Do you support moves in the Kansas Legislature to ban smoking in public places?

Duke Neeland ( in De Soto) says...
I used to be a smoker. Now I’m a non-smoker. I would whole-heartedly support it. I don’t think it’s right the rest of us have to breathe second-hand smoke.
Kay Speed ( in De Soto) says...
I’m sorry it inconveniences smokers, but I do believe we should have a no-smoking policy in the state. I don’t like to subject my children to second-hand smoke.
Linda Zindler ( in De Soto) says...
For health reasons, I would agree with it because it’s been proven there is a direct correlation between second-hand smoking and health. As far as the government mandating it, that’s where it gets tricky. But it is the future.

When I was born, both of my parents smoked. I lived in a very small house with 4 sibling, and all four of us were “addicted” to tobacco by the time we reached our teen years…. I was smoking by the eleventh year! Yes I was 11 years old with a lust for Camel, and Lucky Strike cigarettes.
I loved my cigarettes, and I did evolve too a three packs a day habit! When I quit smoking my "brand" was Winston 100s.
I NEVER smoked in the presence of my daughter!!!! That because unlike the executives of the tobacco industry, and those who "govern" us, I knew that smoking is “hazardous” to one's health…. AND smoking is addictive…. AND “parents” are “role models….”
If nothing else the government “of the people, by the people, for the people” owes the “people” protection from irresponsible public conduct by ignorant, ill informed “citizens.” who lack the wisdom, understanding, will power, and self discipline to respect the lives, health, and well being of others who are NOT smoking…. Especially our children!
WHAT has taken the government so long to act? The Taxes on tobacco products are BILLIONS of state, and federal tax dollars.... Without the tobacco taxes paid to the government, there would be less government!
