Why are tobacco smokers facing fines when a pot smoker only gets a caution?



    




"we dont do duvets"...
Pot's are for putting plants in and if you smoke them it's like smoking Bill and Ben and that's not nice now is it lol :)

Here here. i am currently in the process of quiting smoking which costs me every time i need the patches, Heroin addicts pretend they want to quit their habit and they get their methadone for free, wheres the justice in that?

That's an excellent point! Speaking as a pot smoker, too.

how many potsmokers are not also cigarette smokers? both are breaking the law... and if the lobby against smoking cigarettes gets any stronger, the lobby to legalize and domesticate marijuana will be up in smoke.

CAN SEE YOUR POINT HOWEVER YOU DON'T OFTEN GET PEOPLE SMOKING POT IN A CONFINED PUB DO YOU, WELL NOT THE PUBS I GO IN. AS FROM NOW THE POT SMOKER WOULD GET A CAUTION AND A FINE FOR SMOKING IN THE PUB.

because theres more open smokers and its easier to fine them, also fake police ie street wardens can hand out the fines but i don't think they have the power to arrest people

That's a very good question! Ask your MP! In fact most (over 17 yr olds) smokers wouldn't even get a caution just have their cannabis confiscated. Madness, absolute madness

A pot smoker will get a fine and a caution if they do it in a public place!

Well done. The difference is that pot smokers cannot smoke in public places either otherwise they will also be fined.

Because the twisted pc mob consider the pot smoker to be a victim of his upbringing/social status blah blah blah - they think he needs counselling, support and a free trip to Alton Towers.

hey smoke both and double your chances.

Pot smokers in most states get a lot more than a caution. And if someone was smoking pot in public they would be arrested. Why don't cigarettes smokers get a caution when they get caught with a pack on them?

Where do you live?
I'm sure there are times when both violators are let go and times when both violators are prosecuted. It depends on the severity of the violation and how and if it harmed other people. It depends on the judge to review each case and enforce the spirit of the law. Each law

I guess tobacco smoke is worse than pot.
