first things first...just because you do not approve of smoking, does not give you the right to ban it because others enjoy it. granted, those of us who do smoke should take into consideration of how others feel about it. but that still does not give anyone the right to say we can not smoke in public. if we chose to smoke after eating a meal, that is our choice. I think there should be two different restaurants if this is how it is going to be, one for smokers and one for non smokers, so if you have a problem with smoking, go to the other one, we should not have to feel like we are evil because we smoke.
Second thing. here in America, if they "ban" smoking, that is taking away more of our supposed freedom, it is our bodies, if we want to smoke let us, do not tell us that because we are old enough to make our own decisions, and decide to smoke, we are killing our selves and you are not going to let us do that. what about our rights? as I stated above, I do take into consideration around people who do not smoke, and if I want a cig, I go to my car, out of politeness, unless there is a specific smoking area away from non smokers.
