Do u think it should be illegal to smoke in public?
Question:
Answers:
Yes I do, I think smoking should be banned in public places such as restaurants, bars, clubs...etc...because as we know second hand smoke is worst than first hand smoke, this means people who are around the smoker have more probability to get lung cancer and other smoke related diseases.
Smoking is already banned in all public places in Washington state and if you want to smoke a cigarette, you need to be 25 feet away from a door or window.
I love Washington :)

Nope.
Bus & truck exhaust is alot worse than smokes.
yes, i do. in the county next to mine they made it illegal to smoke in public places. i'm just hoping and waiting till they make it the law here in my county
Yes! It's disgusting. Any non smoker does not want to breathe in those toxins. Smokers should only be able to smoke in/on their property.
yea ill tell you one thing i dont wanna die because of second hand smoke
that's why there are designated areas, usually outside next to the traffic and car exhaust. If you are standing there, chances are that the exhaust will kill you first.
By the way, all of you that are saying yes, ban it, live in areas where there is emission testing? You all drive Hybrid cars? No SUVs ? Never take buses or planes? Read up on that air pollution. You won't be thinking nearly as hard about a bit of cigarette smoke.
I'm going outside right now to smoke!
yes it`s not good.
u r free but donot hurt any body.
nice day
only if the majority votes for it in the elections.
I think they should be able to smoke in a area provided for them! Hell yes I do! We pay the price to smoke ..so give us some room!
nope it should be illegal to drive cars because of their pollution
I think it should be legal to smoke in public, outdoors.I don't know where everyone expects the smokers to go
No why do you think we non smokers have any more rights than smokers. Come on this should not be put into law. We have alot more concerns about public behavior, For instance talking loud on the cell phone or shooting up chicken with hormones ,etc
YES. In Scotland (where I live) it is illegal to smoke indoors in a public place (like a bar, cinema, restaurant), so everyone stands outside the door to these places, and when you walk by you get a lungful of smoke.
Test have proved that inhaling others smoke can kill.
Finally, if the drug tobacco was 'found' for the first time today, it would be classed as a drug more damaging than Heroin.
Scary eh - Ban smoking!
I think that smokers should be more respectful of non-smokers, but smoking should not be illegal. It is that person's choice if they want to smoke, to take that away is depriving them of their rights. If they want to get lung cancer, that is their decision. Hopefully, with all of this information about smoking now, smokers will respect others more and only smoke in private places, but that is about all that we can ask.
Yes.
Smokers were brought up without the benefit of breast feeding when they were young. This is a mental disease.
No. Once the right thing was done for health reasons all of the idiots and criminals decided to do the right thing that causes the most trouble and makes the least sense.
This would further empower the homeless.
I don't think it's fair to ban smoking in open public spaces, like on the sidewalk or in a park, but I definitely think it should be illegal to smoke in confined public spaces, like restaurants. I think one space that could still sort of be open for debate would be something like a sports stadium. I've been to football games where the people next to me were smoking and it made the experience a whole lot less pleasant, and I didn't really have the option of moving to get away from the smoke.
hell yes..
It is illegal to smoke in public.
Some non-smokers are able to stay in a room with smokers for quite some time and notice little or no effects. For others, however, just a few minutes or an hour of exposure can make them feel quite ill. Persons with asthma can experience attacks brought on by smoking, and by passive smoking whether they are adults or children
Tobacco smoke is an allergen, and allergy sufferers can experience stuffy, runny noses, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, and all the other typical allergy symptoms within minutes of exposure. Some people with no known allergies and without asthma may cough in smoke-filled rooms, get headaches, feel nauseous, feel sleepy, and experience other ill effects. Many former smokers, and those who are trying to quit do not like to be around smoke as it can cause them to have cravings. Some people simply do not like the odor, which clings to hair and clothing.
Many of these short-term effects terminate after the exposure ends. Repeated exposure, however, is believed to cause more serious long-term effects.
Passive smoking (also known as involuntary smoking, secondhand smoking, or Environmental Tobacco Smoke) occurs when the ambient smoke from (a) one person's burning tobacco product or (b) the smoker's exhalation is inhaled by others. There is controversy surrounding the health risks of long term exposure to second hand smoke, but the most recent studies confirm the health risks. Passive smoking is one of the key issues leading to smoking bans in workplaces, smoke-free restaurants, and public places.
Yes. I have lived in states where it was illegal and others were it was legal everywhere. It was so much nicer and cleaner in the non-smoking states. I have gotten to where I actually consider the smoking laws before accepting a job offer or making a move anywhere. I want to be healthy and I don't think anyone else has the right to take that choice away from me. I won't even visit any type of resturaunt in North Carolina. You can't go anywhere without sucking up cancer in that state.
I don't smoke and hate it. Having said that I must say that as long as your outside what right do we have to say if someone can kill themselves that way in public. As far as second hand smoke,the other person does not have to be there and if you look at the studies of second hand smoke they are all done in doors and with many smokers.
It should be illegal in public places but not outside.
nope it definitely shouldn't be made illegal. i am against smoking and everything but my point is the moment something is banned or made illegal , people have this irresistable itching to do that one thing.
yea, i think so i never was into smoking cigs i'm more of a drinker than anything besides it smells the smell is on your clothes, hair, breath thats not cool
Yeah it should. You'll get sick for being exposed to a 2nd hand smoke. There should be a proper place for them not in public places
Being a smoker myself, no I don't think it should be illegal. I do think that smokers need to be more considerate of non-smokers, though. There should be no smoking in enclosed establishments but I don't see a problem with it in an open air area as long as those smoking are not near others.
I personally feel that smoking marijuana in public should be limited to outdoors places, in line with the most current legislation on smoking nicotine.
But the issue is bigger than we realize. I've provided some links from different points of view, on both sides of the legalization issue, pro and con.
Second hand smoke is a lie of the devil. I was born to parents who smoked there friends smoked and I smoked since fourteen which so far is 32 years Now add my 32 to all the bad second hand smoke I aquired since infancy That 46 years and I'm sure I must have died a good ten years ago. Now should a 30 year old aquire my second hand smoke he should be able to endure atleast as long as i have which would make him 76 before he dies which I think is around the average lifespan. Give me a break every food or drink including tap water can kill you nervous nelly's. you might as well enjoy your life because one thing is certain you are going to die, and your just as dead if you die jogging as you are if you die smoking.
Should people with cars banned? They cause a lot of pollution for the pedisterians which is far worse than smoking.
Do you think it should be illegal for smokers to b*tch-slap you in public when you ask them to stop?
