Lately, I have been hearing things about a smoking ban taking place for all public places. After hearing about this I had to check it out. According to the report, Ban Smoking in Public Places, the surgeon general is wanting to ban smoking in the workplace and public places because of the increased rates of secondhand smoke, especially in children. The smoking issue has always been a topic I have been interested in because I am very much against it. It is not fair to those of us who do not smoke to have to breathe it in and have that chance of becoming ill. Also, it is sad when children have parents that smoke because there is nothing they can do to avoid it when they are younger. The surgeon general knows there will be people who do not like this ban but it is only to better the environment and people's health. I would love to hear how others feel about this ban and whether or not you agree with it.
I ALSO LOVE SMOKING BANS!!! I posted on my blog a few days ago about a smoking ban in all parks in Duluth and was very elated to read about it. I cannot stand second hand smoke and agree with you very much that it's not fair for those of us who don't smoke to have to breathe it in! I also feel sad for kids that have parents who smoke in front of them because I had to put up with it growing up and no matter how much I begged, borrowed, and pleaded with my parents to stop smoking they never did :( and I had no control over it. I hope more and more places adopt anti-smoking policies. Awesome post!
