will there ever be a smoking ban

Over the past few years Ive noticed that smoking cigarettes has become pretty restricted. You cant smoke in bars or in many public places and the tax on cigarettes is increasing. Does anyone think they might just flat out ban cigarettes just like weed or other illegal substances.will there ever be a smoking ban
I hope not, I like smoking.will there ever be a smoking ban
Nope, I don't think they will
I doubt it just because of the sheer amount of people who are addicted and taxes from cigarettes brings a lot of money into the government. Its getting too hard to be a smoker though. I've been one for the past four years, but as of today it has been a week since I've had a cigarette. I had to quit because I can't afford the habit anymore. I rolled my own cigarettes and a bag of tobacco used to cost about $15, but with a HUGE tax increase on April 1st it went up to $40.
Nope, I hope more people start smoking so the average lifespan is in the 50s and 60s again! That way there's less people who'll get social security checks! :P
I highly doubt they'll ever ban smoking.
Remember when they tried to ban Alcohol? How do you think the general public would react to a substance they've become physically as well as mentally addicted being banned?



... The horror!

... I should have never quit.
I don't think they will and they shouldn't. Smoking helps a lot of people calm down.
There has been a smoking ban in pubs in Ireland and England... and I can say the pubs feel much more refreshing if you're a non smoker.Before the ban came in, they were filled with smoke which was uncomfortable if you didn't smoke cigarettes.Anywhere other than bars though, I don't agree with a smoking ban.
No, I am just happy having it outlawed in bars and restaurants (where I live at least). Where I work, cigs are $6.50, still doesn't stop people
Probably in the future. Causing too much chaos.

you know for $6 or so you can get your own box of prerolled cigerattes
No, too many people will disagree.
I highly doubt that people aren't going to like the government very much if they do ban smoking

Think of the tax revenue that would be lost if cigarettes were banned, especially considering they are raising taxes on the product.I have a question, could local governments potentially ban cigarettes?
[QUOTE=''KG86'']I hope not, I like smoking.[/QUOTE]Same here, it would suck.
I hope so.

2 packs a day = $12 = $84 a week When I rolled my own the average cost would have been $1.50 a pack which = $3 a day = $21 a week. Not bad at all, but with the recent tax increase rolling my own cigarettes would increase to $4 a pack = $8 a day = $56 a week. Even with the increase it would still be cheaper to roll, but not nearly as cheap as it was and its giving me enough reason to quit.
