It's not about taking away your liberty it's about making you healthier. Cigarettes cause brain damage, lung disease, lung cancer, it increases your risk of breast cancer as well. There are many unhealthy and addicting factors that come from smoking and when you smoke in a public area you are not just putting yourself but many others in harms way. Why should a student be forced to inhale second hand smoke when they have made the right decision not to smoke themselves? As a person with asthma I almost always have coughing fits after having to walk through a group of smokers, it causes me a lot of pain. So you would say to walk around, but when the students aren't obeying the smoking rules already in place there is no way to go around, and I shouldn't have to. Smoking is an extremely dangerous pass time.

If you are in favor of smoking in public, I am in favor of (1) holding my breath around you (2) not kissing you because your mouth tastes bad (3) noticing your dangerous effluent and pointedly moving upwind from you. What vegetable matter are you indeed smoking? What addictive substances does it contain? Who pays your hospital bill? Will you refuse treatment, or pay the full price, for any cancers you develop in the future?

I am delighted to see that students today, like students from my generation in the late 60's, are taking on the smoking ban issue. The smoking ban is a metaphor for all things fascist and a trigger for control over your future lifestyle. Please turn your research attentions to ASH, John Banzhaf, the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, and the American Cancer Society. These are the people who will decide what you eat, drink, smoke, etc. Investigate the trail of money from them to legislators. Take a look at the fraud imposed upon Ohio voters by the anti-smokers at the time the ban was voted upon. Stop them now.
