The last question I ask is, "is a ban on smoking in public places in South Carolina plausible?" The answer is yes. I believe that having a ban on smoking in public places in South Carolina is plausible. Even though it may take a while, maybe even a couple years, it can still happen. Having this ban is plausible for three reasons. The first reason is that yes, people would be upset, but they will get over it (EBSCO host). They will realize that by just going outside to smoke they are saving so many others lives. Since some smokers probably are ignorant to the fact that secondhand smoke is so fatal, and how much harm it causes, when they are educated of these facts most will probably be more than willing to spare nonsmokers and others around them by just going outside. The second reason is 47 states already have a ban on smoking already. If the majority of the states in the United States already have this ban and it is working effectively, I think that South Carolina will be just fine. The third and final reason is that some restaurants and bars in the Charleston, South Carolina have put bans on smoking in their establishments; some restaurants Greenville, South Carolina have a similar ban as well, and they are both still thriving financially. Since some places in South Carolina have already taken the steps to a healthier community and succeeded, there is no reason that the rest of the state couldn't follow.
