Here in our country, our leader is about to implement a nation wide ban of smoke. And we know that a big number of our populations are smoker. And the cigarette dealers and distributor will react on this and even the smoker of course. Its is favorable for the non-smoker of course, because it said that the second hand smoker are most affected of this. Do we need to set aside the needs or wants of the smoker or we will give them a chance to smoke over and over again?

To break someone's favorite things is very evil, but bad habits should be banned. I think smoking should be banned, it is harmful to the environment, people and has an unpleasant odor. Instead, you can chew gum instead of smoking, as President Obama often does for detoxification. #alexjessi

Both smokers and non-smokers have equal human rights , I think the policy is unfair to smokers. In my country, there are isolated rooms for smoking in public places ,and the government encourages people to give up smoking and has taken measures to improve the cost of smoking .

@deadreak It is impossible to succeed to force smokers to give up smoking thoroughly in a short period of time. Quit smoking is a very hard process for smokers and it needs a long period of time to quit smoking thoroughly,and many people failed to give up smoking.

I think it is a bit harsh to suddenly and completely ban smoking. Some people will find it very, very difficult to completely give up overnight.

My mother is a chain smoker before. But when she got a respiratory disease, she promised to quit from smoking. But I noticed that even though she's eager to quit, she find it very hard. It took her several years to quit from smoking thoroughly. And now I'm happy that she look good and healthy than before.
