" Do you think u.s citizens who smoke are victims of discrimination?"
I feel that, U.S citizens who smoke are not victims of discrimination, because it’s a health issue. Especially in public restaurants, hospitals and schools. There not discriminating them because they hate people who smoke, there trying to protect people from second hand smoking. Second hand smoking over time can be just as bad as smoking in the first place. And who wants to be enclosed in a room with 500 smokers trying to eat your dinner? Especially if your not a smoker, and today they have separate locations for smokers, even though that may sound like discrimination its not because you chose to smoke. Its a personal choice, you want to be identified as a smoker, you smoke. The thing is you can change being discriminated on by what you do because you can change habits, but some people don’t have it as easy, some people are Unreasonable discriminated by because of there differences in race, religion, sex, age and nationality.

I understand your point about smoking in public places, but the article dealt with restricting people in their homes. Do you think that is crossing the line with people's rights??
Thanks for being the first to answer this week's assignment. Now I know it is working.
