Question

One thing that really gets up on my nose is breathing other people’s cigarette smoke against my will．It is about time that smoking in public places in this country was banned once and for all ．

There is nothing worse than coming home from a bar or club after an evening out and finding that your clothes smell disgusting because they have been saturated（浸透）with cigarette smoke．I am not the only one who is born with this，and I am not some born non-smoker．I just wish that I had a choice whether or not I came home smelling like dirty ashtray．

Another thing that I really hate is walking down the street behind someone smoking a cigarette．Every time they breathe，out comes that cloud of smoke and you walk straight into it and aside from crossing over to the other side of the street．There is very little you can do about it．It is not a pleasant experience and it is one I could live quite happily without．

      I know there are a lot of people in this country that smoke．I am willing to bet that some that are reading this article are fed up with people who don’t smoke．They are always complaining about their “bad habit” and telling them what to do．The simple fact is that smokers are affecting the health of non-smokers as well as their own．People die each year just because they have breathed other people’s smoke and that is something we really should be taking seriously．In my

opinion an outright ban on smoking in public places is the only way forward．
