Advantages: can help stress

Disadvantages: bad for health, annoying sometimes

This is an issue which can cause arguements between smokers and non-smokers. I know that either way I write this opinion someone won't agree with me but at the end of the day it's my opinion what I think. First I am a non-smoker, and I don't really like the smell of smoke.

I think smoking is a bad habit, and can cause cancer even for non-smokers having to breathe it in at public places such as reastaurants.

I will write down the names of a few places and what I think of smoking here.

Restaurants-I know there is smoking and non-smoking areas but the smoke still goes over to you. I personally think that when you are trying to eat it's horrible to have smoke around because it ruins the smell of the lovely food, but if a smoker chooses to smoke it's their choice but they should think of how it affects the people around them.

Bus Stop-I think this is one that I say smokers can smoke because for non-smokers they can move away it's not like they have to stand next to a smoker at a bus stop. I think that the air sort of gets rid of the smell here and IO think smoker should smoke at a bus stop it's a good place.

Car-This is sometimes a common one I have seen a lot of drivers do it smoke with a cigarette in their mouth, this isn't really advisable if you have children in the backseat, it could cause an accident and if the cigarette drops could set the car on fire. I think even if you have the window open the smoke still stinks out the car and the smoke gets in the way when your driving.

I hope that hasn't offended any smokers, because I do have some in my family and I'm not against smoking, I know nowadays lots of young people smoke it starts from the ages of 9 even. It's a habit I don't like but I won't criticise anyone for it. I think it's unfair how cigarettes are a lto of money for smokers but that's another issue.
