It's kind of insulting .

For the following statements please state whether you strongly agree, agree, uncertain, disagree or strongly disagree.

Smoking is allowed in places serving food.disagree

Smoking is allowed in places serving food but only in designated areas.agree

Smoking is allowed in pubs, bars and nightclubs that do NOT serve food.agree. Smoking is part of the culture of bars...If people couldn't smoke in bars here...my God they'd throw a fit. I wouldn't know what to do with myself, I'll tell you that.
Smoking is allowed in places where children are present. Disagree

A smoking ban in public places will effect business. agree. Anything will effect business. If it rains outside business if affected. I know plenty of people that boycott resturants that don't allow smoking. Especially in the South where some people's livlihood IS tobacco...

Smoking is a freedom of choice. agree

By the way I hate the way people always go "People who smoke are SELFISH". OMFGSTFU. You do NOT know me. I am one of the most considerate people in the world. I NEVER smoke in people's houses if they don't smoke, and even if they do smoke I ask their permission. I don't smoke around people who don't like it....and I don't smoke in people's cars...(unless they are smoking in them of course).

If someone made a braod statement about ...say .....blacks it would be called...geez, whats that racism. Making a broad statemant about ANY group of people is pretty ignorant IMO, but I guess thats just me.
