A N OPEN LETTER TO SMOKERS

To my good friends who smoke ,

I don't mind if you smoke . It is your right, and I respect it. It is your life , and it is your health that will suffer in the long run, anyway.

I do understand that you cannot live the day without smoking a stick or two or even a pack of cigarettes, for that matter. It is your money you waste, anyway.

But I do mind, friends, whenever you smoke around us non-smokers .

Because I can't understand why you smoke so carelessly around us, like you don't respect our right to breathe clean air.

I know you like the smell and feel of your smoke, but maybe there are people around you who hate it.

We would like to respect your right to smoke because you are my friends. But can you also please respect my right too?

My right to live a long and healthy life, with my loved ones and family.

Yours truly,
Your friend who hate smokes

Eve, smoking inside restaurants/clubs, it is not the smokers fault if you're seated close to them, the establishment is the one who made the smoking area available.

Starseed, it hard to get a life with smokers around??? What kind of life do you have that smokers are significantly affecting it?

I have asthma and get bad migraines around smokers. So eating out here is really a challenge as the smoking area is like two feet away, their are laws here but no one obeys them, but you still have the right to tell the rest. manager to ask someone to stop smoking. It would be respectful to people like myself that have serious health problems due to smoking chose to only smoke in outside areas where they don't affect others. Thats when one persons freedoms infringes on anothers right to a healthy existance. I have smokers lungs due to 2nd hand smoke and I have never smoked a day in my life, its not fair.
