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.

The disadvantage is the people who brought it about are being funded by the tobacco companies and providing them with an excellent tax shelter, and immunity of liability. The advantage is children will observe fewer pwople smoking and be less likely to pick it up as a habit.

The reason for banning smoking in public places is to keep people from getting sick.
People die from disease caused by second hand smoke.
There is no advantage for anyone to smoke in a public place.
Smokers I urge you to try any way you can to quit.

Second hand smoke is not only annoying, but a selfish habit for a smoker to force on a health conscious individual in a public place.
I say get with it smokers---smoking is not considered "sexy" anymore, or a "grown up" thing to do, or "in style".
It's self consuming, unhealthy, addicting, stinks up your house, your car, your clothes, other people's cars, homes, and clothing...and heck I'll even throw in that it can lead to Cancer!!!

There is no disadvantage. Everything would be an advantage!
