Smoking is a filthy and disguting habit, all it does is dry your cells, damage your inside, age your body and make you sick. There are no valid plausible reasons for smoking none whatsoever, makes no sense why someone would want to inhale toxic cancerous smoke.
The only smoker in our family was my father, I asked him once how did you get into smoking, he said, he started smoking to relieve stress when he was in the war and because the others were doing it. I can think of better ways.
In my home state VIC smoking is banned in restaurants, pubs, shopping centres. Government recently announced they are going to ban smoking in outside dining areas and I can't wait. I don't think the ban applies at the casino though, they seem to have immunity from the laws, I think because they don't want to offend high rollers from overseas.
It annoys me how people smoke within 10 metres of shopping centre entrances. I hate how people do that, why can't they smoke where people don't have to walk past them. I want this to be banned and fines issued. I'm forced to breathe when going shopping and can't be avoided. The shopping centres themselves even provide seats and ashtrays within the pedestrian entrance this kind of like invites people to do it. Arghhh I hate that!
In general I agree with you smoking is far less visible now than it used to be. I still see young kids smoking though and I wonder who gives them the idea to do it.
