Why not ban the pollution of stinking cigarettes in public parks? It is annoying to be out with friends and family and then find your self downwind from the stench of someone else's addiction.

I second that thought! Yes! It is an addiction and it smells very much like burning dog poo. Try as you smokers will to justify your addiction.....it is offensive! Excuse me but while you are gasping with tubes up your nose, I will be out hiking in the mountains. Bye!!!!

I agree. Smoking is not a right, as most smokers will have you believe. In addition, second-hand smoke is more dangerous to those around the smoker than the smoke is to the person joyfully puffing away. I'm sure no one would mind heroin addicts shooting up and sharing with kids.
