Yes, smoking should be banned in all public places (which it is in the UK), people who smoke are stupid considering it truly fucks up every part of your body. I'm not sure about being banned completely, people have a right to do what they want to themselves, but it should be done in private.

I think it should be banned or at least restricted in most public places, but definitely not outright banned altogether, because people would have the right to fuck up their own bodies if they really want to and if it makes them feel better.

Smoking near non-smokers that don't want the smoke should be a crime.

Same here. Smokers are absolutely careless concerning other's health. At least most of the time.

Yes, should be banned. If smokers want to smoke, then do so, but don't make me, my family or my friends have to breath in any of their air.
