Assignment 4

Do you think that U.S. citizens who smoke are victims of discrimantion?
I believe in a way, they are being discriminated, but i also believe that they are also not getting discriminated. First of all, lets see why they are being discrimanted. Well, the U.S are making more non-smoking policies in many public places and apartments. But, i bleleve they have a good reason to make these polices, because these policies are helping those who are around the smoker. This is why i think it is not really discrimination. Smokers are taking some rights becuase it helps the other people around them. They do not want to having breathing problems because of second hand smoking. And eventually, these smoking policies will eventually help the smoker since there are less places to smoke and because there are more stict laws about smoking. I personally am not a smoker and i dont discriminate against smokers, i just dont like it when im near someone or pass someone when he/she is smoking. Smoking, i believe only causes negatives effects on people, that is why there are making such policies.
