i agree with it completely.
Second-hand smoke harms other people, and could even be as devestating as first hand smoke. It could kill them!
And whenever i smell smoke i get a huge headache and start coughing. Not too enjoyable. |

Usually, there are young kids around breathing in the smoke and second hand smoke is more of a risk then smoking itself. I don't think it's a good idea to stop it all together, let some people try to get off it smoking on their own, forcing them to stop will only lead to illegal smoking because of more stress and frustrtation.
Banning smoking in public just forces parents who won't quit to smoke at home around their kids.
Smoking in an open area around children won't hurt them - only chronic exposure to second-hand smoke in an enclosed space will (like when parents smoke excessively at home). So unless I'm underestimating the number of small children hanging around bars and nightclubs, the smoking ban actually hurts children more than helps.
Though I was already against the public ban, I never thought of it this way. That's really unfortunate. |
