I think there was some common sence to what David DiGiovanni has to say in his artical. He has a semi-realistic view on second hand smoking, with some inconciderate ideas to make me wonder, " do i need to sacrifice my health for your smoking habit?".
The current law is you must be 30 feet away from the non- smoking building to light up, but he thinks this is wrong. His opinion is the law should be 50 feet away due to the health hazards of second hand smoke. He goes on to say how easily second hand smoke can be prevented, and that especially in the out doors you can find refuge away from the smothering smoke by distancing yourself. I say, "why should I?". I am the one who is making the choice for my health so if smoke is coming my way i will move, but I dont think I should be the one who has to. Another person chooses to smoke knowingly deadly chemicals and I am the one who is in the wrong by being within there smoke cloud.
David concradicts himself in the end of the article saying the non-smokers need to lighten up, and get out the way. When he said earlier that the laws should be more strict. He says himself its a health hazard, but we should just stand there and take it!?
Its just wrong in my books, and others feel the same way too thats why we have a public smoking ban.
