Originally posted by torontotrance You are told the hazards yet you choose to ignore them and pollute others, that's the issue here and always has been. If you want to smoke, that is YOUR RIGHT but when that right puts my health at risk then I fight back. So personally I cannot wait till the smoking ban is put into effect because it will sure make my lungs a lot clearer and healthier when I go out. It's about damn time that the city stood up for the rights of most ppl who do not smoke and don't want to breathe the carcinogens and toxic chemicals. now i've said my piece.

Amen! Nothing more needs to be said ... Case closed!

carcinogens = very bad!

StatsCan argues differently

Not smoking increases life
Drinking in moderation might increase

Originally posted by MarkT What is probably much harder to estimate is the healthcare costs that can be directly attributed to cigarettes to see if it's really "worthwhile" for cigarettes remaining legal.

Its definitely much more than what they make off the tax.

I wonder what the healthcare costs related to smoking caused diseases and problems and I bet StatsCan has a figure or estimate. I assume it's mind boggling 10B+ (Canada makes 5B+ or - off taxes for cigs)
