    After having a look at the following articles at:
    Health Care Article

    Smokers at greater risk of developing psoriasis
    Smoking linked to teen alcohol, drug use
    Smoking may accelerate men’s hair loss

    Well plenty of more ...

    I do smoke but only one cig a day...
    What you think "should smoking be banned" ?

    Regards
    ron

    I don't think it should be banned but I do believe smoking areas should be restricted more and or laws against smoking in forbidden areas should be enforced more. People have their own choice about how they want to treat their body so I guess some people want aren't bothered by the effects of it.

    I for one don't smoke and I despise people who do so where they shouldn't. On occasions I try and tell friends not too but they don't exactly care so there isn't much point in trying. I cannot handle breathing in the stuff though as it makes me cough as well as just being unpleasant.

    Even if I don't smoke I do not support an outright ban. Just be strict on designating smoking areas and do not allow any smokers in public places.

    No. Obviously smoking is extremely bad for you, but so what? People should still have the right to do whatever they want with their own body. I am for legalization of everything.

    Exactly. I agree word-to-word. People should be granted liberty to do whatever they choose with themselves, including suicide, as long as their actions don't intrude upon the liberty of others. Contrary to what most of us think, this will actually lead to a more peaceful world.

    Where I live smoking is already banned in any kind of working environment.. Banning smoking outright would achieve very little except to make criminals more money..

    no, banning smoking is outright BullS*** all it is about is people who have to get in everyone else's business. If they or you think smoking should be banned then you better start walking you ass to work, school or the store because OMG, that exhaust you are putting out is killing everyone, Stop using your gas oven, don't buy a new car because that "new car smell" will kill you(*In California) and so on and so on. Only people who think things like smoking should be banned are just cry babies. P.S I don't even smoke, but I do care about freedom and not being controlled by yuppie freaks!

    If smoking is banned then Government will have a tough time collecting revenues. Because Liquor and Tobacco ginats are the highest payers of tax.

    Smoking companies should be banned, arrested, tried, convicted & executed for genocide.
    I'm not joking. These $5k suited CEO's are the scum of the earth.

    It should be banned any where there is a non smoker present.

    I don't think it should be banned. Smokers have the right to smoke just like I have the right not to smoke. I do think smoking in public should be limited.

    That is interesting, how would you react if all non smokers were banned from every place where a smoker is present?
