An extension of the smoking ban to communal areas of residential blocks and other outdoor spaces in Singapore in 2013 may have prevented up to 20,000 heart attacks among those aged 65+, suggests research published in the open access journal BMJ Global Health.
I’d like to see this in more places.
UK is talking about raising the smoke age each year. I think that’s pretty cool.
Absolutely! I see every day the awfully sick people in our hospital, one side lung left but still smoking 2 packs a day, practically living outside. In certain circumstances it should considered as involuntarily suicide. Plus: they annoy other people as fuck. Disgusting habit.
Do you see the same thing with morbidly obese people as well? Considering smokers are no longer in the top deaths now?

I’m an off-and-on again quitter. Smoking is the worst habit; it’s not discriminating on people to:
not want the world littered with cig butts.
not wanting to smell disgusting cig smoke as people walk by or worse, loiter, blowing their garbage into houses and apartments.
not wanting to pay for the enormous burden this habit puts on the healthcare system for nothing but perpetually addicted suckers who got hooked before they got sense.
it’s a burden on society writ large, from the asshole flicking out a cig that starts a wildfire (the world is already burning) to the dickheads who vape on the train. I wish it would all go away.
