I'm opposed to it because it affects other people, not just the person smoking the cig. Ever have the situation where you are walking behind a smoker on your way somewhere? Or sitting outside at a table at a restaurant and a smoker is nearby? If they could keep the crap to themselves I wouldn't care at all. It is their choice to smoke and I'm not about to interfere with the freedoms of the USA just because I think that choice is wrong. But I am going to get pissed when that damned secondhand smoke comes to my lungs. One time my parents thought I was out smoking because my jacket smelled strongly of it. No, I was just at a bowling alley where there was a crapload of smoking going on. See how it can affect others? Having your relative die from cancer can affect you as well. Damn, why do I sound so angry?
