The question of whether to allow smoking in public places may bring a quandary for those who have never actually been addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes. When smoking in public place, it generally refers to spaces, which are closed spaces, or where it would intrude on other non-smoking people in society today. Let me see, how do we define a public place. Well if you think hard, you might realize that anything-just standing outside your front gate is a public place. Now if you rent a house and your property owner tells you that you cannot smoke inside the house, would that make your home a public place? The world is rapidly changing these days. The only thing we can be sure of will all these now rules and regulations is that perhaps the next generation of people may enjoy more important things like the smell of fresh air. It is a very interesting debate over the subject of whether smoking should be allow in public places. This is a topic, which of course may create huge differences in opinion. For the millions of people in the world today who had taken up this ever so difficult to stop habit it has caused much anger. Being a smoker myself, I believe that it would almost be an impossibility to pretend the world can stamp out smokers like they are a malignant type of growth of some kind.

Basically we all choose usually early in our lives to take up this filthy habit unknowingly at the time, that it becomes an horrifyingly addictive substance which can create more problems than we expected, if f just to relax us in the first place. I am a smoker, but do believe it is a very difficult habit and addiction to break free from. If we look back in the early generations which knew nothing of the impending dangers to health and finances, we see that not only was smoking promoted in such places like the movies, advertising and sponsorship of events it was basically showing people that it was a very cool thing to do. Look at some old black and white movies and see how many Hollywood Stars smoked! Of course the reason for my debating the issue of whether smoking should be allowed in public places is to make non- smoking people realize it is not always a simple and dried case of "Oh just shut up and give up". I believe the coming generations shall change and benefit from all the procedures in place with anti-smoking campaigning, but for the older generations of people that are dire hard smokers and may never change, we should look into designated smoking areas and that
