1) The author trys to tell the reader that second-hand smoke is very harmful for people, it is said that it is even more harmful then actually smoking a cigarette. I think that smoking should be banned in certain places such as apartment complexes in order to save the risk of hurting others. As a non-smoker, I feel like it would be the right thing to do, to save people from sicknesses and diseases that come along with smoking and second-hand smoking.
2) No I do not think it is discrimination against smokers because they know how harmful smoking a cigarette is. I think that it is a matter of choice of if you want to smoke or not, although it is very harmful to the person smoking and many around them. There are many public places that I think smoking should be limited from such as school grounds, play grounds, airports, malls, etc. This isn't to offend smokers it is to protect non-smokers from being exposed to smoke. I know that whenever I smell smoke around me I feel very bothered.

I feel the same that they should ban smoking in apartment complexes..
ReplyDeleteI Agree... they should ban smoking in apartment building but still allow you to smoke in your own home
ReplyDeleteGood call on the author's purpose. he did try to inform by presenting two sides to the argument. The argument is not if smoking is harmful, but are we invading and trying to regulate what happens in our own homes.
ReplyDeleteHey Anthony, I also agree with you how i think the Author point of the story is that smoking is bad for you but people still do it.. I think you should quit smoking.
