What would I like to know about my topic?

Why is there still no ban on smoking in public places in South Carolina?  There are many things that are still a mystery to me about the lack of a ban on smoking in public places in South Carolina.  The most obvious question is, "Why would people smoke around children and other people in the first place?"  Are these smokers ignorant to the fact that they are causing these people so much harm?  I believe that if a person is choosing to smoke in a public place they should be aware of just how much harm they are causing others around them.  I think that if smokers are educated about secondhand smoke, they will be less likely to smoke in a public place; however, education might not affect their decisions.  I would also like to know what is holding South Carolina government back from pursuing this ban.  What is involved in passing a ban or law?  Who decides whether a ban is passed or not?  There are plenty of answers out there, I will find the answers -- that will make my voice heard.
