All I would ask, is if you smoke, or don't, set up areas outside buildings where smokers can smoke, and non smokers shut up, and just don't go in those areas.
Can't stop people from smoking in public areas, but in an enclosed bus shelter that says no smoking... please don't smoke. Non smokers, if there is an area that smokers hang out.... don't go there and then start complaining.
The young lady who takes the bus and walks in public places, I agree it would be so nice to be able to walk some place where we don't have to inhale another person's smoke. It would be nice if smokers would consider respecting a non smoker (adult or child non smoker) and not pollute their lungs. The most garbage or trash that is found on the city streets, are cigarette butts and chewing gum.
Since I don't smoke, why do I have to clean up the cigarette butts from my front yard and the walk way? I hate coming home and finding someone cigarette butt still smoldering after being tossed on my lawn.
I'm not attacking smokers, just asking for respect.
It would be nice if smokers would stay home and pollute themselves instead of everyone else. Why should you be made to stay home, and not allowed freedom.
Some of us ex smokers have discussed how our behavior was selfish. When I stop and think about it, am not happy with the type of person I was to wards non smokers.
I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, these can not be controlled, and people don't respect others very much anymore. They flick the still lit butt it hits your clothing, and it damages your coat or pants. They don't care.
Do you ever feel there is no place you can walk, in public, and not be invaded by it?
Allergies are on an up swing, so is the rate of asthma in children. This is also in non smoking, and homes where a family is living as green as possible.
A friend of mine was ill with cancer.... I found it odd that there was a smoking room for cancer patients. Even more so since most of the patients at this place were dealing with lung cancer. Cancer patients hooked up to their IV's, in various stages of cancer... I could not get over this.
My aunt refused to stop smoking, not matter how many parts of her removed due to cancer. She passed away 2 yrs ago, last month and was only 5 yrs older than me.
You can nag and lecture a smoker (or other person's with addictions), but it's a waste of time and energy. If you were nagged about anything, did you automatically fix the problem, or just roll your eyes and keep doing what ever it was?
My oldest son smokes, he knows how I feel about it. Once a month I say, "nag nag", and he say's I know, you love me, and goes out side for his smoke.
If he will ever stop smoking, it will have to be when it's right for him. Only know this, because I am an ex smoker.
What supplements do you recommend to lower cholesterol? (that is besides diet and exercise)
JMO, used supplements on son with mild form of autism, instead of letting Dr. use him as a lab rat for different types of drugs. (Use behavior modification methods etc. instead of using medication that was supposed to control certain behaviors ... Can not figure out why the DR thought a drug was better than common sense....)
I would not expect people to run their lives around another person's allergies or health issues, but to walk up to someone with asthma and for fun, do things like blow the smoke in their face or do things that will set off reactions is not right.
If smoking is not allowed in a building, would it not be nicer for both sides of the issue, for a smoking area of 2 be set up? Preferably not at an entrance ALL parties concerned, enter the building... example the main entrance would be smoke free?
At work there is a scent free washroom. It means no perfume or hair spray... etc. Some have complained about it being set up this way, but it's one washroom out of 5... you'd be suprised how great a relief it is for the ones that need to avoid if possible things that will set off asthma attacks etc.
On the bus this young lady sprayed her perfume on her self and her friends. A mother with a child around 4 yrs old ask her to stop. The young lady did not like this, and sprayed the perfume in the direction of the mother and child, and thought it was funny.
The child went into a full blown asthma attack. Bus driver stopped the bus, and helped the mother, and got help to come take the child and mother to the ER.
If a person wants to smoke, and goes to a place they can smoke, non smokers should avoid that place. If the non smoker goes where the smokers are, and complains... that is not right.
Common sense, if anyone has it, should know, if a person is allergic to smoke, don't smoke where it's going to agitate, and vise a versa, if allergic, don't go where you know the smokers are.
Nor taxi's, on the bus, in vehicles used for work, example, delivery trucks, ... a group is trying to ban smoking in a car with a child under 16 yrs old.
BTW.... it has been medically proven.... and written up in the medical journals........ that men's brains start to shrink when they turn 21....
Women, when they are pregnant, but it goes back to its normal size after wards. Their brains don't start to shrink until 60 yrs old.
Men are in their prime until they hit 21..... but a woman is in their prime from the age of 35 up......... (and there was no age as to when that prime stopped)...... hmm

RE: Smoking should be banned in all public places
Societies ban book, movies, and people...etc.
