Ilyas, Good that you've brought in a new topic for discussion. I am a non
smoker as well though not a teetottler ;-) While I agree and understand your
concerns, it would only be right to say that to smoke or not to smoke is a
personal opinion. While it does harm those who smoke and also those who do
not, if smoking in public is banned and designated places are made available
for smoking, as in singapore, I think it should be of less concern / worry
for others. Maybe other nations will have to take a cue from this and adopt
strict measures. No one has the right to say not to smoke.
Again, from the macro economic perspective, if you see, there is a lot of
revenue generated out of the sale of tobacco. There are a lot of
sponsorships, events, etc. The government indeed mentions in its campaigns,
etc that smoking is indeed harmful for health. But all boils down to each
individual or should I say smokers, to realize the harm of smoking and quit.
Autocratic decisions such as ban of smoking is not the right solution.
Any voices?
