[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 634296, member: 1550"] Janet, you're a kind, compassionate person. Why do you feel others should have to inhale nicotine just for the convenience of those who choose to smoke? Alcohol MAY be harmful to certain people, but not by fumes from another person so I don't see it as the same. Actually, any drug MAY be dangerous to somebody, but it is not spread to anybody else. I see this as the difference. Also, some people are responsible drinkers. Nobody can "smoke" responsibly. Every puff of smoke is nicotine in your lungs and the lungs of anyone near you. Just like our difficult children who want to use drugs, and many are hooked on legal drugs, anything can be dangerous to somebody, even getting into a car. But cigarette smoke is known and proven to be harmful to others around them. I do not know the legal/illegal smoking laws for my state because I don't smoke. I'm just glad that the toxic fumes are not a part of my life anymore. Nobody is saying ban cigarettes. That would be as useless as Prohibition. But if we don't have to join the smokers in this unhealthy habit, I think bans where non-smokers may go makes sense. I hope you join us one day and quit. Can't tell you how it is not to hear my hubby's horrible smoker's cough! It took him five times to quit, but he's smoke free now for two years. He is not tolerant of smokers around him. I think while you are still smoking it's hard to understand how much the surrounding smoke affects others. My hubby has admitted he did not realize it. After all, h e was around smoke all the time. When he wasn't smoking, he had the scent on his clothes and the taste in his mouth. Now that he doesn't, it bothers him a lot. [/QUOTE]
