More cities are just saying “no smoking.” I am a smoker. But how can you ban something that is not illegal. The anti-smokers have rights I agree, but I have a right, too. It is called freedom of choice. I am very considerate about smoking. If someone in the room doesn’t smoke, I ask if it is OK. But if they are rude, like most of the anti-smokers, so am I. Plus, I don’t see how secondhand smoke is so bad because there are a lot of other things such as smog that are worse.
