smoking

I was surfing during the news last night and saw on the Boise News  that the city is considering an ordinance that will ban smoking in just about all public places, including parks and bars. I've always had mixed feelings about this.  While I think its rude to puff away at a park while sitting three feet away from kids on playground equipment, I'm not sure it warrants an ordinance.

If you're going to light up, at least make sure to stand up. New research has found that sitting for long periods of time can be just as dangerous as smoking.
