It comes down to who you think has more right.. is it that of smokers, to smoke where they like, or non-smokers, to not breathe in second-hand smoke? I’m kind of apt to lean toward the side of non-smokers, in that when someone smokes, they are choosing to poison themselves, but in a public place, the non-smokers are not given a choice not to breathe in the smoke.
I also like the ban on smoking in indoor places, not only for the same reason, but that when you get a bunch of people smoking inside, it gets to be unbearable. I’m a smoker, but working in the smoking section of a restaurant is awful and difficult when you’re running around and breathing a lot. In bars, it gets suffocating and causes my eyes to burn.
