i can't tolerate smoke, myself, so if i had the power, YES i would ban it. but seriously. i wouldn't be any help to those with the addiction. wouldn't it be as wrong for us to make them quit smoking cold-turkey in the end as it was for them to make us second-hand smokers in the first place???
See this is what I think. Not only can I not tolerate smokers, yet I think its stupid for people to start smoking in the first place. Really if it's going to do bad for your health, then stop it. I won't mention the whole second hand smoke thing cause that's probably done to death but as a Canadian and other Canadians (those who do not smoke) it's really unfair for us to have to pay taxes for the public health care if people are dying or are in vain for something they chose to do. So yes I agree to ban smoking. And sure maybe I'm being harsh with smokers and bias using my own point of view, but I believe that it's better to stop a problem now rather than letting it continue live on and affect the younger generations. And who knows? Some smokers might quit after losing their source of addiction, and those who don't want to quit, well they can move somewhere else for all I care. But of course, if we do put a ban on smoking some people might think otherwise and buy 'illegal' cigarettes from some damn smuggler<_< If it's happening with drugs, I can see that happening with cigarettes too. And again it's just my opinion.
^ b4 u rite something....smoking is a personal choice....im sure every smoker knows the consequences...don't judge ppl because they smoke..theyt have their reasons..whether it is pleausure, release stress, peer pressure...and u dont know the many ppl the struggle thru life and the problems they gota deal with..smoking gives them something to do that can calm them down... SZEEEN?
This really does depend on whether one is a smoker or not. I agree that there should be segregated areas for smokers and non-smokers. If one's healthy then they shouldn't be put in the position to have to breath in second hand smoke of others.
I realize that smoking is their personal choice, I just feel that if there was a ban on it that less people would feel peer pressure to do it if they wanted to be 'in' with a crowd or something, since they know it's illegal. And as for the other reasons such as pleasure and stress, you're right, I can't do anything about it if the people enjoy it, but there are other ways to release their stress and I'm sure if smoking was banned they'd find another way to release their stress. I'm just saying that it would be better if smoking was banned and if they can start it, they can end it too (if they want). Besides, my before comment was just a matter of my opinion.
dun think smoking should be banned, coz some ppl do need it to get thru a hard day of work...maybe more designated spots should be made for smokers, and true when there's a lot of children in public places, smoking shouldnt be allowed...
Marijuana should be legalized for the greater good of society. They should at least have rooms for pot heads everywhere, like washrooms. Much like how for we need to take a piss, we also need to relieve ourselves by getting high. Set up rooms in offices, schools, shopping centres, and what not. Now that's my vision of utopia.
smoking should be banned. Who would ever want to kiss a smoker. They smell and it does harm to ur body. No offence to those smoker, but smokes are idiots. It u want to realease stress, them releive stress by helping out the environment or something.
well i mean we are all human right... so why cant we do what we like... what i mean is isnt it normal that we get our own section of smoking and non smoking... i mean sooner or later we gonna hafta seperate people who are vegetarians now ... what the hell..... its like segregating everyone once again ...... so does that mean i dont like the smell of food i can go up to them and say ewwwwwww that smells
