There is a massive anti-smoking campaign going on in Britain at the moment which highlights the dangers of passive smoking.

It's not just cancer that passive smokers need to worry about: apparently passive smoking reduces the oxygen levels of blood around the heart which lead to heart disease (the biggest killer in the UK at present) so it's not just a case of carcinogen levels in the air.

My general stance on smoking is that it's a bizarre and quite revolting habit and I've noticed that smokers are generally less environmentally and socially conscious people. For example, I'm sure the majority of people here would not dream of dropping a coke can in the street, but how many smokers will happily drop a cigarette stubb on the pavement? It seems to be completely acceptible behaviour. I've even seen my house guests and neighbours drop cigarette butts on my door step or into my flower beds in full view of me, as though it doesn't count as littering!!!!! And then they wonder why I think smokers are disgusting!

Anti-social behaviour like that does nothing to help improve my view of smokers. Smokers want respect and consideration? Then it's about time they tried to show some REAL consideration to others! Smoking outside and then tossing your butt into the street is not my definition of consideration.
