Link Me to Smoking Please...

This post is dedicated to a more insightful list of links for learning more about smoking in public and the effects of it. These links are from our library on campus and are reliable sources.

Pro-Smoking in Public Places: These links are to show why smoking should not be banned in public places. They state an issue and try to support why they think the way they do. Smoking is considered dangerous on both of these sites, but they believe there is something else besides a ban that can be done to fix this controversy.

United Kingdon Input
Student's Point-of-View about Bars

Covers Both Issues: These sites are very lengthy, but they do provide a lot of information and common knowledge about both sides of the issue at hand. They are reliable sources to read if you just want to learn a little bit of what is going on with the issue and why it is still unresolved.

Anti-Smoking in Public Places: These sites are for the ban on smoking in public places because of the health risks. They support the ban because as of right now, there is not enough technology to remove the smoke efficiently from the air in public places such as restaurants. These are reliable because they show that there is support, a majority of support that is, for the complete ban on smoking in all public places.
