Firstly, women who smoke actually harm themselves and the future posterity. The woman should protect the organism in every possible way as she becomes a mother. Smoking during pregnancy can gravely harm the health of the baby. Tobacco chemicals can enter the blood stream of fetus and affect the baby's health. Smoking during pregnancy can cause miscarriage, low birth weight, preterm delivery and even neonatal death. Children of smoking mothers can suffer from frequent illnesses like respiratory problems, ear aches and colds. If you wish to bear a child, you better bit give up to smoking. Women smokers can suffer from reduced fertility and their ability to experience a healthy pregnancy is also much reduced.
Even if you don't smoke, you may still be harmed by secondhand smoke. In fact, passive smoking can be more harmful. This is because more than inhaled smoke , the smoke emanating off the burning cigarette end contains harmful substances like nicotine, carbon monoxide and tar. Elderly persons, pregnant mothers, children are generally the most affected by others smoke around them.
Personally I am against smoking in public places. Although i understand that personal rights of other people should be respected, it seems that smokers often neglect the rights of other people. For example, several times I have seen people smoking in bus and other public places and they didn't care about a ban or about the fact that their smoking bothers other people. They continued smoking unless somebody asked them to stop. I believe that smoking in public places should not be tolerated.
