Universal smoking ban in public places. Why we need it.

"Your dog mess - you bin it." We have all come across this sign posted at public places. For a society that wrinkles its nose in collective disgust at something as innoucous as dog turds adorning its streets, are we not supra tolerant towards another more vicious aggression on our senses and sensibilities?? Dog turds might be un- aesthetic but they dont give you cancer!!!So much so that although dog poop in public places is illegal, we've been huffing and puffing about bringing a legislation to ban smoking in public places and have yet to succeed.The argument is that every individual has a right to decide what is best for him/her. And so if I stare at the 17 yr old blowing smoke into my face at the bus stop, she stares doubly hard at me.......but honey, your freedom ends where my nose begins......you are welcome to your noxious fumes but you have no right to pollute the air I breathe.I have a suggestion.....just for the time being while we are still debating the feasibility of a complete ban on smoking, why not get smokers to "bin their own mess" as it were. Every smoker in my opinion should take around a bag to exhale in, to absorb smoke. Of course we'll have to come up with a suitable contraption but that's a thought for the world's enterprising lot.In fact, why not get the multi-million dollar cigarette industry to "cough up" a few million towards this end??
