Smoking in public places
Smoking is something harmful to people and which I do not support. However, everyone has the right to do with their health what they want so I do not mind people smoking, I even have friends who smoke.
Notwithstanding that, smoking in public places is a totally different argument because you are not only polluting but also harming people around you (passive smokers). Many people do not mind other smoking around them. Nevertheless, since I am an asthmatic person, I value so much the clean air.
For example, when I'm at a restaurant and someone is smoking around me, I can't avoid scrunching my nose and trying to ventilate the air with my hands because if I don't do that, the air closes my windpipe and breathing normally becomes harder.
In conclusion, I would like to ask smokers to consider the fact that some people are not comfortable when someone is smoking around them. If you want to smoke near a person, ask them first and set a bit apart from them controlling in what direction the wind blows. You can harm yourself freely, but that doesn't mean you can harm others in the process.
