Smoking in Public Outdoor places

I think they should have designated places to smoke, and I was a smoker for a long time. I never smoked in my house or my car because I can't stand the smell of it, and besides, you should NEVER smoke around children. So, I know some smokers may get offended, but there should be designated places where they don't offend others or get the smoke around kids. When I smoked I never smoked around kids, and if I was at a public place, I usually wouldn't smoke unless I could find a place it was allowed or where there were no people.

I don't smoke in a place where there's a lot of people especially if there are children around. I agree with the other one said that there should be a designated place for smoking. I think it is the smoker's discretion, if he/she is courteous enough, on where and when he/she should smoke.

As a smoker I will have to say yes.Once you are in a smoke free environment for any length of time ,The smoke smells gross when passing it.Check it out sometime after being without a cig. for a hr.,I wish I could quit smelling that !

I do think it is fair to have designated smoking areas in certain areas like amusement parks, etc. I know that smoke bothers people, so I try to respect that. My husband and I both smoke, but we generally don't smoke in the house or in the car when our kids are with us. Having said that, I think that we need some balance to accommodate non-smokers and those of us who choose to smoke. It's gotten to the point that many non-smokers make a big issue of it if they can even get a faint wiff of smoke! That is ridiculous! What about their offensive perfume? Or the offensive food that my neighbor may be cooking? I try to be respectful of others when I am smoking, but I want the same courtesy shown to me! After all, I NEVER blow smoke in their face.
