I think a cigarette contains some substance, which is dangerous, so a cigarette is so bad for your health. When you smoke a cigarette, Nicotine will be collected in your body especially in the lung.
I think everybody wants a � No Smoking� law in everyplace in your country because the law can help protect you from cancer for a benefit for yourself and some people around you.
As a result, we should stop smoking a cigarette for a good health in the future. What do you think about this story?

Hi, I'm an American, and I think that people should have the right to choose whether or not to smoke. However....the problem arises when one person's rights interfere with another's! If someone will smoke in a place that does not bother anyone else (hard to find, though), then I think he should have that right. However, if a person is smoking right next to me, then it's just as if I'm smoking, too! Smoke goes down my throat and the stench lingers on my hair and clothing. Since I didn't choose to smoke, I should not suffer the consequences of smoking.

It's especially sad when parents smoke. The children cannot escape the smoke and are forced to "smoke" too. I find it very sad.
