1. There are no circumstances where smoking should be allowed. There are no positive aspects to smoking. It pollutes the air, smells awful, stains walls/ceilings/ other things, and causes life threatening health issues to every living organism it comes in contact with. Smoking should not be allowed in any public place because it is endangering the health of others.
2. Non-smokers should not have to suffer at home while living with a smoker. The cigarette smoke of family members is not only detrimental to their own health, but the health of the family member as well. Second hand smoke can cause meant health issues from asthma to lung cancer. There is no reason a non smoker should have their health compromised for the addiction of another.
