Smokers are being pushed slowly but surely to the fag-end of society

The car is going to be the next battleground, and with good reason. The car is an enclosed space, even with the windows open, and the dangers (as well as unpleasantness) posed by second-hand smoke are obvious to most... it is still not uncommon to see adults smoking while children (or others) are in their company

I HATE smoking – the smoke, the smell, the taste, the damage that it causes to health – and have never smoked apart from a very brief fleeting period over 25 years ago, but I’m starting to get a little bit sorry for smokers.

Not much, but I have some sympathy all the same for some addicts, especially for older folk who can’t kick the habit but who are finding it increasingly expensive to continue or who are restricted in where they can indulge.
