now im not sure if other places have it, but in the UK they have no smoking areas, and smoking areas, giving people freedom in what they want to do rather than having some people be happy and other not happy... i dont smoke, but i see no reason that people shouldnt be allowed to smoke their ***s where they want, they pay good money, and it (at least in this country) funds education, road maintinance, hospitals, etc.... banning to me is ludicrus, i think people these days are too scared of the world around them.... if you think that it should be banned in public, well fair nuff, but smokers have the same freedom as ne1 and making it so they have to go to a certain place to smoke is not fair, and apparently we live in freedom, but everybody is so PC these days that you cant avoid doing something that will offend some1.... the world is getting soft on all the big issues, and all the little things like smoking in public are made big.
Believe it or not some people REALLY enjoy smoking, your saying that they interupt your enjoyment, so in return you say that they cant enjoy themselves as well, and then you make them go through the agony of having an addiction and not being able to do anything about it till they get home? imagine if your mother/girlfriend/best friend (who is a smoker) went out for a day, and throughout the day they became increasingly irritable because they couldnt smoke, would you like them to feel that bad? I know smoking is a bad for your health and so on, but so can many other things, the thing is smokers usually like smoking and thats why they do it, i dont see what gives people the right to tell them to stop it, it isnt hurting any1 else, (unless in a very smokey room) and besides, if you ask the smoker if they wouldnt mind stop smoking in your face, im sure they wont mind smoking more discretely, and if you dont like it that much then why are you staying there? if I go to a place i dont like for 1 reason or another, logic tells me i should move....
Smokers are given a bad reputation these days, this may be to discourage people from starting, but the media have now got this thing about how smokers are harming every1 and they dont know any better.... there is propaganda about the risks of second hand smoke and other things acociated with smoking, but nobody looks into it, and it is forgoten...
I appologise again but this is not something that i will agree with and i see no reason that no smokers deserved to be treated better than smoker, people say they want equality.... when it suits them....
