Have you ever been in some place and were exposed to secondhand smoke from a cigarette? Do you realize that the smoke you just breathed in can cause you to have the same health problems as the actual smoker? You will not get these problems as quickly as the smoker, but there is that chance. This is why the bans were put in place for almost all buildings. Do you remember when you went into a place to eat and you were asked smoking or non-smoking and then you were still in the same room? You might not ever be asked that question in a restaurant again.
The bans themselves were a good idea, but it hurt a lot of places of business. Let us ask this, do you remember going to the local bar after work and by the time you left you smelled like a walking cigarette? Just think whether you smoked or not what all of this smoke can do to the inside of your body. There have been cases of non-smokers picking up the smoking habit because they say that since they smell like the others cigarette they might as well smoke too. Do you remember going into these places and looked up at the ceiling and saw nothing but brown residue because of this heavy smoke?
The smoke damage to these places probably cost them a lot in insurance, professional cleaning jobs, and even repainting. Then you had the outdoor fireworks display even though this was outside you still were able to receive the smoke from those cigarettes on top of the fumes from the fireworks. Now they have made it so that you can not smoke in public buildings, but there are some places left that you can get this secondhand smoke.
These places are left up to you the smoker if you want to smoke. It might be on your boat or in your car. Then you might invited a bunch of your friends for a good old fashion barn dance or a pool party. It up to the people throwing these parties at any of these places and the people smoking to make sure that the smoking of cigarettes do not hurt those around them. If you as a non-smoker find that you might be exposed to this smoke simply move. Of course, even when you have the ability to chooses whether or not you want ot smoke somewhere you are allowed to, you still have to be considerate of others around you that do not smoke.
