Ok, so im doing a paper on public smoking. The objective is to firmly argue against it or for it. I have done some research on the topic and have began to write the paper however i thought it would be cool to get more of a general public opinion on it. So what i ask is if guys could leave me alittle feedback on if you are for or against this subject. Alittle reason why would be cool too. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. If i am out of my mind for requesting this that would be cool to know as well, well thanks in advance to any responders ---

If you happen to get punched in the face and vinegar on you while you’re just trying to have a drink with friends and don’t like it, go to another bar! So what if my habit harms your health and make you smell? Not my problem. ---

It depends on the situation. If someone else is doing something that is going to harm my health and/or well being then I’m sure as fuck not the one that has to be accomodating. If you’re going to choose to smoke then you also have to choose to not bother those who were smart enough to never start smoking and/or strong enough to quit. As long as I’m not choking on your smoke or walking on the butt you just littered then smoking in public is fine. If I’m breating your shit or smelling like ass because of you or living with trash on sidewalks/near building entrances then there’s a problem. ---

I don’t hate joe as a matter of fact i have never met the dude and usually agree with his posts most of the time. This is his opinion, it sucks IMO but whatever. Oh and he likes pearl jam which is gay… > [@BikerFry](#): > > walking on the butt you just littered then smoking in public is fine. If I’m breating your shit or smelling like ass because of you or living with trash on sidewalks/near building entrances then there’s a problem. That too, every doorway to every public entrance seems to be littered with this shit. Its pretty fucking gross. ---

I walk into my workplace and in front of the building I have 20 people sitting there smoking. I walk through this gigantic cloud of smoke. I didn’t choose to smoke, i don’t want anyone else making that choice for me. ---

I hate the group of people standing right at the front doors a building, smoking there because they can’t do it inside. I hate the people that throw their cigarettes out the car window when they are done with their smoke. Part of me says hey they are killing themselves why should I care, but on the other hand it makes me mad that some people I work with smoke, and get sick much more often than me, but yet we pay the same amount for healthcare. Is that fair? ---

Go to almost any other country and smoking rules are 10 times more leniant. When I was in Mexico it was a smokers dream. You couldn’t go anywhere to get away from it. Edit: I do agree with limitations on smoking to an extent. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/opinions-on-public-smoking/21173.md?page=2)
