 | According to Associated Press, WHO strongly urges all countries to prohibit smoking at indoor workplaces and in public buildings. WHO says tabacco use causes some fatal diseases,and accounts for 10% of adult fatalities. Every year, about 5.4 million die of disease caused by smoking. This figure is estimated to rise to 8.3 million by 2030. More tragically, at least 200,000 workers die because of exposures to smoke at their offices.These secondhand smokers are innocent and are forced to fall victim to tobacco. Smokers! Remember , non-smokers would question why you enjoy yourselves at the expense of others' health. |

| Actually, people around the smoker are really the victims. The smoker himself just abosrb few poisions. However, most of them are absorbed by the people around him. Really bad. |

| Things will only change when we ask more and more people around us not to smoke. I won't ride in a taxi if the driver is smoking. I don't eat out with people who smoke if I can help it. Many of my Chinese freinds are also non-smokers or very light social smokers which is good for all of us. I have asked other diners to put out cigarettes or at least have thier smoke blow somewhere else. I ask people on buses to observe the no smoking signs, if not I sit by the window and open it wide when someone lights up. I just put on my sunglasses and I'm happy with all the fresh air even if others are not. Most people will respect this request or at least smoke less than they otherwise might if no- one complains. I won't stay in a room which is full of smoke any longer than is necessary. No-one smokes in my house, they have to sit/go outside if they must have one. Same goes for the car (at home) If we don't stand up for our rights then others will continue to walk all over us. Smokers are making a statement that they love to smoke. We, non-smokers also need to make a clear statement that we don't like to smoke and especially second hand smoke. |

| "non-smokers also need to make a clear statement that we don't like to smoke and especially second hand smoke" Yes, Jabarootoo. Otherwise those smokers would ingore non-smokers and think that we do not mind. |

| Smoking in a public building was banned in Wales a couple of months ago and this is about to be enforced in England tomorrow (i believe). As a non smoker then this pleases me but it has meant a lot of work for business owners such as restaurants/bars/clubs. It will be odd coming to aplace where people can smoke freely again! |

| We go 'smoke free' in England on 1st July which I think is great. I have part time job where people smoke and I always go home smelling of it. About time they thought of us non smokers. |

| Smoking equals suicide. Cherish your life. |

| A firmer in my village, age now about 50, consume 50 sticks in a day (minimum), his health is very good. How I suggest him, smoking is dangerous to health? |

| Really surprising. His health is still good even he smoke 50 sticks a day? |
