Should smoking in public be legal? I think smoking in public should be illegal. Not only does it have serious health risks to both smokers and non-smokers, but it also contributes to air pollution and creates an unpleasant environment for everyone. By making smoking in public illegal, we can protect the health of individuals and have a cleaner environment.
There are lots of benefits of getting rid of smoking in public. To start, it would reduce the exposure of non-smokers to secondhand smoke, which has been a cause of various health problems like heart disease, and lung cancer. Also it would stop young people from starting smoking by limiting their exposure to it in public spaces, which could lead to a decrease in the number of smokers.It can also be rude to have people be smoking in public places. When people go through the scooters drive thru when they're smoking the cigarette smoke seeps into the building and it smells gross. In the scooters drive thru smoking is banned because its privately owned property and there's no smoking on the premises.
Making smoking in public illegal would help to create cleaner air and reduce pollution. Cigarette smoke contains lots of harmful chemicals that can contribute to air pollution, which affects not only human health but also the quality of our air. By making this a law, we can move towards a cleaner future.

I agree with you, smoking around stores or in drive thrus when people are trying to do there job is very disrespectful.
I think it would be great if those products would be illegal, but it's probably never going to happen. So many people smoke and get sick, which is horrible, but this is probably not on the government's top concern right now. Plus, tons of people would most likely break the law for smoking products just because they are so addicting.
I dont think smoking should be illegal but it is very unhealthy. I find it annoying when people smoke around me because I hate the smell of it.
I agree with you with the smell part and how annoying it is.
I don't think smoking in public is illegal. Its outside. At least it is not inside a place. I think its better than smoking inside. Smoking outside should be okay. I understand that it is an addiction and people feel the need to always do it, smoking outside is better than inside.
I think that smoking doesn't really make sense. I understand that it's an addiction for many people, and its very hard to stop, but it really is gross. Not only that, but it has been proven to be unhealthy, and causes cancer. People should not be able to do it.
I agree with you, its gross and nobody wants to sit there and breathe in other peoples smoke.
