Do U agree if smoking will be permanently Prohibited in Public Places

Hi there,

At this moment, I wanna discuss about smoking at public places. we know that in this day and age, smoking becomes common things for the people . They always smoke without concern about the surroundings ( is smoking akinda universal human right,huh? emoticon-Cape d... (S)

bingung.

Some people thought smoking can liberate their tension and can relax their mind. they may say that it's a very personal matter but How about the nonsmoker like me? FYI, I just know a few info about the danger of smoking but I think smokers should think twice, three times or more than that if they want to do their habit at public places.one of them is :
the danger of second-hand smoke.

Quote:

In 1992, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a review of the evidence available from epidemiological and other studies regarding the relationship between second hand smoke and heart disease and estimated that passive smoking was responsible for 35,000 to 40,000 deaths per year in the United States in the early 1980s1.

Non-smokers living with smokers have about a 25 per cent increase in risk of death from heart attack and are also more likely to suffer a stroke, and some research suggests that risks to non-smokers may be even greater than this estimate. One recent study in the British Medical Journal found that exposure to second hand smoke increases the risk of heart disease among non-smokers by as much as 60 percent!2.
