Broken cigarette - A broken cigarette to try and discourage smokers from contnuing to smoke.
I personally think it should. Cmoking is a serious hazard not only for the smoker but for all who come into contact with their smoke. It is a horrible habit that, in my opinion, has no appeal or benefits. I dont understand why people cmoke apart from the fact that they are addicted and cant stop so then believe that smoking actually is nice in some way. I dread taking my little ones out because you cant explain to them the dangers or tell them to hold their breath as we go past smokers. I would love for it to be banned personally.

I dont' believe that smoking should be banned worldwide. I believe that it is a persons choice whether they smoke or not and not the governments or anyone elses. I am a former smoker and can tell you that it would be very irritating to go into your favorite restaurant and find that overnight it became a no smoking establishment. I understand that in some instances this makes sense like in restaurant aimed at children etc. but there were some sports bars that we visited frequently that suddenly became no smoking and you could tell that they lost a lot of business because of it.

I am from the US and we are suppose to have the freedom of chose, so no, I do not believe it should. Why is everyone so apted to get this done? If you do not like, don't do it! I respect people who do not like having it around them. They could at least do the same for me. This health craze thing is getting crazy!
