Heres the bottom line. Smokers choose to smoke, people do not choose whether they want to breath or not. I have asthma and I have every right to go to any public building I choose to and not have to breath in peoples second hand carcinogens. Smokers do NOT have the right to smoke somewhere where non-smokers go. If you smoke, that is a choice you made for yourself and where you smoke in public deserves to be regulated to protect those who do not smoke. I did not choose to be born with asthma, you chose to start smoking. If you cannot be courteous and respectful of non-smokers and smoke outside or in your car, you deserve to be restricted and prohibited from smoking in public buildings. Don't put my health and wellbeing at risk to satisfy your uncontrollable addiction.
Smoking is a choice, breathing isn't
