Smoking Outside the Ground - Time to be banned

[parano1a]

Hopefully this is actually enforced, unlike the smoking bans on hospital premises...

People want everything banned that they don't like. What is wrong with the world these days? Whatever happened to just dealing with something you don't like and moving on. Why does it have to be illegal because you don't like it!?

Live gambling on sports- illegal because a few people didn't like something that never affected them anyway. Not to mention there's plenty of ways around it and there's still live betting on horse races.

There's a heap more examples but I will be rambling. The world will be a better place if everyone could just live and let live.

I don't like kids crying when I go outside my house , but I don't expect kids to be banned from shopping centres or football matches or public transport or existing. There's things that shit me on a daily basis but that's life, I don't expect the world to march to the beat of my drum. That's the difference between me and someone like OP, that and I'm better

Should also have some dedicated patrols to fine all the people that squash their used butts on the ground.

Try telling someone it is banned is likely to lead to your death.

Except your consumption of any of those items cannot give others cancer.

LMAO at the dying breed. All this huff and puff over one of the more unenjoybale things for the majority.

 

[Power Raid]

Smoking should be banned from city limits

 

[Off The Couch]

Don't know what the issue is - bit of fresh air and a walk will do you good

Turn off the TV and travel.

I am a smoker and I don't care, if they tell me to walk a km away and I want a smoke I will.
Do we live in a nanny state? Yes of course we do but it's to hard to try and fight it so just accept it and move forward.

 

[Adz]

So no smoking outside of MCG anymore.

 

[Snake_Baker]

This society has become a nanny state driven disgrace.

They won't stop until you think and act just like they do.

Unhealthy slobby fast food parents feeding their kids crappy foods gives them cancer other obesity related illnesses. These parents aren't banned or penalised....

It seems like only yesterday we were arguing about whether smoking should or shouldn't be banned in the workplace

Smokers to be moved to the grass area.

Nice. I love seeing smokers get upset that they don't have the freedom they want. Filthy campaigners deserve it.

I see you're happy persecuting minorities so you should be happy persecuting smokers...who are in the minority.

I'm fairly libertarian and you can do whatever you like as long as it doesn't affect others but I've had to inhale other people's smoke for decades and most smokers I see don't give a damn about disposing of their butts correctly. Smoke yourself silly at home though.

Public displays of slavery aren't cool. Smoking nazis are some of the biggest flogs around.

Slavery? Alright drama queen.

As a smoker there is only one thing that shits me.
The government said we can't smoke inside at pubs or anywhere else which I think is the best thing that they have ever done. But at pubs we were told we must go outside, so of course we did. The pubs themselves made areas for us smokers outside be them beer gardens, terraces etc. so everyone was happy right?
Wrong, the non smokers decided all of a sudden they now want to eat outside in those areas that the smokers were told to go. So what happens is we had to move again. Just my own minor complaint but as I said earlier you smoke where you are allowed and it's no issue.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

The ironic thing is Id imagine most who visit the food vans during breaks would be smokers.

The MCG spokesperson should be called on his comments re a safe workplace. If the MCG was concerned about the environment they could have done this on its own free will.
