Should smoking be banned in all public places?

Question

hell no

Answer 1

Yes because children are usually in all public places

Answer 2

While I recognize the unfairness to smokers, I must say as an asthmatic and a non-smoker that I support the ban in SOME public places. I'm from the US (don't know if you're talking about the UK), so here one cannot smoke in restaurants, in some bars at the discretion of the owner, and within 20ft of a public building. I personally find it reasonable. While I understand it's an addiction, I feel that the more limitations placed on smokers the better. It's like letting an alcoholic drink and be rowdy wherever they are, they'll obviously bother someone with their addiction as they will effect others around them. Smoking is becoming more taboo because people are bothered by it. Frankly it stinks and it's an extremely unattractive and unhealthy habit. The more lives we can save by banning it the better. Lung cancer is a terrible thing to live through as it oral cancer, emphasema, and chronic bronchitis. I've watched relatives suffer through the adverse effects of smoking and it's unneccessary to die before your time just for a silly ciggarette.

Answer 3

at least in restruants, not bars or places where alochol is ...supermarket no...headshop yes still can b/c the owner chainsmokes..but if there is the possibility that children are present then it should be banned....I smoke but when we go out to eat I don't go to smoking sections b/c of my kids.and it pizzes me off when other people think it's ok to smoke with my boys nearby

Answer 4

it should be since of the danger of secondhand smoke. and lawmakers are working on that since arizona just got a new banned public smoking law

Answer 5

Yes. My town is now smoke-free in public places, and it's awesome.

Answer 6

No, smoking shouldn't be banned in pubic places. If having hot sex makes you smoke--so be it. It's hard to avoid.
Oh, I'm sorry, you said pubLic places, not pubic. No smoking shouldn't be banned there either.

Answer 7

Nope. I sincerely believe that so long as this addiction is used merely as a profit making tax that everyone benefits from, then no one has any right to avoid the smoke. If they want to restrict the smoke, they should curb their greed.

Answer 8

Hell yeah!!!

Smoking should be banned EVERYWHERE!!!

100% no doubt whatsoever!!!

I'm a non-smoker and simply cannot stand smokers!!!

YUK! What a filthy & disgusting habit!!!

The person who invented tobacco should be shot dead!!!




P.S. Please don't come crying on my shoulder when your nice pink lungs become all nasty and horribly black & you eventually get diagnosed with lung cancer buddy!!! Don't you think that there's enough pollution in our world as it is?!?

Answer 9
