I live in an environment where people perceive smokers as bad people. They see a smoker as someone who is bad, Someone who is not loyal, someone who is stubborn and have no love in him, someone who can easily hurt others, someone who is capable of committing crime in the society. And many more I can't remember. Maybe when you read this you can add more to the list. The question is why are Smokers viewed this way in the society?
Being in a smoking environment can cause several other problems in addition to environmental pollution. A non-smoker can slowly become addicted to smoking when he sees a smoker. Seeing him, young children may become curious and attracted to smoking. Generally, if bad habits are spread among young children, it is not possible to give up that habit easily.
Stop exaggerating, no non-smoker can never get addicted by inhaling smoke for a period of time. I dont know where you get that information from but it is wrong. Perhaps you should check the definition of addiction first. Non-smokers can only get a little high when they are in a smoking environment, once they leave there they will surely get cautiousness. You know addiction in smoking is different from those who smoker it occasionally.
