Yes, nonsmokers have a choice to sit in a nonsmoking section. But, it is right next to the smoking section. I for one don't agree with having to take in secondhand smoke while I am eating or just hanging out. And I really don't like the fact that my teenage nieces have to be exposed to it either.

I work in an oncology practice and see what smoking and the effects of smoking can do to a body. So, I think that smoking in public places should be banned. The smokers can then just expose themselves to the effects of nicotine and let us keep our healthy lungs.
