There are many fatal dangers to secondhand smoking. Community members and health practitioners alike are worried that the levels of nicotine in the air are so high, if exposed to enough, can be deathly. There is no discussion that breathing in someone else's smoke is harmful. Also, if smoking is banned, it will hopefully deter people from actively smoking; however, this ban may deteriorate the area's hospitality industry.
"' There is no longer a scientific controversy that secondhand smoke is a killer," he said. The report "eliminates any excuse from any state or city for taking halfway measures to restrict smoking, or permitting smoking in any indoor workplace.'"
There is no doubt that secondhand smoking is fatal to everyone. There should be no reason that restaurants and public places in general to have a ban on smoking. This ban is especially effective when dealing with a place that is small, enclosed, and with little ventilation.
