I don't think it should be banned completely but I wish the amount of people that smoked would go down alot. My mom and dad smoke. My mom smokes an E-cig. She stopped cigarettes when she had her heart attack but my dad didn't when he had his but he stopped drinking so I don't mind.
There are alot of people around my area that smoke. It does stink and it is kind of gross but it helps them calm down etc.
I wouldn't say that smoking should be banned completely because I feel that people should be able to do whatever they want to their own bodies. However, I support public smoking bans because I shouldn't be forced to breathe in toxic chemicals just because someone next to me is making a bad health decision. That infringes on my rights.
I say yes, I honestly cannot stand being near people who smoke, the smell of smoke and everything about it annoys me. I hate being around someone and smelling smoke all of the time, and then them needing to go and smoke their lungs out.
That, and it's costly nowadays, which is good, it means they are trying to stop people from smoking, but still, it needs to be banned. More people are hurt by second hand smoking then smoking itself. It's a health hazard that doesn't just affect the people who smoke.
Although I don't smoke, I have nothing against it. I think its harmless and people are free to do what they want.
I don't think smoking should be banned for the simple reason that its not hurting anyone. You do have the freedom not to do it, its not being forced on you.
Sure, it can cause health problems, but its no different than someone getting drunk and having alcohol poisoning.
I think we should be worrying more about something that actually matters like narcotics and things worse out there than someone smoking and minding their own business to be honest.
