The Best Thing To Happen

4, Feb. 2009


This week I am going to be talking the recent article on msnbc.com about the new Smoking Ban in bars and restaurants. I am all for the ban of smoking in these public areas. I myself have asthma and when I’m in a place that allows smoking it gets to be real hard to enjoy myself. And I know that there are a lot of people who go to these places to enjoy themselves and not want to have to sit in a cloud of smoke the whole time they are present in the place they are in. As I was reading in the article there are a lot of arguments coming from the owners of these different places, especially the bars say that they can’t afford having the smoking ban because it takes away their clientele.

I don’t agree with these people because just because at the moment that is all you ever have for a clientele doesn’t mean that once this ban is established you won’t later have these people come in who never thought to have ever step foot inside the place because they would have to breathe in such terrible air. Another reason why I totally agree on not allowing smoking inside theses public building is when you’re in the place that allows smoking you have to come out the place smelling like a chimney. I live in my home with a smoker and I tell them that they can smoke, but they must go outside. I would never be able to live in my house if I gave them that privilege to smoke in the house.
I also think smoking is a terrible habit that needs to be put away your own health is at risk and your greatly putting other people’s health at risk. I hope what you have read about my blog entry this week you understand what I am trying to say and you totally see my point of view.
