I am honestly sorry that this happened but i dont think that smoking should be banned in public places. It goes against personal rights. Most workers usually know when they have health problems and if they think that they are going to be affected by their work environment they need to find a different job that suits them better. I do however think that smoking and non smoking sections of places like restaurants should be better separated. and also if they were to ban smoking in public places...I'm pretty sure people can wait to have a cigarette until they get home or in their car. or go smoke outside. it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

i agree with the comment above that its quite difficult to understand those categories.. maybe to cut it short you will end up to be a candidate of having a disease (a smoker or a former smoker).. and actually this article creeps me. i am a smoker and practicing smoking cessation to save my life haha..
