SMOKERS HAVE RIGHTS TOO!


SMOKERS HAVE RIGHTS TOO! Posted by Hello

While the World Health Organization (WHO) and governments are initiating greater awareness of health problem from smoking, and efforts are made to curb smoking by restricting public places as NO-SMOKING zone, this invariably would deprive many others who are loyal to cigarette companies, from having their usual pleasures.

The poser is: while every non-smokers have their rights, smokers too, have their human rights and freedom within their containment. Members of the Entertainment Business Rights Concern Group in Hong Kong staged a protest against a smoking ban in Hong Kong on June 7, 2005. The concern group was asking for exemptions to be made in the entertainment trade such as sauna, discos, and massage establishments.

Could smokers retain some of the rights in certain specific places???
