In the UK it is illegal to smoke in your car with children on board. It is also illegal to smoke in the work place. The health statistics are overwhelmingly conclusive on how dangerous it is especially for children.
But why is it perfectly legal to smoke in your home when you have children living there?
The people in the flat below us smoke like a fucking forest fire with the poor young boy living there being forced to inhale their poison. Their smoke is also seeping through our floor boards and flooding in to our flat whenever we open our windows and is poisoning my two young children. In what world is it fair that two selfish fucking pricks are legally within their rights to force children to breathing in damaging fumes, all because they are to lazy to walk outside and step away from the building.
I'm not hating on smoking. I smoked for 8 years. But I always considered other people when I smoked and stepped as far away as possible as it is quite clearly dangerous for your health and who was I to inflict that damage onto someone else.
