[QUOTE="RadioGuru, post: 116187, member: 1450"] Sorry guys but I support the ban. I am sick and tired of breathing everyone's cigarette smoke and am looking forward to the day it is banned on the footpaths and in parks and so forth. I am also sick and tired of smokers (perhaps not all of them but most) just dumping their butts wherever they feel like it. Smokers may well have some rights but so do non-smokers. A few people here have mentioned the touchy subject of those who throw butts out the window of moving cars during fire bans. Unfortunately not all the bush fires that start this way are found quickly and put out quickly. A number of fires started by cigarette butts that remain lit when disposed of have razed whole suburbs and killed people in the past. It also places the lives of emergency services personnel at risk and we need to remember that these people are not paid, they are volunteers who selflessly ignore their own well being in the name of keeping the rest of us safe. Those who throw their butts on the ground or out the window of cars this way are no better than wanton arsonists. Perhaps this does restrict freedom for a few people though in this case the benefits that will come from it will be worth it. If more people thought about the consequences of their actions then there wouldn't be a need for a nanny state. [/QUOTE]
