It's a serious public health concern. It affects everyone.
It affects everyone that smokes.
yeah because the smoke carefully avoids nonsmokers.
It doesn't affect me to inhale the second-hand smoke of the asshole smoking at the table next to me? I think it does.
So, the health effects of smoking are born only by the smoker? There are no economic impacts on the general public? Not to mention second-hand smoke.
Having a healthier society benefits everyone. Having a large portion of the population engage in behaviors that hurt public health is harmful to everyone.
That isn't to say it should be illegal necessarily, but it should be heavily discouraged. That includes by government policy.
Because second-hand smoke doesn't exist...
