It's hard to argue against public smoking bans being a huge positive for society. As long as it's legal in your own home, I don't have a problem with regulating it in public areas.
- zeveb 10y agoI disagree: telling consenting adults what they may and may not do _in private_ (because 'public smoking bans' have so far almost been bans on smoking in private establishments) is never good for society. And anyone who thinks that smoking in actual outdoor public spaces is a health threat is simply incorrect.
