Smoking poses health risks to non-smokers in public places. Employees are exposed to secondhand smoke in offices and workplaces. It is difficult to find smoke-free restaurants and on public transportation like buses and trains, non-smokers may be exposed to smoke for extended periods. Stricter laws are needed to ban smoking in all public places to protect non-smokers.

1. A Letter to the Editor

7. Dear Editor: Smoking is one of the biggest threats to our health, but we aren’t doing enough to protect non-smokers. In offices and other workplaces, employees are forced to breathe pollution from colleagues who smoke. It’s difficult to find a restaurant where diners can escape from people’s cigarettes. On an inter-city bus or train, you might be forced to inhale dangerous smoke for up to tem hours. We need laws to make all our public places smoke-free. Sincerely, Adrian Smith
