[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 634080, member: 1550"] Sus, much as I love you, smoke can harm us, children or not children. Second hand smoke can cause lung cancer, emphysema, can trigger ashtma attacks in adults who have asthma...it may be legal, but it isn't safe for anyone. And, in any restaurant, there are people who are not so healthy, with lung and heart problems who want a meal not a trip to ER. And many of us don't want the smoke to take away from the flavor of our food. As much as I am a non-drinker (never been drunk in my life, never intend on changing that) and don't enjoy seeing drunken people, their druenkenness does not linger on my clothing, get into my lungs, affect asthmatics and is not a health hazard to anyone else unless they are on the road. And that isn't legal. I truly believe it should be illegal to smoke in places of business if it is a health hazard to anyone else. And I think we are heading there. I really don't care if people smoke somewhere other than around me. That is their business. If they want to be closed up in a car with all that smoke, so be it. If they want to have that awful smoker's cough that my hub had before he quit, that is their business. If they want to get emphysema, congestive heart failure, etc. that is a personal choice. But don't make me inhale your smoke that I chose never to do. I think it is perfectly fine to ban smoking around people, period, because it's not safe. Smoke in your house. Smoke where you're allowed...I can cross the street if you're outside. But keep it out of workplaces, restaurants and any enclosed places where people who choose to be nicotine free may be. I don't care if you're smoking at 12 or 55. It's a health hazard that doesn't need sharing. by the way, I feel the same way about pot, whether it becomes legal or not and believe pot will have the same rules as cigarettes does. [/QUOTE]
