Opinions on public smoking?

I’m against smoking in bars/resturants. I know a lot of people hate the fact that they have to go outside to smoke, but really, when a bunch of people are smoking in a small enclosed area, it’s really disgusting. The smoke just lingers, and gets in your clothes, hair, lungs, etc. I don’t want to smell like an ashtray for the rest of the night. Plus, I don’t like second hand smoke. I choke and cough when there’s too much of it. It really is hard to breath around that shit. I’ll never become a smoker. But irony will probably bite me in the ass, and I’ll get some cigarette related disease. Ha.

On the other hand, I don’t give a shit if you smoke outside. It’s not like there aren’t other pollutants outside, like exhaust for an example. Are we going to ban motor vehicles? No. So banning smoking outside is just stupid. Especially at places like Darien Lake. IT’S OUTSIDE. As much as I don’t like smoking, I’m not going to agree with banning it. Just don’t do it around me.

In conclusion, smoking inside a building/vehicle/whatever sucks. But smoke outside as much as your little heart desires.
