Abstract
This paper discusses the claim that smoking should not be allowed in public places. The problem of second-hand smoking as a result of smoking in public, is raised. The hazards of second-hand smoke are presented in the paper. The issue is addressed from a legislative point of view as well as from the business/company perspective. The paper provides a number of reasons why a company should endeavor to prevent smoking within its boundaries. The media's influence on public awareness of smoking and passive smoking hazards is examined.
From the Paper
"Smoking should not be allowed in public places. This is based primarily on the fact that second-hand smoke is a health hazard, but it can also be argued that allowing people to smoke in public only perpetuates the habit and encourages others to take it up, thus adding to the health hazard in the long run. The private sector is already addressing the issue on a case-by-case basis, banning smoking in the workplace in many companies. Those who believe there is a problem may create a smoke-free area for customers or workers, or workers can demand that their place of business be entirely smoke free. Still, the government should take further action to protect the public where companies do not, including in shopping areas, workplaces, theaters, restaurants, and anywhere the public gathers. Allowing smoking on the street in fact encourages smoking, and discouraging smoking should be a primary effort for the public and private sectors to reduce the health costs paid by both."

Abstract
Anti-smoking campaigns have led to a wave of smoking bans across the country during recent years. Whether one is for or against them, smoking bans are apparently here to stay, at least for a while. The paper shows that one of the national health objectives for the year 2010 is to establish laws, in all 50 states, that prohibit or restrict smoking in public places and work sites.
From the Paper
"The United States Constitution contains a Bill of Rights, which protects individuals from the power of government, and the Fourteenth Amendment, which was ratified in 1868, guarantees all citizens of the United Sates equal protection, and due process, under the law (Levin pp). With this dedication to freedom, one would assume that Americans would have the ability, the right, to perform a perfectly legal act in a private establishment, however one would be mistaken (Levin pp)."

Abstract
This paper notifies all employees of the company that, beginning one month from today, the company will follow the guide-lines of federal and state requirements and institute a ban on smoking in the company buildings. The author stresses that the idea of a smoke-free environment is not only to encourage those employees who smoke to quit but also to protect the non-smokers from being affected by second-hand smoke, scientifically called Environmental Tobacco Smoke- ETS, which can do as much damage to persons nearby a smoker as if they themselves were smoking. The paper includes discussion points for each department about this No-Smoking rule including, although the company is offering financial assistance for a "Stop Smoking" course to encouraged stop smoking anywhere, designating a "Smoking Area" outside the building .
From the Paper
"It is important for all of you to realize that this was not a sudden, hap-hazard decision, but the statistics were so overwhelmingly negative that we felt we had to do something to protect all our employees and to guarantee them, at least while on the job, a smoke-free environment. Later in this memo, we will explain some of the potential "solutions" to the smoking problem, but, as you will see, they simply did not solve that second-hand smoke situation. But, let me begin by a little background that alerted us to the dangers of second hand smoke."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed argument stating that smoking should be banned from all bars and restaurants in the United States. The writer presents the opposition and provides evidence to the contrary. The writer explores the reasons smoking should be banned in those establishments nationwide.
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."

Abstract
This paper studies the issues related to smoking in public places. The paper argues that smoking should be restricted in public places for three main reasons. First, secondhand smoke is a known danger to health. Second, smoking impedes many social activities. Finally, it looks at the economic effects of smoking, from the economic costs of lost working hours to taxpayer dollars in Medicare.
From the Paper
"The health dangers are even more pronounced for children. Health experts have attributed the rising rates of lower respiratory tract infection among babies and infants to secondhand smoke exposure. Every year, the EPA estimates that between 150,000 to 300,000 respiratory infections among infants below 18 months are directly attributable to secondhand smoke. In addition, at least one million children with asthma stand to be adversely affected by any exposure to cigarette smoke."

Secondhand Smoke Overview
Positive Effects of the New York State Smoking Ban
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Secondhand smoke is a known health danger. 53,800 people die each year from secondhand smoke, including death from heart disease, lung cancer, and other diseases. Scientific research has become so comprehensive that not only has scientists been able to pinpoint the effects of secondhand smoke on specific organs, but also on specific types of workers. In general, restaurants and bars that are located in cities that have smoking bans, in place, have 82 percent less indoor air pollution than those without smoking bans ("Secondhand smoke", 2006), equating to healthier workers.

Abstract
This paper examines how second-hand smoke affects the health of other people and then discusses a new law in Germany that bans smoking in restaurants, schools, and other public buildings. The writer explains that these bans are based on the evidence showing that second-hand smoke can cause cancer and other health problems just as direct smoking can. The writer further discusses the long-term health risks for children exposed to second-hand smoke, leading to serious health consequences later in life. The writer concludes that we need to make smokers more aware of the dangers of second-hand smoke.
From the Paper
"A recent article in the New York Times addresses a new law in Germany that mirrors law being passed across the United States. Probably the most widely argued community health issue of the last three decades or so has been smoking, extending beyond the question of what happens to the body when someone smokes or how much smoking damages the health of the smoker and instead showing how the whole community may suffer for what a smoker does. Landler (2006) refers to an ongoing campaign in Europe against smoking in public places, a campaign mirrored in several American cities."

Abstract
The following paper discusses the abundance of medical and scientific evidence in support of the damage caused by Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS), or second-hand smoke. This paper proposes that, there is now sufficient medical evidence to support a legal ban of smoking in public places.
From the Paper
"One of the major functions of our country's legislation is to protect all Americans from being injured or killed as a result of the irresponsible and illegal behavior of others. There are specific laws in place to protect us from someone who drives recklessly or under the influence of alcohol and there are laws designed to shield us from those who may wish to harm us with violence."

Secondhand Smoke Exposure, 2007.
This paper passionately argues for a ban on smoking in public places.

Abstract
The paper discusses how despite the strong evidence that second-hand smoke is linked to serious illnesses and deaths in non-smokers, there continues to be tremendous controversy surrounding smoking bans in public places. The paper explains that some believe such a ban violates the rights of business owners to establish the rules for their businesses and it infringes upon the rights of smokers. However, others believe that the health effects of second-hand smoke are sufficiently negative to support banning smoking in public places. The paper looks at the two groups that are the most vulnerable to the effects of secondhand smoke exposure; employees and children. The paper concludes that the reasons are compelling for a ban on smoking in public.
From the Paper
"Everyone is aware of the negative effects of cigarette smoking. That smoking cigarettes causes heart disease, lung disease, and several types of cancer is well-documented. Less well known is the fact that secondhand smoke is very dangerous as well. Secondhand smoke includes two types of smoke; that "given off by the burning end of a cigarette, pipe, or cigar and the smoke exhaled from the lungs of smokers." (American Lung Association). Secondhand smoke is a known carcinogen and is linked to about 3,000 lung cancer deaths in nonsmokers each year. (American Lung Association). In addition, secondhand smoke is known to cause heart disease in nonsmokers; about 35,000 nonsmokers die of secondhand smoke-caused heart disease each year and nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke are 25 percent more likely to have coronary heart disease than other nonsmokers."

Abstract
This paper focuses on discussing the reasons why Canadians smoke. It examines why individuals begin smoking, continue their smoking trends and finally what motivates them to quit smoking. The paper discusses the sociological understanding of human motivation in an attempt to understand the above three factors with regard to cigarette smokers.
From the Paper
"Overall however, the outlook is bright for Canadian non-smoking campaigns. For the first time this last year, there are more ex-smokers than current smokers in Canadian society. Those who use to smoke have made the conscious decision to stop the cycle for their loved ones and children. Smoking begins with Canadian youth who are influenced by social media as well as adults and society to begin smoking and it perpetuates because of the social typecasting and overall clique nature of smokers. The herd mentality is the strongest impetus for all three stages of a smoker's cycle, because individuals associated smoking as a strongly social activity. However, as society moves away from smoking as a socially accepted medium, more and more youth will look to smoking less as anti-culture and more as irrelevant. As this process continues the next decade will see less and less smokers both take up and perpetuate this disgusting habit."

" Smoking and Politics in California
This paper will examine the struggle over smoking in California as it has been fought by the antismoking groups, or non-smokers' rights groups, and the smokers rights groups, particularly the tobacco industry. California currently has laws requiring the setting aside of smoking areas in public buildings and food establishments ("California Health and Saf." 25940-25947) and prohibits smoking in the passenger areas of trains, buses, streetcars, and airplanes ("Califor. Publ. Utils. Code"). During the past few years, however, antismoking groups have been waging a battle to enact more stringent smoking bans in public places and to restrict the availability of tobacco products.
The antismoking groups have been comprised mainly of health organizations, educational interests, and environmental groups.."

From the Paper
"Statement of the Problem
The proposed research will consist of a descriptive study of the perceptions of public administrators regarding the regulation of cigarette smoking. Not only will public administrators' perceptions be collected, discussed, and interpreted, they will also be examined to determine whether they significantly differ as a function of differences in administrators ages, gender, yearly income, marital status and religion. Further, perceptions will be examined for differences depending upon whether or not the administrator is a smoker.
Problem Background
As noted by Mathre (1994), nicotine (the active ingredient in the tobacco plant) is one of the most toxic and most addictive drugs known to man. Regarding its toxicity, Mathre states that ..."
