Should smoking be banned in public places? Discuss

People should not be given the privilege to smoke in public places. I have the right to walk down the street or sit in a restaurant and not be a victim of second hand smoke. The 2006 report of the U.S. Surgeon General noted that the only way to protect non-smokers from the dangerous chemicals in second-hand smoke is to eliminate smoking indoors. Thus, smoking in common areas has become a sensitive and large issue when dealing with personal rights, but of course it also affects everybody’s quality of life.
