I hope they start that in all the US states..I'm sorry but I get so sick and tired of driving with my windows down and someone in front of me is smoking and that crap flys in the window

Smoke in your own home, not infront of a business, restaurant, apartments...why should a non smoker smell your funky smoke...

OK!

I'm torn on this subject. I think that smoking should be banned while driving IF there is a child in the car. I think that smoking in front of a building at a public entrance is unnecessary. I think that you should be able to do whatever you want in your own vehicle, as long as it doesn't pose a hazard to other drivers or passengers. The only time I've ever been irritated by another driver smoking is when I was driving the jeep with the top off and a passenger to my left was smoking. The smoke wafted right in my face. It was .

I agree. I wish they had smoking/non smoking base housing. We had our downstairs neighbors move out last week, and when maintenance opened their door for the day while they cleaned I could smell the cigarette smoke in my apartment two floors above. I hate smoke.

I'm sick of having smoke in my face everywhere I go. The malls here when you are entering the hallways all you can smell is cigarettes because of people standing outide the doors smoking. I know people have a right to smoke.. but it's so harmful and offensive to so many people. Second hand smoke actually gives me a bad headache.

i'm going to post from both sides of the argument, because i've been both

as a smoker: no one has the right to tell me where/when/how i can smoke, because it is my body. also if i want to smoke in my car let me, if i want to smoke outside starbucks let me, just walk away from it.

not as a smoker: honestly i think they need to enact some ordinances such as within 500ft of a building you can't smoke or have designated "smoking" areas like they do at airports and bus stations. also they shouldn't be allowed to smoke with a child in the car OR in their house with a child there.

unfortunately making it inconvienent isn't going to stop the smoking industry just like raising the prices or having those "truth" ads that are MADE by a cigarette company. how many businesses do you think will really make a call if people are smoking closer than the ordinance "allows"? none that i've ever met!

But why should I have to walk away from YOU? You're the one inconveniencing me with your decision to pollute your lungs and the air that I breathe. You're the one putting my health in danger, so why do I have to be the one to walk away? And then let's talk about my child while we're here. How fair is it to her that you want to smoke in a doorway that she will walk through or be carried through?

I used to be a smoker, but I had the courtesy to look out for those that might not appreciate my habit.

oh becca i agree i was just throwing out typical arguments

i always tried to not exhale when someone with a child or when a non smoker was walking past because that was just rude and i noticed people extended the same curteosy to me after i quit smoking

K. I just threw out my typical reply to your typical argument
