Social Issue

A social issue that comes to mind is whether the ban on smoking in public places is right or wrong. I believe its right. I have no issue with whether someone wants to smoke, thats all their business. However, if your sitting next to people that have chosen not to you no longer just harming yourself but others as well. I have done a lot of research on the effects of secondhand smoking and have come to the conclusion that secondhand smoke is just as harmful as smoking. Some people think that rights are being takin away by putting this law into action. Hopefully most people can see the other side of the story though. When your smoking out in public your forcing those around you to inhale smoke, therefor taking their rights away.
