Smokers: Discrimination or not?

I do not think smokers are being discriminated against. It is a persons personal choice to become a smoker or not. As some people are comfortable with a smoke even though they aren't a smoker but, some people cringe at even the sight of a cigarette. Public places are allowed to put signs permitting people who smoke to do the act or they are not able to. They never know which person minds the act or doesnt mind. If smokers feel they have the "urge" public places should have areas away from doors and windows where they can smoke. Also im public eating places, do the same or have a "smoking and non smoking section" but the smoking section would be inclosed in a room. Other than public places having resrictions on smokers I do not think it is discrimination Just smokers smoke at their own risk and shouldn't have to risk anyone other than themselves.

Primary colors

1) The story the author was trying to tell how people judge people by the color of their skin. Her daughter was born lighter than her, eventhough she has a darker skin complexion. even though someone may not look like their race you never know and should never say anything you wouldnt want people to say about you. When she wished her daughter was darker for the sake of other people she was concerning her self with other peoples problems and not her own. If she loves her daughter she should not care what people say.


2) I have never really been discriminated against. I am half hispanic and people think i am lying when I tell them that. When I wear shirts of my country people give me mean stares and think i am mocking the culture. People shouldnt judge a book by its cover. just because i am only half hispanic, my skin is lighter and i do not speak the language people see me as being "fake". i have learned to ignore their comments and know that only ignorant people dont except other people and who they are
