Smoking ban: Nightmare for those left out in the cold
Parkinson Lane, Halifax.
WHAT is more anti-social than being discriminated against for smoking?
It is not illegal, you know, and it is not obscene and it is not an illegal substance – so why are we treated as if it is, with smokers standing outside hospitals, banks and shops? It is terrible to treat us like this.
I go out for a drink once a week to see friends. It's becoming a nightmare, standing on street corners.
I am not asking for people to sit in a pub while I smoke round them. But for God's sake give us somewhere covered and warm.
I am a high taxpayer. Give us some respect. Stop treating us like lepers.
