Ban Smoking in Public Areas

     When I came across "Ban Smoking in PublicAreas" by Bethany S. in the December issue, I thought it was a goodtopic. The article told how bad smoking is for your health. Some people thinkit's cool, but they must not know how terrible it is until they (or someone theyknow) get a disease like cancer.

Would you like to walk across a publicarea where people are smoking, and start coughing and choking? Why shouldnonsmokers be forced to get a disease or be around smoke? Smoking in publicplaces should be banned.
