Should smokeing be banned from public buildings?

I am a smoker but I can wait until I am outside and away from people. It is what we call respect for other people!

As a smoker, I would say yes and no. In family oriented places yes. if it is bars,clubs,etc., then no it shouldn't be banned.

in Italy is banned in the resturant

yes i hate smoking. im pressured to do it all the time. i can honestly say that i have never smoked in my life.

It would be nice. We are on the verge of getting smoking out of restaurants here in Phoenix on this next election. I hope it goes through. It is terribly unpleasant when you eat but especially with a baby around!

yes in INDIA SMOKING SHOULD BE BANNED BY GOVERNMENT.IF YOU SMOKE THEN LEAVE YOUR HABBIT.IF YOU CAN'T LEAVE THEN PAY THE FINE FOR SMOKEING IF YOU SMOKEING IN PUBLIC PLACE THEN YOU SHOULD PAY $2

yes smoking should be banned in public placed,bcoz of smokers all people in that also got affected.so smoking should be banned

I live in a city where it has been banned. It is so much nicer. Although I feel sorry for smokers, they only made up 20% of the population, and 80% of us were having to deal with second hand smoke. Although I could always walk away, it really bothered me to hear news of serving staff dying of lung cancer even when they were non-smokers, just because they were exposed to it constantly at work.

Yes smoking should be banned at public places as the smoker has no right to mk the people around him uncomfortable with the smoke he blows out.Moreover smoking is injurious to health for both active as well as passive smoker.

Yes, it should be ban. I go for that because I am not a smoker myself. I am even pissed off with people who smoke near me. I just can't stand with the smell. They also ban smoking in school.

I am a smoker..who chooses to smoke outside.. However once when I was in college..me and some other smokers were outside eating our lunch, when some NON smokers came out and threw a fit because our smoke was bothering them...to that I say..Thank you for holding your breath while I smoke...I have enough respect to go outside..they should have had enough respect to live us alone lol

Smoking is a personal choice.. with a very impersonal by-product.. namely smoke.. Second hand smokers or passive smokers are just as susceptible to smoking related health issues .. for technically no fault of theirs other than being in the vicinity of a smoker... I agree with smoking being banned from public buildings or as has been suggested earlier in this discussion, restricted to specific places meant for smoking.

Here you can't smoke in restaurants, bars, anywhere inside and a lot of places you can't even smoke near the entrance. :) I like it a lot and this is coming from a smoker. I may smoke, but that doesn't mean everyone else should have to. ;D I'm quitting soon anyways heh..

Smoking should ban from the world, but the trader say no!

yes. Many people have breathing problems and can not be around it. My daughters asthma reacts even when she walks by someone that has the cigerette smell on them

oh definitely, they've banned smoking from in pubs and bars in NZ now, and it is so great! YOu don't come hom reeking of smoke. The only bad thing is that now the places smell like feet lol

Smoking is a choice that people make despite the health concerns. People who do not smoke should not be subject to the second hand smoke of those who have a choice.

Yes it should! it's banned from most places here in New York, restaurants included

i use to be a smoker and it really bothered me when i had no way of having that "relief" that some call smoking. even though i feel that there is major health concerns surrounding second-hand smoke, i feel that there should be some compromise. putting up barriers, separating parts of the building etc. so everyone is happy.

I use to be a smoker and agree that it should be banned. I am pregnant now and don't want to breath the air. Where I live you can't smoke within 25 feet of a public place or door.
