Public smoking should be outlawed

Everyone who takes up smoking is doing it at his own risk (because, basically, they know the effects of cigarette smoking on their health). So the title FOOL fits them. A fool is a person who does something knowing full well that the consequences of his/her actions will be to their detriment.

For a safer Generation, please ponder on these two points:

· There is something I plead with these cigarette companies to do first:
Sirs, there are some words written at the bottom of the cigarette packets. They say:

“Cigarette smoking is harmful to your health.”

But they are written in very small print. Please make the writing a bit bigger so that everyone can see them and decide whether or not they want to proceed with smoking.

· All governments, the world over, should ban smoking in public areas. At least this will reduce the number of people who suffer from lung cancer (and other diseases) due to passive smoking.
At least there are some governments that have taken the cue!
For instance, the government of Holland recently (in the past few days) passed a law forbidding people from smoking in public areas. The law will take effect as from January next year.

Will more governments follow this trend?
