smoking or nonsmoking?

What are your feelings towards smoking? What rights do you think smokers and non-smokers should have?

I got these questions off "writer's block" on LiveJournal. I didn't want to write about there, but I will try writing about it here.

My feelings toward smoking are I hate it, it's kind of gross, and I never have nor will I ever smoke! Also, take note that I'm answering this question based off of cigarettes, not weed... maybe some other time I'll discuss my feelings on weed.

But anyway back to the topic. I feel like if a smoker wants to slowly kill themselves with all the bad things in cigarettes that's is fine for them, but they should do it in their own time, and not around non-smokers. As a non-smoker i can't stand the smell or how I feel when I'm around smokers puffing at their cigs. Even when I'm walking to class behind a smoker it makes me feel unhealthy! I guess being outside is better than trapping the smoke inside, but I just guess people should be more aware, and more considerate of non-smokers.

I have known people to have lung cancer and it's hard to think about because that's something that could have been prevented.

I feel like non-smokers have the right be be in healthy environment without smoking going on. We choose not to smoke because of the health risks but being in an environment such as a bar with a bunch of smokers is just as bad as smoking personally. Also, children are always smoked around but that's really bad for the children. Since they're children they either don't know what's going on is bad for them or don't have much of a say because adults have more power over the children.

The End.

I really should be sleeping. Excited to go home though! (I think that's what's keeping me awake).

If you want to know my opinion about something post a comment and next time I'll talk about it.

Peace.
