True but their still exposing the people coming and going from the restaurant unless their in a distant corner. But personally, even though it doesn't seem fair to these people, it would be better off in the long run as it would improve the heath of themselves and others. Plus, their not trying to force them to quit because their not banning the sales of cigarettes completely (atleast what I see with Ohio), their just not allowing them in public locations. |

Which is mainly where people smoke. I do like it that it's out of restaurants, but there's nothing to repay for it to smokers |

Well I think it's good...My cousin, she is paranoid about smoking...she flips out when her mom or our grandma do it, and if they do she makes roll all the windows down in the car, or she goes outside if they do it inside...I dun think it would be fair for her to go to a restaurant and have to deal with a bunch of cigarette smoke...and I personally think that anyone who does smoke should get help, if they quit they will have more money in the long run lots more money, and they will be soooooo much healthier....but not ever smoker wants to quit.... |

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. ) Father touched you with the hand of god. He's gripping tighter saying, "You will burn in hell they say, you will burn in hell!" | |

Right! Smoking can become an addiction so it sort of messes up your mind making it think that you HAVE to smoke. It's like an urge. |

i think the smoking ban is a good thing, but i do understand that smokers will be upset about it, but its not like they cant smoke at all, its not like there's a secret police that goes sneaking around putting out every cigerette! its just like a comprimise so smokers can still smoke, but aslo so that it reduces the chance of other people around them getting the smoke second hand. |

yea exactly! I mean seriously it'll help out society alot more then it will hurt it...Smoking hurts everyone...not just the smokers...and if they can't smoke publicly then it won't be as bad for non-smokers. |

Unfortunately, my Father is one of those few adults who didn't start smoking until he was 40 and got addicted to them. Hes been trying to completely quit this week, and its made him a total grump. It's very hard to stop smoking, and of course it would be better if no one would do it in the first place, but we can't prevent it. I think the smoking ban would be good or bad in different situations. Like if someone were totally addicted it would be good it is banned. But if the smoker isn't addicted and only ocasionaly smokes, I think the ban would not be necessary. |

I forced my parents to smoke outside of the house so I wouldnt be exposed to it. But now im sad cause they stay out side all day smoking. Smoking should be illegal anyway. If it kills by second hand smoking then why keep it? same for beer, I dont care if your aged enough. I am NOT riding with you. |

We've already tried banning alcohol. Let us not get into how ineffective Prohibition was... |

I don't mean to sound cruel here, well actually, I do... If people smoke, then it's their own fault that they are addicted to it. Just because they were retards to decide to do something that they KNOW will kill them, does not mean they can do it around other people, and kill them as well. If they want to die, I could care less, but don't take other lives with you just because your too stubborn to hold it off until you get to your own darn house. Here is a nice little example for you, and please no one take offense to this. Smoking is almost like taking a gun, pointing it at your head, and pulling the trigger. You KNOW what is going to happen, but you do it anyways. Now if people want to make that choice, then fine by me. But you don't just walk up to someone else in a restaurant, put the gun up to their head, and pull the trigger. Smoking is the exact same thing, only slower and more painful. So by saying you want to allow it, it's like saying anyone is free to just kill anyone else. I don't know about you, but I personally think that is kind of wrong. |

i know what your saying EvilOreo, that smoking kills, but that is a bit too much, i mean its not like having one cigerette is going to kill you and the person next to you. this is the kind of idea alot of people are getting of smoking because the media is blowing it way out of preportion. i am for the ban, and against smoking, but the media and health safety peolpe, whatever they are called, have made smoking seem worse than it acctually is. Two of my freinds have tryed to get theyre parents to stop smoking, one of them put these bang things in the cigerrettes so when they light them they go bang! and my other firend got his dad to stopp smoking around the house because he kept making any chance for his dad to smoke a hassel, he would but up no smooking signs everywhere and hide and destroy his dads cigerrettes, so if anyone wants theyre parents to stop you could try something like that to get them to stop! =P |

Aqua is right. One small amount of smoke won't kill you. You'd have to stay at the restaurant for hours for it to effect you. And if one wants any real clean air, we need to fix car exhaust which is more damaging than anything you can smoke |
