- Public places means restaurants, bars, etc. Not on the street.
That's how it was explained to me at least.
Yeah I know. I think it SHOULD be allowed on the street though. But that's just me.
It is allowed on the streets. :shifty
Because if it was banned from the streets you really couldn't smoke anywhere. Except in houses and bars. >.>
A council somewhere in my state, I can't remember where, is thinking of intorducing laws that will stop people smoking on the street.
Their argument being, they own the street. So you may smoke on your own property, that's about it.
I have nothing against smokers, but it's pretty much a pointless thing to do, in my opinion .. I just think, like, a culture has developed, and it's become a social thing to do, or people do it to 'relax'. I respect people's right to smoke but it seems like something you would want to, erm, eradicate slowly from society? It's so harmful, and that. People who are already addicted should be able to keep doing it, but there's no reason for people to
start smoking, is there?
Idk. I find the smell disgusting, I only tolerate it in my house 'cause my dad smokes it layered with pot, so it doesn't smell as bad. And even if it did, I wouldn't complain, I've been 2nd hand smoking since forever and am pretty much perfectly healthy. But some people don't like it and I think young people thinking of starting should pick a different habit, like social drinking. That's, like, actually healthy in moderate amounts I believe.
Uhhh yeah so I kinda think we should drive smokers off the streets with little kids running around and stuff, and people should try to quit if they can, cause if you don't care about your health there's loads of other stuff you could do instead like base jumping as a social thing. Or boxing to release frustration. Or calm meditation when you're stressed. Idk.. I'm straightedge so I kinda believe in slowly eradicating all the poisons we put into our bodies, but yeah. Personal choice in the end, I'm not going to tell anyone what to do with themselves.
