The Belmont City Council voted unanimously last night to pursue a strict law that will prohibit smoking anywhere in the city except for single-family detached residences. Smoking on the street, in a park and even in one’s car will become illegal and police would have the option of handing out tickets if they catch someone

Contrary to what people think, you don't have the right to do whatever you want in public places.

Smoking should be banned throughout the entire world.
Its your right to smoke correct... because you have the phyiscal ability to put a cancerstick into your mouth, its your right.
Well, its my right to physically place my hands around your neck squeeze until u go limp too...
just because you have the CHOICE to do something, doesnt mean its your RIGHT!
smoking hurts the people AROUND YOU.
Its a DRUG, an ADDICTIVE DRUG that affects your body.
The only reason cigerettes are still legal, is because they provide governments with enough funding during elections, to ensure when they are elected they dont allow any laws to pass putting pressure on their nice fat incomes.
Your right smoking is your choice, but after you've done it for 30yrs, and your trying to stop.. how many of you say
'' damn, I wish I never started it has changed my life ''
Would you WANT it to of been illegial back then?
Thumbs up the Belmont, they have taken a risk of angering voters here, but after they lose the addictive nature for these cancer sticks, the people will turn a leaf and thank them for giving them back a healthy life style.
When your given one life on the planet, one chance to love your childeren, watch them grow.. one life to be happy and learn as much as you can.. why are you willing to diminish it just so you can have a fag?
just so you can Stink...
have yellow teeth,
messy skin...
mucasy filled lungs..
brittle hair...
empty wallet...
yeah.. how dare they ban cigerettes.. its my right to kill myself.
well go do it somewhere out of sight so we dont have to suffer while you do.
