I never said it didn't happen, but I'm just saying you are looking at one side..and I've got to admit so am I...if you look at the whole picture...what I see...is one group of ppl being involuntairly hurt over someone elses actions...I'd really like it if we can discuss this in a way that isn't arguing and see what kinda of idea we can put together on the subject.

Close you eyes, take a deep breath, and the ask yourself on simple question, "Is where I am where I should be?"

I pick myself up from the fall to be knocked back down, though I know one day when I get back up there will be nothing left to knock me down. The question is simply this, "Will there be anything left of me?"

Leave me the reins and I'll steer myself to infinty, I've sold my soul to darker side of divinty. I've prayed with the wicked and danced with the damned, but in the end it's all in your hand. Tell me how you lead the lamb astray, searching for somethign in the shadow of the day. I sang, I danced, and laughed, and played. Broken and beaten as my spirit would fade. take my gun, take my knife, but please if you could only just spare me my life? I wasted my time and mispronounced the line, you sold away my soul on the edge of a dime. <-------( random ryhming I just made up of the top of my head. )

Why not let the people decide if they want to smoke or not? Most smokers understand the consequences, but do it anyway. Just let them do it and leave them alone.

Banning it saves some people, but hurts others. Keeping it helps some people, but hurts others. Why not compromise it somehow?

No. No compromise. There is no reason to do it. Because it looks cool? Give me a break. It kills them, and everyone around them, and why, so they can look cool? Are you telling me that is right? Is that the "cool" thing to do?

If you want to look cool, buy a cool hat or something, and wear that around. It can even say "Mr. Cool" on it for all I care. At least that isn't hurting anyone else. Smoking KILLS, period. There is no good that can come out of it what so ever, so there is no reason to do it what so ever.

the smokers understand the consequences..but fail to realize that their actions cause other ppl's family memebers to end up on a hospital bed diagnosed with cancer causing all this pain and suffering...why? just so they an get their smoke for the day and end up in that same bed ten years down the road?

Recently, the UK joined most of the US in banning smoking in public places.

Actually England joined the rest of the United Kingdom and this is the entire country. Not just some, states.

They do it because it relaxes them. They started smoking in the 60s/70s, before it was bad, and now don't wish to stop.
Why can they not have one place to do it away from others?

I stand corrected on that, Shadre. I just use my sources...

When I want to relax, I listen to music. Other people watch TV. Some people sleep. ECT Doing something that kills you AND other people to "relax" is no excuse.

Smoke in your house if you must. Thats as far as I will go.

so if you get stressed that makes it ok to kill other ppl...? Since when has this been so? I mean seriously ppl need to stop think about the "me" and start seeing the "we"

Why can't smokers smoke in groups, then, away from people?

Here in England you can still smoke on the streets which is stupid as streets are public places. The only thing changed is that pubs and restaurants no longer have smoking areas.

Lol, I'm still thinking of a joke Lee Evans said about smoking sections in restaurants when he said, "What the f*** are smoking areas? In restaurants you are given a choice of a smoking and non-smoking area. Well I was thinking how the f*** does the smoke know which is which? the somke would be like, 'ohhhh nooooo! its the non-smoking area we cant go there, get back!' *Lee starts waving arms while moving back*"

You breath in more cancer causing things in your own home or out in the city than from smoking.

Personally don't understand how people can think its perfectly OK to not let people smoke other drugs like marijuana and think its ok to let people smoke cigarettes, when ironically cigarettes are actually MORE dangerous to your heath (though I don't agree with any of those kinds of drugs). Personally, when it comes to smoking, I don't see why people would want to put dangerous chemicals, like tar, urethra, etc. in their lungs, eventually fill their lungs with black residue that makes it harder for them to breathe, and raise their chances of cancer, heart attack, cardiac arrest, etc. Especially for an artificial feeling of calmness or anything.

But smog-ish city air can be pretty dangerous, with all these emissions from cars and trucks, factories, etc. But your not getting huge amounts of it at once, like with smoking a drug like tobacco (obviously in cigarettes/fags).

Though I think people should have the right to smoke at home where their alone. When their at home, unless they got family members that don't smoke, they aren't exposing their smoke to the public and it's their property and they should be able to smoke when they feel like it. I just have a problem with smoking in public places, like restaurants or stores.

Sometimes smoking in public places can ruin the experience of being there. I've came across this several times where I went to a restaurant and could barely stand to even be there because the place was practically filled with cigarette smoke, the smell was just awful and that smell was on my clothes the rest of the day.

I think they should be allowed to smoke outside the restaurant at least, where it can't reach the indoor people who don't want it. I don't understand why they want to smoke myself, but it seems rough to them, since now we're pretty much FORCING them to quit
