Is so fucking digusting. I hate having to breathe in this shit. We need a smoking ban in public places, ala England, NY, wherever. Totally sick of feeling like I've smoked 3 packs if i go to a bar or PC bang.

Rant over.

smoking inside remains subhuman behavior.

i've said it hundreds of times, imagine a monkey throwing his poo around a room. want that on your clothes? no. now think of the monkey who is throwing it on you, while assuming you don't mind.

It's the business owners' right to allow smoking and the customers' right to not go there if they don't like it. And I'm a non-smoker.

While I'm guilty of smoking in certain restaurants and bars, I just won't light up with children in restaurants.

Bars should have smoking rooms with those ventillation systems or whatever you call them where the smoke is sucked up through the ceiling. But I guess not all or most wouldn't be able to afford or accomodate such a thing.

I'm with Ying-le (as I affectionately refer to that poster).

I smoke, but if I am at a table with people who don't, or there are kids around, I take a p!ss-break and smoke elsewhere.

I will await the posters' mass-approval in regards to my high-mindedness.

Smoking isn't a right.

I half-begrudgingly agree (addiction is a powerful thing). It just seems like it is a 'right', based on Korean typical public policies.

Edit: this post was a grammarian's nightmare. But, it contains the essential nugget, or kernal if you will, of the THRust of my point.

(That meant very little, but I hope that when I wake up and check, someone had something wild and crazy in response.)

Alright and let's ban trans-fatty acids, fast cars, and bungee jumping. None of those are rights either.

Kiddies be damned - I smoke damned well where I please. This is Korea, and perfectly legal here to do so.

Please excuse me for not breaking any laws.

Exactly. Smoking isn't a right, but having the freedom to smoke (or own a restaurant that allows it) should be. I think we should ban cars since they kill more people an airplanes and drugs.

So how bad is the smoking really? Every restaurant? Every bar? Inside school buildings?
