From the Paper:

"During the past few decades it has come to light that smoking kills. The federal government now mandates that every pack of cigarettes carry a warning on it that smoking can lead to health problems including death. In addition to smoking being a danger to one's health there is now evidence that being around other smokers is also dangerous. Second hand smoke has been shown to be the cancer causing agents being released into the air. Second hand smoke has been shown to produce the same negative health affects that smoking first hand does. With all of the current evidence about the dangers of smoking cities across the nation are taking it upon themselves to address the issue when it comes to public buildings. Bars and restaurants are often the target of smoking bans as they are typically gathering places for smokers."
