Smoking in Public Place - what will be in your mind?

hi,arun,why public places..even private places also it is dangerous bad habit...especially the bad effects of passive smoking.One has to realize them selves,no government and no rules do nothibg. Have a nice day.

I think everyone agree that smoking is bad for health, has no benefit at all. (although I'm smoking LOL ) But smoking in public places has it own ethics, I think you should warn the smoker to smoke in private place coz it's disturbing people around him/her.

i am not at all for smoking,when in public places smoking is really bad for health as people who donot smoke become passive smokers which consiberably affects the lung,hence smoking in public places should be avoided.

Giving up smoking is difficult, for some more so than others. Genetic disposition has some play in that. I have noted that most smokers, although not all, are decent people who take comfort of nonsmokers into mind when they light up and do so where they will cause least discomfort. * Most smokers I know are from a generation who started their habits when the smoking industry hand in hand with the medical industry flat out lied and boasted of smoking's health benefits. Seems bazaar, but times have truely changed. * Making smokers society's scape goats is not going to make the healthful quitter out of the smoker. It will simply make him or her a resentful puffer.

Even though smoking gives and instant boost, it will cause permanent damage to our lungs and other respiratory organs. People smoking in public place is causing harm to themselves and other, who does not want to harm themselves. Even if I were a smoker, I wont do that. If I see such an action I will ask them to find some private place.

Hey there. I think about smoking a way of killing yourself very slowly. Some people think it's very cool that's is why they're trying to imitate or wanting to be with people who smoke. Maybe to some people it gives instant energy but I think it doesn't do it. It is just a way of killing yourself slowly. People who smoke in public places should be careful and just be with the others who smoke and not affecting the people who don't want to breath in smoke. If something like that happen I will just ignore them and go away very fast. Just don't mind their business, they are the ones who kills themselves slowly.

I dont like smoking.With out banning such products,it is very difficult to keep people away from this bad habit.There is limitation in a waring the people about the hazards that caused by this had habit.Self determination is the best method to keep away from this.

Hi arun, I won't accept that smoking will boost my energy because I am a non- smoker. It may be right with the smokers otherwise they won't addict with the same. I have seen that my boss is smoking continuously when he is writing an article that time he needed to boost his brain and he adopted the method of smoking. This means, it really depends on the attitude of the person, if somebody thinks that, he needed some kind of bad habit to cherish some ability then it entirely upon the individual. Smoking in public places is not justified. May be the smoker can’t control the urge and the person just forget about others and doing the same to fulfill the urge. Since it is an addiction nobody can help them.

Smoking is disgusting. I hate going out to a bar and coming home and my jacket and hair smell horrible from smoke, and I don't smoke. It takes me sometimes 3 times to wash that smell out of my jacket.

people who enjoy smoking in public are either doing it to make people feel they belong to the high class, but there is nothing classy about it, they are just a bunch of silly people who are endangering their own lives as well as the lives of the people around them

Hey arunmails, I am a smoker myself and I would never smoke in my apartment or vehicles. I think it is disgusting to get everything in my house including all my cloths full of smoke and nicotine smell. I am thinking of quitting sometime in the future because it is a disgusting habit and people certainly should have a right to smoke-free air. No questions asked. In Canada it is illegal to smoke in any public places and some by laws even include no smoking in parks and on sports fields. Some communities have even had by laws to ban smoking on sidewalks or all major bus stops and subways. Take care

I don't like smoking because it is harmful to your health and smoking in public places should not be allowed be cause of the effects of secondary smoking. This is a situation where a person who is always around a smoker and suffers from the negative effect of smoking. I may not say it but will definately not stay around smokers

I don't smoke but i have nothing against people who smoke just as long as they do it in the proper place. Smoking is bad for our health, survey says that its even dangerous for non smokers to inhale second hand smoke. But smoking has been a vice of a lot of people and its not going to go away soon. It's just so addictive that it will really require a strong will power to get rid of the vice. Its just a matter of respect, if someone wants to smoke then go to a smoking area and i'm fine with it. Cheers!

i was smoker and yes i gives a boost for novice smoker but after a few months i noticed some bad effects in my health, like having hard time catching my breath if i run so i stop my habit for almost eigth years now...is ok of me if people are smoking in a OPEN public place cause that's the right place for them

I do not like to be exposed to smoking, it is a person's own choice to smoke but second hand smoke is very dangerous and I don't want to be exposed to it.

I smoke a lot but not in public. I am courteous enough of doing it that way. Some of them wouldn't want to inhale the smoke coming from me, or with someone else. If I can see someone smoking in public places, I'll probably join him No, just kidding, I would probably inform him that since it is a public place, he should not be doing that there. He can wait until he reached a smoking zone, and hit his but* til he dropped.

I don't care much for smoking. I know what it really does. I live with a man who likes to smoke and knows he needs to quit because there is fluid in his lungs that can't be delt with until he quits. However, he choses to use it as an escape from his problems because he's got himself believing so deeply that it will actually solve his problems or numb him to reality. Now as for smoking in public. As long as people don't take their cigs on busses, or inside buldings, then they can smoke all they want no one is going to stop them. I can't avoid smokers as they are everywhere in this world. And, as long as I don't have to breathe it then I don't care what they do with their lives. Now, the man I live with I nag constantly -- why? Because I love him, I can see that he's suffering and damn it its to painful to watch. I've already lost both my parents to natural causes I can't sit back and watch George slowly kill himself because he wants to make stupid choices. So I'll constantly be on his tail until he actually makes that desired change.

Personally I hate when people smokes in public because I can't stand the smell. Moreover, It can cause second hand smoke which I do not want
