It is my personal opinion that each person , regardless of race religion , sexual orientation , or status in life must support the smoking ban . This is because , contrary to the smoking populations opinion , they are not invulnerable to the effects of smoking .

Due to his inconsideration of smoking in the presence of non smokers , my family was constantly hounded by minor health problems such as constant coughing severe headaches , and asthma . My father said that it was our fault that we were always sick . He said that we did not have to stay in the room when he smoked . The problem that he refused to acknowledge was that the smoke he exhaled stayed in the area of the household . So the minute we left our rooms , we would smell the nicotine in the air and cough uncontrollably because of the almost zero oxygen level in the room Eventually , my father got sick .
