Disagree! They should ban it definitively.

Completely agree, but I also agree with itlktiv because smoking is so damaging for health, and smokers like/need it only because they're addicted to niquitine (that's a drug completely). Each cigarette contains drugs and poisonous substances (even tar!) which accumulate in the bronchis and occlude blood vessels so that respiration and cells oxygen providing are hindered and become slow and difficult: efforts are much more harder to smokers, the risk of heart failure is higher and higher as well as the risk of lung cancer – that's why a smoker's life is so shorter than a non-smoker's one; in addiction, somokers are less and less sensitive to smells and scients, what I find very sad definitely. Forbidding smoking in public places is just the minimum to do (but never forget, alas, that government earn very much from taxes on cigarettes wich are legal monopoly, so they'll never be banned), because breathing other's cigarette smoke passively is fairly unhealth too: we can assume a smoker has the right to ruin his life, but he'll never have right to ruin others' life!

i think that if the public place is indoors or in an enclosed area, then i think it's important to respect the rights and health of non-smokers. but if the public place is outdoors, then people should be allowed to smoke if they want.

I have seen smoking go from in the Office, to the office lounge, to outside of the office building and now to a designated area about 10 feet away from the office building. I hate cigarette smoke. I can even smell it if a car passes by and the smoker in that car has their window rolled down. if cigarettes were to disappear off the face of the earth I wouldn't be upset.

I think disagree, that's too bad...
