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.

The article dealt not only with public areas, but with people's homes. I agree with there being limited smoking areas in food establishments, but what about your car or home?
i agree with you, its the peoples choice whether or not they want to smoke. Its not like being discrimanted because of appearnce or race. I believe that smoking should not be permitted in public places, but at home, they should be permitted, as long as they are not affecting other people. Policies of smoking are making it beneficial for bot the non-smoker and smoker.
