All Right, my town has approved a smoking ban for all public building, with only minimum allowances. I’m so tired of my human rights being revoked, I’m ill. I do not understand the reason non-smokers have such a stong opinion on what us smokers do. I understand that smoking is harmful, but I made a conscience choice when I began smoking, aware of the fact it was bad. Just because non-smokers want me to give it up, doesn’t mean that it is going to happen. Smoking in restaurants has been a privilage, but most restaurants provide a chosen smoking room. If non-smokers don’t want to be in the smoke, don’t sit in the smoking room, you are not unwilling made to sit in that section. And as well as the jobholers of these restaurants that say they are affected by second hand smoke, I don’t believe it. I held jobs in the service industry for over 10 years, and I know that most of thefellow workers were smokers. Interacting with people, always, compels you to inhale. Personally, I have never heard one non-smoking co-worker ever complain about smoking while at work in the smoking room. Putting a smoking prohibition in restaurants and bars, can only save me money, because I refuse to eat out after the the new year.
