Try this. I worked for an airport shuttle. In 8 years I can't count the number of times I had an asthma attack because someone wore too much perfume. And I had NO choice. ANd yes, it may not cause cancer but your lungs shutting down can kill you, especially when it happens on the freeway at 70mph. I agree there should be smoking/non-smoking areas. With a good filtration system, most of the smoke goes away. A place near me did that and it cut about 70% of the smoke out. There are good compromises(can never spell this word) available but no one wants them. It's just no smoking period. And yes soon you won't be able to smoke in your own car if a child is present. It is being discussed. I feel no smoking in places should be an option, not mandatory. Non-smokers say they have no choice but for the most part you do, it's called don't go there. And please I don't want to hear, but that's not fair because I like that place. Try being a smoker and go without a cig for several hours. It's not fun either. Or not go to your favorite place because it's too cold or stormy to go outside to smoke. Businesses in Ohio were hurt, some still are down in business because of the ban. All I am trying to say is everyone has a choice, to smoke, not smoke avoid plaves that are either way. I started smoking due to stress. It's what keeps me calm right now. I go too long without and I get bitchy. Instead of a ban, why not offer businesses incentives to go non-smoking and help businesses that want to keep it, upgrade their air systems to help eliminate most of the smoke. They keep raising the taxes on cigs so why not put that money to good use.
