Wow. I hate smoking and my husband is a smoker. We try to get along with his habit and have made changes for each other. He smokes outside our house and if it is so cold for him to go out he goes into the bathroom, closes the door and blows the smoke out the window.

In public i glare at people who smoke around me. It makes me so mad that people will smoke around everyone without thought that someone might not like it. I know, i know, what about the smokers and their rights? Well i feel that if you are doing something that you know could upset someone else beside you, don't do it. I am always thinking of the next person. I don't blast my music unless i am on the highway, i don't answer my cell phone unless i am away from anyone who could listen in, i don't spit my gum out on the ground for someone else to step in. I just feel that if everyone was thinking of the next person that we wouldn't be having all these problems. If you want to smoke in public do it where the smoke wont waft up into the next persons face.

 In Australia, it is slowly but surely being introduced. I'd say in about 10yrs time, the only place a smoker can smoke will be in their own home. Why should everyone else suffer for someones dirty, unhealthy habit? And everyone having their freedom, non smokers shouldn't have to put up with you mob puffing away on your death sticks.

 My grandfather died from lung cancer thanks to smoking... No need to harm others with second hand smoke.

 Yeah... I really agree. Smoking is not only bad for the person doing it, but everyone else around them.

 Its already been introduced in Scotland that there is no smoking in public places and i think its brilliant. People can still smoke in their homes and gardens but they don't disturb other people who try and enjoy their day elsewhere. I for one couldn't walk down the town without having at least 1 coughin fit - the air is much improved. I'm 100% behind it

 Smoking KILLS if you smoke do it in the privacy of your own space

 Come on, why post such an obvious debate. Look at all the "for" agreements. It makes no sense to smoke in a bus full of people with lung cancer.

 Yes smoking should be banned not even on public places but also at every place.

 Absolutely. People including kids take the smoke as second hand...
