No one ever had to go home smelling like smoke because the vast majority of places were already smoke free. It’s nice that non smokers always had this choice. Too bad some feel that smokers don’t deserve it as well.

if this helps anyone.
smoking should bee band completely and if it was up to me I would sue the stupid tobacco company since if it was not for them I would not be sick right now and others would not be dying of lung cancer because of second hand smoke and all public places should be smoke free since smoking is a choice and if I choose not to smoke cause I want to be healthy why would I let some one who don’t care for their life come ruin mine. so if all you smokers want to kill yourself faster stay in your house and smoke yourself to death alone don’t include me or all those who don’t want or choose not to smoke.
