Give smokers private areas to get their fix

A SMOKING ban will drive the tobacco smokers on to the street and into shop
doorways. Instead of discouraging tobacco smoking, a ban will do the
opposite by introducing children to the habit.

How many mothers smoke at the school gates?

Surely tobacco smokers should have places such as Amsterdam-style coffee
shops where they can get their fix of nicotine in private? They are, after
all, drug addicts of a sort.

As a non-tobacco smoker, I object in the strongest terms to sharing
someone's stale exhaled tobacco smoke. It is a basic human right to breathe
fresh air.

If I choose to smoke cannabis (unlike tobacco, cannabis is not addictive),
I do so in private, not on the street or at school gates, where children
are present.
