Smoking in public places, .............. Options

[picaso_smile]

Should smoking be banned from public places? Should it be banned in all resaurants? Do you think it's fair to take away a persons right to smoke wherever they want?

My opinion:
I think smoking should be banned except outdoors. It's a disguesting habbit. It pollutes the environment and people. Smokers don't have a right to jeopardize the health of other people.

have you ever smoked? because i thought smoking was gross until i tried it. i don't smoke on a regular basis, but it does allow you to unwind and get somewhat of a nice little buzz if used correctly and sparingly enough. smoking can also make you very sick, so i am in no way endorsing it, i'm just encouraging people to make up their own minds and not regurgitate things they've heard. [how could you know it's gross unless you've done it?]

I have tried it as well. I don't much care for it. You don't really get 'a buzz' from smoking a cigarette...

And, if you do smoke, it leads to tendancies. Like a habit of wanting more. And that can create problems.

You may feel like crap, and want a cigarette, but you can't get one, or you are at school. What do you feel? You feel more tense, and seem to lash out a bit more than usual, because you can't 'Wind Down'.

Ehh.. That is my take on it.

and have rooms for smoking instead of areas outside...because the smoke still goes around...

Umm.. Sort of pointless. Smoke Rises. If it is trapped, it wafts out, and then back up. If you smoke outside, it is going up.

What is the point in letting it grow stale, while trapping it in a room, and when released, can get caught in other rooms, maybe even *gasp* non-smoking rooms.
