Would You Please Smoke Outside

Jonathan Denney T. Huddleston English Comp. II 10-04-99 Would You Please Smoke Outside! While eating dinner at El Ranchito an acrid plume of smoke wafts over my table causing my eyes to water and my nose to become congested. Once again another inconsiderate smoker has ruined a nice meal. Second-hand smoke is both a danger and a discomfort to non-smokers, and should be banned in public facilities.

In conclusion, I respect our freedoms, but smoking should not be allowed in public buildings. Protecting our health and the health of our children is important, that is why I am in favor of a nation wide ban on smoking in public facilities.
