in that it will make people realise just how completely unfair, unwarranted and ultimately fascist the demonisation of smokers really is...
I hate it the way smoking has now become the whipping boy for the nation's ills.
Someone needs a serious lesson in statistics and causation.
There are plenty of guns in films, even in kiddie ones. No danger of banning those from appearing in films, I suppose... :rolleyes:
Not unless they re-rate Casblanca or Breakfast at Tiffanies as 18's lol.
But does one cause the other, you might as well say one in two children who see Thomas the tank engine puff smoke might go onto smoke. There is a big difference between causation and correllation.
All the news shows have to go. Has anyone seen the amount of despicable shit that goes on in their reports?
It's not about fiddling really. It's about having your views forced onto others.
The "I don't like what you are doing, so I will campaign to have you stoped through law"... that's just wrong.
But generally I mean, look around you. How many laws/by-laws are being enforced purely because it's something which annoys someone else... smoking ban, no drinking in high street, homeless moved on, ASBOs etc...
