After the smoking ban in the UK, what do you think will be/should be banned next?

Veritas

You have recognised, rightly in my view, that banning things tends to create a momentum to ban other things. That's how control freaks operate. When people agree with a particular ban, they will support it out of self interest, but in so doing, they fail to realise, that something that they enjoy, may eventually be banned. So, in the interests of all, it is usually better to be more tolerant toward other peoples irritating habits, before you jump aboard the banning bandwagon. Intolerance breeds hatred which breeds persecution.

Oh it's not that bad. We have restaurants that won't allow smoking too in the US. It is becoming a fact of life everywhere. I am a smoker too, however, when I smoke in a restaurant the waitresses get exposed to my smoke. If I choose to smoke that is one thing. Is it fair for them to be exposed to it if they choose not to smoke? I was in Swansea Wales last summer. We were no longer allowed to smoke in the community section of the hotel, however, I could still smoke in my room.

Banning smoking is great.... I dont want that smell on me everytime i go to the pub and inhale your passive smoke.... as for fatty foods etc, as long as they dont harm others like smoking can than its up to the person eating..... I take it your a sore smoker then? lol

Smoking hasn't been banned in the UK.. and it never will be.

It has been banned in PUBLIC places.

But to answer your question - I think spitting in public should be banned next because it's almost as disgusting and offensive as someone blowing smoke in your face, or even in your general vicinity. And let's face it, all sorts of diseases are contracted through saliva (bodily fluids). Someone with HIV and a vendetta against humanity could just go around spitting on anyone.

I suggest very high calorie sweets for obese children.

Hospitals, i have heard a lot of people die in hospitals and people with dangerous diseases go there so they are very dangerous place's and the government are doing there best to close them

Why don't they just cage us all up and tell us what we can do? A tax on the air we breathe may be next, if you don't pay your tax you die! This country has had it, it's all rubbish, yes cars cause pollution, but why don't they solve it in other ways rather than taxing everything. How much of that money actually goes back into the environment? Not much I'll bet! They want cars off the road, and yet I read that Gordon Brown wants to put the train fares up substantially to deter people from using them at peak times!!! (When everybody has to work) We can't win, all that wins is the government and these stupid MP's who get bumper salaries and pensions etc!

im guessing that you are a smoker then?! i think its a good thing that they are banning it. i mean people that smoke in public are affecting peoples health around them and not just themselves which is not the same as somebody eating a greasy burger as they are only affecting themselves! If people want to smoke then thats fine but they should so it away from people that dont want to smoke or to smell the awful things and have to breathe it in anyway.

I think we (the people) should ban this government. Other things we should ban:

Lawyers who enter politics
any moron who says "hug a hoodie"
fuel duty
road tax ( hardly any of it is spent on the roads anyway)
inheritance tax ( taxing money that's already been taxed is unjust)
tax on pensioners (they're old, and have paid their dues)
trade unions
police who don't have a degree in criminology and ethics
any idiot who thinks humans can change nature
hate pedalars ( no matter religion, ethnic backround)
anyone who says I can't defend myself, family and property, by whatever means available.
current corrupt immigration officals
open immigration
uncertified tradesmen, plumbers, electrians, builders etc.
censorship
any one person who thinks they know whats best for everyone
aid to Africa ( throwing money at them hasn't helped in the past, it's not going to help now)
anyone who tries to convince people theory is fact
repeat offenders
pedophiles

Where should we ban them....space, preferably towards the sun.
500 years ago if we were treated the way we are being treated now, we would revolt and cut the head of our leader off. I think it's time to lop off the head of this undemocratic, self serving, lieing, thieving, corrupt serpent called government.

I think people smoking while you try to eat is disgusting and rude.

I don't know anyone who enjoys eating out in a smokey pub or restaurant.

I am amazed how slow we are to ban it from public places!

Did you know Ireland had banned smoking in their pubs before England banned it in hospitals?

Bonkers!!!

It isn't anything to do with the so called "Nanny Government". This is more about GOOD MANNERS which seems to have no place in our narrow minded selfish society anymore.

Ban winter - too many people getting sick and costing the NHS millions. Think of all those people who will be happy with the warmth!!! :)

Or ban drunk teenagers - they are a real risk to you health, a meeting with them could make you fear for your life!!

How about the dole.

Don't know what will be next, as for smoking ban in UK, it is not all of the UK that will be banned as from July, Ireland already been banned for 2 years, Scotland for 1 year, so you can be sure that whatever is next on the agenda it will be tried out not in England but in Scotland or Ireland, same as with the poll tax, can't upset the English so we (the government) will try it on Scotland first so as not to upset the majority of the voters if it don't work out

How comfortable would life be if the BNP got into power? How would they go about banning immigration and chucking out immigrants and liberals in a nice way?

Maybe not a ban but there will deffo be limitations on the 'bad' foods we buy. Maybe on one chocolate bar per customer per purchase etc.
perhaps everytime we go in a shop we have to have our i.d cards scanned to make sure we haven't been to mcdonalds that week so that we can have a bag of crisps.

They seem to have an idea that the whole country is going to be obese in a few years but what cack are they filling our children's head with? They can take things too far and is it any cheaper to treat an underweight person than an overweight person
