Thanks for the response, but you see as a smoker you do not deliberately go out to harm anyone, you just smoke because you really have to.

Smoking inside is much, much worse, the smoke stays in the room more so people get the smoke into their lungs from second hand smoke. Thats how I became so use to it so when I did start, It was easy for me. Smoking outdoors is fine, its better for other people, as the smoke goes into the sky not into other peoples lungs although I think it causes damage to the world or somthing.

I agree with you but why should I be restricted when I am smoking outside, why should smoking in the park prohibited?

Thanks for the response, I understand why I can't smoke in a confined space such as a room. What I do not understand is why do I have to check whether there are people next to me before I light a ciggarette
