Topic: Milan bans smoking outdoors
1. Author: GG Riva Date: Thu 2nd Jan 2025. 06:47 As it says on the tin; https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/01/europe/italy-smoking-milan-fashion-intl/index.html Not your average Sunday League player. Reply
2. Author: Tad Allagash Date: Thu 2nd Jan 2025. 09:52 ‘In Turin, it is forbidden to smoke in front of children or pregnant women while outside.’ So you’re supposed to ask random women if they’re pregnant before lighting up? Awkward 😆. Reply
3. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Thu 2nd Jan 2025. 10:15 According to the article it`s mostly symbolic as the authorities concede it would be near impossible to enforce and there is no expectation on private individuals or businesses to do so. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply

Awkward 😆. Hopefully it`ll move the onus on smokers to go and find a very quiet place. I was sitting outside Sainsbury`s a wee while ago and someone came over and started smoking. It`s rank and the sooner it`s banished from society the better. Reply

As much as I can sympathise with thinking its rank etc I honestly think saying something like that should be banished because you don’t like it is crazy. COYP Reply
6. Author: DBP Date: Thu 2nd Jan 2025. 16:29 It’s a bit more than that though. Apart from the passive smoking health risks, people’s clothes stink after standing next to a smoker… If you want to do self harm then fine, but not where it negatively impacts those standing next to you Reply

Apart from the passive smoking health risks, people’s clothes stink after standing next to a smoker… If you want to do self harm then fine, but not where it negatively impacts those standing next to you Aw jeezo! At least come up with new honest arguments against it or be honest and say “I don’t like it so nobody can do it” I don’t think my clothes have ever smelt of cigarettes since the smoking ban came in. Why do people keep wanting to ban things other people do? Will you want to ban something you want to do soon? We should also ban cycling. I mean it’s dangerous to fall off and every so often a pedestrian gets hit. It’s all fine and well saying “nobody is dead” but what would you say if it was you that got struck by a cyclist and had a broken leg? I won’t even mention the youth who always take it to far and do just outright dangerous stuff. I mean whoever sides with a 10yr old drunk on dragonsoop that enjoys these kind of things are just brain dead. COYP Reply
8. Author: DBP Date: Thu 2nd Jan 2025. 17:50 The poster above implied it was only because people didn’t like it and I was pointing out that it does impact those around who choose not to partake. There used to be a guy that smoked at the bus stop I used going to work and I did stink when I arrived - to the point people assumed I was a smoker. Reply

Why did you stand next to the guy smoking if it bothered you? COYP Reply
10. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Thu 2nd Jan 2025. 20:47 When wanting to catch a bus, a bus stop/shelter is usually the best place to stand at. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply

I`ve got no problem folk doing what they want if it has no impact on others. Passive smoking has been proved to have an impact. Reply

13. Author: ipswichpar Date: Sat 4th Jan 2025. 19:20 Legislation is in place to start to significantly reduce vehicle emissions. As it is for smoking, but it`s taking way too long to enact. There`s now reason why it should just to let a bunch of ignorant selfish people impact the health of others. Reply

We should also be restricting everyone’s calorific intake everyday. It’s ignorant and selfish to think you can walk around overweight eating anything you want. If we cut out over eating not only will it save the environment, the NHS will also be under less pressure COYP Reply

17. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sun 5th Jan 2025. 13:27 Anyone thinking it’s ok to smoke in areas with non smokers, because its their “right”, is an idiotic moron. Along with those who think its fine to smoke around children, babies or when pregnant. Reply
18. Author: jake89 Date: Sun 5th Jan 2025. 14:51 Just have a bit of common sense. Smoke outside if you want but don`t smoke where other people have no choice but to stand (for example, at a bus stop or at benches in a playpark). I`d be much more concerned about idiots who vape. Far more antisocial in my opinion and the waste from a discarded vape is far worse than a fag end. Reply

But I think your comparing Apples and Cakes. Obesity costs the NHS approximately £6 billion annually, a figure that is expected to rise to over £9.7 billion each year by 2050. According to a study involving nearly 2.5 million people, the cost per patient increases drastically with weight, as obese patients with a BMI over 40 cost the NHS an average of £1,375 per year, compared to £638 for those with a healthy weight. This financial strain highlights the need for interventions aimed at prevention and management of obesity. Would you take my point if I said I could save you money in your pay packet if we restrict everyone’s calories? COYP Reply
20. Author: DBP Date: Mon 6th Jan 2025. 06:05 We should restrict everyone’s sugar intake. Good news is that can be done by working in partnership with food manufacturers (regulation if needed), taxing products that continue to put ridiculous amounts of sugar in food, and maybe even teaching kids how to cook decent non processed food from basic/cheaper ingredients (plus trying to inform adults what crap they are actually eating most of the time) Post Edited (Mon 06 Jan 06:06) Reply
