OK, please post what you answered in the poll. Please include your name, age (optional), country, member / ambassador or non-YFCI-member and your opinion. If you would like, feel free to add your opinion or agument as well.
I'll Start:
Voted: YES Name: Zach Country: USA Founder / Administrator of YFCI
My Opinion: I think people have the right to smoke, but not in public. If someone wants to smoke, they should do it on their property. Smoking also creates second-hand-smoke, which is even worse.
WHATS YOUR OPNION?

voted: Yes name: Noor country: Oman Ambassador in YFCI
my opinion: I think that people have a right to smoke but not in public because it affects the other people who happen to be in the same place and they'd be harmed more than the smoker. and another thing since we are talking about smoking: do you see the warning in the bottom of the advertisements in a very very small size of writing that you can't even read it? and also what suprises me is that people know what smoking causes and they still smoke it's beyond me to understand that I mean how can you do something that they know for sure that it harms them more than it does good for them. and why do people smoke in the first place it's a thing that I can't put my fingers on!!! but I respect their opinions coz they know what they are doing to themselves.

Im stacey live in Australia voted yes because i dont want to contract passive smoking and the amount of money being spent is ridiculous where we have millions of people living on less than $2 a day.

Well. The truth is, i'm a smoker. Not that i dont care about myself or the people around me, i just cant think of other things to do when i'm not smoking. I began to smoke when my mind was pretty unconcious. When i was young to be exact. That's why quitting is hard. I will quit but it will take some time. Smoking in public is bad, but it became something that smoker tend to forget. They just dont care. What a disgrace.

Many people hate smokers. I dont know why. Is it the smoker that they hate ? or the cigarettes? or the company that sell the fags? or the retail shop that sell it? or etc2...
I dont know. What i know is that i hate people that's lazy, that never think when they speak, that don't know how to teach, bad-tempered, a thief, a liar, etc2...
But not a smoker. Even if i don't smoke, i will never hate them. Maybe because they are all around me. They are my friends, family or strangers.
Maybe because they are just human with the same beating heart which got hooked on the addiction towards nicotine. Different color, the same heart.
Tell me why we should hate smokers?? Maybe i will learn to hate myself.

Personally, I dont hate smokes. I have many family members who are either smokers or former smokers (my dad!).
Its amazing that you are still trying to quit, and I admire you for that! Zach

I don't hate smokers some of my family members are smokers as well. I just think that they should try to understand that they're harming other people as well. It doesn't just smell awful it's bad for them and others as well. Smoking shoulden't be banned totally in public just create spaces for smokers and non-smokers this away everyone can enjoy what they want. The smokers can enjoy their smoke and the non-smokers can enjoy their fresh air
