Smoking Should be Banned in Public Places.

Unfortunately, I was pre-disposed during the time of the last argument (Vacation). Last round, you asked for citation, therefore I will oblige you.Unfortunately, Your Statistic of "600,000 Die each year of second hand smoke" is horribly wrong. If you had actually taken a look at other sources (Instead of taking the largest number out there) you would have realized that many other sources say 440,000 (I will list the link below).Your source is unreliable. Your source didn't even list their sources for this statistic (Besides mentioning a "new study") and moved directly on to other statistics that were actually supported.My next argument is not a straw man, but it is logic. It is not hard to tell that if someone isn't allowed to smoke in public, they will do it in their private homes. Your next statement (Playing dumb) is childish. You know you are doing it, and you clearly cannot come up with any argument besides "Smoking slowly kills". You have no historical evidence that banning things such as smoking works, nor do you have any idea what the consequence of banning smoking in public places would be.You asked for citation for my 660,000 number. I will provide it below. Moving on to your claim that the government spends 156,000,000,000 on healthcare in the US alone. At points like these, I wonder why the Government is paying our Health bills in the first place (Because of Liberal ignoramuses). The government SHOULD NOT pay for the bad choices made by it's citizens, but in the U.S., the government is required to protect it's citizen's rights to make bad choices."First off" I am studying to become a Historian. from looking at well-known history, we can tell that banning cigarrettes in public places will NEVER work. Look at Prohibition for example, there are multiple instances of mob violence AND the law was repealed. I wonder why? Your argument has been tried, and it has failed. Similar ideas has happened 100 years ago. If they had succeeded, smoking would be gone by now.You claim that anyone who smokes is a murderer, but I re-assert my point that you ALWAYS have a choice as to whether or not to be by smokers. It is very rare that you are forced to be by a smoker for a long period of time. If we look at the definition of "Murder" we would know that "Murder" is intentional, as is Manslaughter. If someone hangs out around smokers every day and dies from it, It is not the smokers fault. (Personal responsibility, and common sense). Lastly, you assume that all of the U.S. Healthcare payments are for smoking, but the amount of money lost in the government is much less than you think. In fact, you failed to realize that even though it may save the U.S. government some money, it would perminately damage the private industry, and lead to borth Farmers and convenient stores going out of bussiness.I assert another point- not so long ago, the tobacco industry made countless people rich, supported the war effort in ww2 and many other wars, provided hundreds of thousands of Jobs, and had a key part in making America what it is today. If the smoking industry hadn't declined, than perhaps it would still be one of the largest industries today (it is till very large). In Conclusion, I will address your "environmental argument". I am not particuarly in favor of ruining our planet, but smoking does not give a significant amount of harmful chemicals in the air. What I AM in favor of, is protecting an endangered species called "job creators", because most products are moving to China or Mexico who unlike us have NO CONCERN whatsoever for the environment and sadly, banning tobacco will not help our "Golbal warming" dilemma.On the bright side, after you ban tobacco and put hundreds of thousands of workers on the street, we will have more time to enjoy the newly saved giant pygmy squirrel! https://www.sharecare.com... http://www.encyclopedia.com...
