- Well, if smoking in public places is to be banned for health reasons let
us also ban high fat foods since they also cause heart disease. Let us take
away all the high fat meals from all restaurants. While we are at it, let us
ban the vehicles that take us there since they emit cancer causing
carcinogens in their exhaust gases not to mention environmentally harmful
gasses. I am tired of the 'do-gooders' running everyone else's life while
burying their heads in the sand with other issues. Oh, and before anyone
thinks it, I am a non-smoker because I choose not to and I would like it to
stay that way i.e. it is a 'choice'. If I walk into a bar where the smoke is
so thick it annoys me I have yet another choice open to me - leave it! –
