Bro, stop. Most people can't smoke inside bars, restaurants or public places. Lets be real. I hate cigarette smoke too, but come on now, the laws we have in place in most US states ban it.

I live in Nevada, lots of indoor smoking, I just deal with it.

what does that have to do with anything lol?

It isnt as black and white as
Restrictions = bad
Freedoms = good

The freedom to do some things can be incredibly detrimental to society. Smoking is one of those things and there are no positives to speak of.

Omg bro dun fuk with my rights bro RIGHTS MY RIGHTS.

I'm referring to smoking in and around kids. If you overall reduce the amount of people smoking by which a ban undoubtedly will overtime you will reduce second hand smoke kids breath in in their own homes.

The obvious but poorly thought out argument against that is that people who want to smoke will still smoke via supply from second markets. Yes that's true but that does not mean overall smoking takes a huge decrease in numbers which is the goal of this not outright seeing figures drop to zero.

Pretty much.

good for NZ. smoking is a bad habit and people should be forced not to do it.

they should next ban alcohol, and then processed foods, refined sugars, and sugary drinks in general. also meat > 20% fat (actually all meat), $5 meal deals, fast food, and fried foods. eliminate hunting and farming in general while are at it. also anything competitive like sports or businesses. it’s for the good of the people.

just imagine the damage to future generations when a kid sees an adult eating a fried chicken thigh while guzzling it down with a beer or a coke during a sporting event. horrific.

They are forcing children not to do it, when you are a grown adult you will use the black market like everyone else.

It is a super unreality disgusting addiction. I hope to see it banned worldwide.
