Backs smoking restricitons

An issue which will probably never be lived down is one which concerns all of us in one way or another. It is the issue of smoking in public facilities.

I believe it is a violation of a person’s constitutional rights not to be given the right to smoke where they want to.

However, I feel as though laws to prevent smoking in public facilities are good and are strongly needed. It may be a violation of a individual’s freedoms, but it is a violation of anothere person’s healthy lifestyle to have to inhale unwanted smoke in the air they breathe.

It has been proven that if a non-smoker inhales the smoke which was exhaled by a nearby smoker, then the effects of the smoke can be just as harmful to the non-smoker as it is to the actual smoker. I must therefore, support the restriction of smoking in public facilities.
