smokers will say anything to make themselves sound right. about the girl above who died-it is hard finding a good job especially being a waitress-and if there are any smoke free restaurants i bet they are fully staffed. for B that said: "i grew up with friends and we all smoked and so did our parents and none of us died". first of all-you don't know how they died, they could have had a heart attack-which was caused by blocked arteries, which was caused by second hand smoke! in your day-that was then...today thousands of people are dying each year. The media has nothing to do with how people feel...the truth is what makes people speak out against smoking. i am writing an argumentative paper for an english class, and after doing a lot of research I cannot believe I smoked when i turned 18. i did socially when i went out to a bar(which is now smoke free!) and i just can't beleive i smoked at all. it is very hard to find a restaurant to eat at that is smoke free. there are only about 3 or 4 good places to eat at that are smoke free in my city. i think it would help businesses-though I hate tourists, they would bring more money to our city and restaurant owners would make a lot more money. me aving a 2 year old son now-i will never smoke again, and hope he doesn't grow up to be like the little punks out here that are smoknig when they are 13 and 14.
i am right...smokers are wrong : )
