hi. driving cars, and car exhaust create 10,000 times more pollution than a cigarette. I would reccommend redirecting your fight for car free, not smoke free.
if you are truly trying to save lives, more people will become ill and ultimately die from motor vehicles.
if you are going to be single issue, fight the right issue!
I hate having to walk down the street behind someone who is smoking. The smoke is almost unbearable and you can't help but hold your breath. Smoking causes so much heart ache for non-smokers and smokers; one fifth of all deaths are due to smoking related diseases. Why should non-smokers have to suffer the deadly effects of tobacco when they have chosen to live a healthy lifestyle and not smoke? It's just not fair! A ban on smoking in public places would be great, then I wouldn't have to go home smelling like an ash tray every time I go out.
