I feel that you can do whatever you want, so long as I don't have to particapate in it, (second hand smoke.)
You don't have to participate in second hand smoke. Just stay away from venues which allow smoking.

Have you ever thought of how they are knocking up the health insurance cost? Or medical bills?
Have you ever thought about the massive taxes paid on tobacco and the economic benefits of this huge industry?

I would say that 9 out of 10 smokers our frequently dissrespectfull of others, and don't really care how you feel so long as it makes them feel good.
Seventy eight percent of statistics are made up on the spot.

Do you have any evidence?

I think that it should be illeagal to smoke in any public place, or around people under 18.
As long as by place, you mean enclosed place, and by public, you mean publically owned, I agree.

Smokers should only be allowed to smoke in there car or in a house that has no kids. What do you think?
Why not a bar or restaurant? If the owner of a house can allow smoking, why can't the owner of a bar do likewise? Both establishments are privately owned, neither owner is forcing people to enter the smoky environment, and there does not exist an unconditional right to be in either establishment.

And why not in the street? There's no evidence to suggest that smoking in an open area can harm those around you.
