"Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life." This utterly ridiculous quote is from Brooke Shields and it made me giggle :-D
In class we recently debated the Michigan Smoking Ban... I am totally for this! I'm tired of smokers whining about how we are infringing on their rights... when I come to the bar I don't pollute your air so how am I infringing on your rights? How about when I go to a restaurant to eat... am I making you cough or causing your child to have an asthma attack? Don't go complaining that the restaurant should install better air vents or filtration systems or that the smoking section should be further away from the non-smoking section because guess what when you're not a smoker you can smell it either way. I'm sure this will upset some people, but sorry about your bad luck because I am entitled to my well backed opinion. Look up the issues of secondhand smoking there is NO safe level of secondhand smoke and the complications are endless. Why should I have to stay home just to avoid it? I am not causing you any harm so why am I the one losing out??????? What about the kids who have no choice in the matter??? Where have our ethics and feelings of moral obligations gone???? Smoke at home or in your car I don't wanna smell you in or near public buildings. Oh and here are some facts to back my big mouth up... see if you can look into it between cancer stick breaks
