why should smoking not be banned in public places?

Question

I need reasons why smoking should not be banned in public places...

WHY, I need specific reasons why it should not be banned...

Answer 1

Nicotine addicts rights end at the tip of my nose. If they don't like it, to bad. No one should be forced to share a smokers rude and deadly habit, especially children and the elderly, who don't normally stand up for themselves.

Answer 2

Because smokers have rights too ... smoking is legal and people have a right to make their own decisions even if it is bad for them. If the government were to ban everything that's bad for people then you have to ban fast food too because that will clog your arteries and give you a heart attack if you have too much. Cigarettes are the same sort of thing.

As for second hand smoke, it's all about ventilation. Outdoors smoke dissipates, the outdoors is a natural ventilation system. Indoors, they can put in ventilation systems that cut down on second hand smoke. Because places like bars and restaurants are public but are also business owner's private businesses, those business owners should be allowed to decide whether or not they want to allow smoking in their business. If an owner decides to allow smoking, then people that are paranoid that the guy smoking a cigarette with his beer is going to give them lung cancer can go somewhere else. People should all have choices.

Smoking bans are really a kind of tyranny imposed on smokers by the non-smoking majority. While they might not approve of smoking, banning it is really rather cruel. It's as if you were thirsty and had a bottle of water but were told by the government you weren't allowed to drink it.

The last thing I'm going to tell you is creating a smoking ban is pointless if you don't enforce it. That means you need to create a smoking police and a system to punish smokers. That costs money and is a questionable priority given that there are murderers on the loose.

Answer 5

I am a smoker - I am ok with banning smoking in places where children and/or sick people congregate, but I also feel it should be up to the business owners to decide if they want to allow smoking or not. I dont have to smoke in restaurants, but banning smoking from bars is getting to me.

Answer 6

Do you mean inside or outside public places? I can see the reason inside but I have trouble with why smokers can't smoke outside. Again, it is a witch hunt for all smokers...Several groups have gotten together and have made false claims and of course the lung,heart organizations jumped into the witch hunt also. It blows my mind that in New York they have a ban on smoking but want to pass a law to say it is ok to smoke pot????Of course there are many rich people, not just celebrities but gov't officials who want the law to pass on the pot issue...does that not make you wonder a little or question the reasoning? Another funny thing I can't understand is how many groups are asking for donations to buy cig's to send to our troups in Iraq...since I have many people I know serving in Iraq, they say that the army supplies tons of cartons of cig's already and the troops are allowed to buy them at discount. I think there are more VIP issues than the smoking issue. We, Americans need to stop, think and ask what the important issues are that face us today. I personally think that the road we're on is going on a downhill spiral...let's talk about health care for all, lowering taxes and raising the min.wage!

Answer 7

Other than whiny (albeit raspy & phlegmy) smokers complaining about it there is no reason it shouldn't be banned.

Speeders complain about speed limits. Doesn't make them a bad idea.
