Why is this important/how does this affect
individuals/families?
Smoking in public affects everyone, even people who do not
smoke.
My Views:
Smoking is a serious health risk that has very real and
dangerous health defects, even if you are not the one smoking. Second hand and
even third hand smoke can cause Emphysema, respiratory diseases, and even lung
cancer. Sitting in a bar or restaurant with people blowing clouds of smoke all
around you is not an inviting atmosphere, not to mention how gross it makes
your hair and clothes stink after leaving. At some points in the night at smoky
bars, the smoke gets so intense it starts to make my eyes water and hurt. Having
the city counsel ban smoking is a great step forward for the city of San
Marcos. I have a lot of friends that refuse to go to certain bars because of
how much smoke is there. Because of the smoking ban, business could only
increase for the bars around here, I know that a lot more of my friends will be
going to them.
