If their lives affect the lives of others, as smoking does, then people have a right to stick their noses in.

Given the smoking ban implemented in public places exactly how is smoking now affecting your life?

It doesn't.
Do you feel the same about motorists and car pollution?

Not as sad as those who want to end their lives by puffing away on cancer sticks while polluting the air with their noxious smoke.

Re: Should smoking be banned outside?

There are some dinosaurs who don't realise the smoking ban came in over a decade ago.
It gives them something/someone to gripe about ... same as when they see a kitchen stool they think it's a ducking stool, race off to the village pond with it and try and grab some poor old woman to tie to it.

Smoking does not affect the lives of anyone except the smoker. The anti-smoking fanatics are just busy-bodies who like to interfere in other peoples lives.

If I see someone smoking a cigarette, while walking down the street, how am I possibly harmed ?

This whole issue is just another witch hunt, in a long list of witch hunts.
