Good Lord No.
Not that I like smoking and smoke, but it's a bit of a huge jump. Who owns "the streets" ? Unless you make smoking altogether an offence, I can't see how you could ban it -- and would that mean everywhere, like "in the desert" "in the wood" "in international waters" - where would you stop.
i tend to smoke after sex, but then I do go at it a bit over enthusiatically.
Boom boom!

Date: 2011-05-14 08:20 am (UTC)Many cafes, pubs, resaurants etc. have their outside smoking areas to the front, next to the pavement. Since it's private land in theory it shouldn't be covered by any ban on smoking in the street, but that makes any street-smoking ban a legal absurdity since smoke doesn't stay in one place. So do they also intend to ban smoking in the outside smoking areas which were made necessary by the ban on smoking inside pubs?
It seems to me that there's a very clear line between reasonable and unreasonable, and this is about five miles beyond that line.
