Smoker's Rights

The authors main purpose in writing this article is to describe the importance of living in a smoke-free environment mostly in apartment complexes.In addition to residing in a non-smoking environment the author explains the effects of second hand smoke towards others around the area.Effects such as breathing problems and eye irritations as mention in the text. I believe the author is trying to encourage others to move in areas where non-smoking apartments are part of the complex.I personally believe that smoking in apartments or public areas should be banned because of the health concerns towards other people, however separate facilities should be built in case smokers want to smoke in convenience at their apartment.I do believe smokers are victims of discrimination and are looked upon differently but then again smokers should think carefully where they smoke and who they smoke by.
