Vietnam Bans Smoking in Public: Great Idea or Too Extreme?

Americans hate Anti Semites and Muslim terrorist lovers like you

I see you ran out of your meds.

I see you ran out of your Weed/and Angel Dust Ron Paul Voter
ron kkk paul is nothing but a muslim terrorist lover and Jew hater just like obama

Keep being a cyberbully. Irt fits the Neocon profile.

I see more propaganda from ru kkk paul

Smoking anywhere when there are other people who can potentially inhale 2nd hand smoke should be prohibited. Can't wait till it happens in the U. S.

Well its not gonna Happen this is America land of the Free not slaves to your Health Nazism
we have the 2nd Amendment to insure our freedom just remember that when you start putting on your Jack Boots and i love obama shirt

also... just so you know, i dont think Obama is gonna ban smoking because he smokes himself!

You keep thinking that Obama and his Regime are destroying the Constitution

You don't understand the concept of freedom. Your freedom ENDS where other's freedom BEGINS. Therefore, your smoke is interfering with someone else's FREEDOM to BREATHE. Get over it, you smokers bring this upon yourselves because you are selfish, self-centered, and you could care less about other people's rights. You don't care that you are effecting another's health. It's bad enough we have the gov't shoving GMO food down our throat and flying Chem Trails over us, we don't need YOUR smoke in OUR lungs. Maybe if you smoker's had some respect for another's life, there wouldn't be people pushing for laws like this. So, THANK YOU for helping to form the global fascist state here in America guys.

I see more Nonsense from the obama regime which backs gun control and Jew Killing Muslim terrorist

hey idiot, I own a gun fool. You don't know anything about me or anything else.You just keep parroting talking points and have absolutely NO grasp on reality. It's YOUR KINDS FAULT things like this happen. Be more RESPECTFUL of others rights and things like this wouldn't happen.

Since you live in NY in which a liberal progressive republican runs thins i know you have less freedom then i do
Your Hero FASCUSTBEG also wants to say what you can eat and drink and if you can own a gun or not
He is Just like you a FASCIST control freak

Couldn't have said it better myself. You got it exactly right!

I could care less what people put in their own body I just don't want to have to smell and breathe the same stuff. it's a good idea. Smoke at home or where it NOT A PUBLIC PLACE!

My opinion doesn't matter. The World Health Organization/communists intend to have it banned worldwide in a couple decades anyway, and Vietnam isn't my country.

For the dangers of smoking: there are plenty of other very dangerous things out there. Weed contains chemicals that affect your mind and body. It's also an object being inhaled into your lungs, something not intended for your body. There's toxins sprayed into the air, toxins put into our food and water. If you eat poultry, you're consuming trace amounts of arsenic and antibiotics...

For second-hand smoke: if radiation can dilute in the Pacific Ocean, smoke can dilute in the air. Each person is different, so is the distance, the amount of consumption and the length of time subjected to it. You're probably not going to get instant cancer if someone is smoking in the park fifty feet from you for five minutes. With the allergy defense, I've known people allergic to marijuana (etc). There are people allergic to peanuts.

We get it, you don't like the smell and don't want to take a chance with something you choose not to do. That might seem reasonable to some people, but where does it end? That is the price of freedom. One day they'll get to something you do like.

In a free society, people would be allowed to take responsibility for themselves and choose on their own what they put in their bodies.

And other people have the RIGHT to BREATHE and NOT get a lung full of smoke because some inconsiderate SMOKER is puffing away like a chimney.

And is there some situation you can think of where the people involved couldn't separate from each other or mutually agree to figure out a solution that doesn't involve the law? If it's outside... walk a few feet away from "the chimney"... if it's indoors then the owner of the house/restaurant should decide how to handle the situation. Tolerance could do this world a lot of good.

(And I'm a non-smoker btw, so don't think I'm biased or anything).

Dude, I do. The smoke travels. I have to walk past a spot where they smoke even in sub-zero weather. I shouldn't have to move because they are inconsiderate. If I walk on the other side of the street, they stand there too. They take up both sides of the street. It's unfair and inconsiderate. What I should do is get canned farts and when I go past them open the can and set it down next to therm and see how they like it.

When the incident happened in the restaurant, I did ask the owner to tell that guy to not light up. He did nothing. I mean they are acting like inconsiderate little children who DO need a nanny.
I have to tolerate something that makes me sick? Come on really now.

I do understand your position, it's not the easiest thing to compromise with people who are inconsiderate like that. Still though... there is no such thing as a perfect society and I think putting up with others (and their bad habits) is a consequence of living in a free society. What if you had a hobby or a habit that you enjoyed and someone come by claiming the authority to regulate or even ban you from doing it just because it upset them?

It's not just that it's disgusting, what they do effects my health. If that's the case, then is say someone had AIDS, they have a right to sleep around even if they are effecting someone else's life? If it's a free society then hey, why are there laws against polygamy, MAMBLA, human sacrifice, and a whole host of other insane things.
There is a line, and that line is, when your actions are infringing on another person's freedoms and rights, that's where YOUR freedom ends. Even Dr Paul would say that, in fact I believe he has.

I'm glad you're the one who said it - because of your smoking we can't breath in public.

I never said I was a smoker. However, because of smoking and LOTS of other things you can't breath in public.

And smokers make it worse.

No, you smokers are taking the right to breathe away from others. We don't need the gov't for that.

Where in my statement do you see that I AM a smoker???? A smoker is not taking that right away from you nor making it any worse than all the other polluted things that are in the air every single day.

Um yes it is. They are c contributing to the problem.let them sit in their house or car w the windows rolled up, and suffocate themselves in smoke if they wish to. I shouldn't have to smell their stench and have it in MY lungs. I already have enough stuff assaulting my health like GMOs and Chem trails, I don't need these fools making it worse. Leave everyone else out of it.

mmmm k

The banning has to stop.

Killing innocent people with 2nd hand smoke has to stop!!!

Prove that theory with facts not PROPAGANDA from the SS Reich

Killing People VIA Government Nazi Control freaks has to stop

Keep your smoke to yourself then. Cigarettes are a drug and smokers ARE drug addicts.

I DON"T SMOKE so don't assume it makes you look very stupid. Banning isn't the answer to every problem.

Wow! This poll is really close.

now ban politicians from public places

You've got my vote on that one.

Haha! :-D
