I HATE the no smoking in club rule!!!

It robs away the kind of right to do something in a public place. Yes, smoking is bad because someone expel some toxic into the air and another innocent person who's not smoking must involuntarily absorb that toxic in. Then the innocent party becomes the second hand smoker that leads to complications such as lung cancer blabla. And by robbing away the right to smoke in clubs, hopefully it will reduce the number of smokers around.

But think of it this way!

You need to fart(An act of expelling toxic into the air) and then someone pass this law that one shall never fart in public because it pass this toxic into the air and cause another person to suffer as a result, otherwise it will be fine heavily.

Yes, farting in public is inconsiderate. But it's a need for some people! You ate something wrong. And before you can reach the toilet, your body system says it cant take it anymore. It needs to ffffaaaaarrrrrt! So there it goes, "Poooooooo....." and then you get a fine! It feels as if you're being stop for living this way! It's a lifestyle. It's a right to do something.

Everything has a cause and effect. Something that can be good for someone can be bad for another! Drinking in clubs makes people get into fights and beat each other to death. Just look at the rising number of people who died this year. Why dont you ban drinking in clubs? Loud music in clubs cause people to go deaf. We should protect the Djs, the servers and the mangers at the clubs! They're constantly there. We should ban loud music in clubs! Everything should be soft and mellow! Babies make alot of noise when they cry. It affects people in the surrounding. Shouldnt you try to ban babies from coming out of their houses or ask them to wear a mouth guard so they wont make irritating noises that affect people's mood and health(the ears)?

People in other countries are practicing that as well. Yes but different things work for people in different places. Citizens in some countries are receiving 100% free medical treatment. Why arent we getting it? Their people get paid even when they're not unemployed. Why not us?

Afterall, this smoking in the club thing has been going on for years. It has become a lifestyle. First, no smoking in air con places. Next, no smoking in food areas & public toilet. Then no smoking in cafes(even if its outdoor!) & pubs and now finally... smoke free clubs. It's banning a lifestyle! Everyone has a right to do things that they want(except if its illegal). Smoking a cigarette isnt illegal. Everyone has a right to choose to be a smoker or not. By being a smoker, it doesn't make you less complete a person. I think the best way to compromise. Segregate the smokers and non smokers at cafes, food centres, clubs! Make the smoking area as conducive as the non smoking area. Smokers & non smokers have the right to choose which place to stay in. I know its tough. But its really a pain to look for smoking tables at food joints, cafes and in clubs, we have to squeeze past everyone to get to the over crowded smoking area. =( There are restaurants in other countries with smoking and non smoking area all under one roof, but the air still smell as nice on both side. They have air filtering system and machine to effectively absorb the air. I feel that customers of both categories will feel good about having the same kind of right to be there.

I know this is not going to improve or change. Meantime, all i can do is to either stop going to places that ban smoking, stop smoking or feel rob everytime i am there and i need to smoke. I am just a tiny someone who's trying to live my life like everyone else.
You've got the poison, I've got the remedy.
