4. "I think they should ban smoking altogether," said Greg Edwards, a 24-year-old single parent, of Parnell. "Smoking's bad for everything. Kids watch us smoking. Kids start at school [because they think] it's cool. If there's no smokes to be cool, it would be over. As simple as that." Sabrina Tupu, 18, of Onehunga, said of a street-smoking ban: "I think it's fair [but only] if there's designated spots for smokers to smoke because smokers do need a smoke. It is an addiction. If someone's on a lunch break and there's nowhere to smoke it would be hard for them; they don't want to go home for a smoke and come back to work."

13. There are few environmental issues, which every smoker should be aware of. Smoking affects your environment greatly. How Smoking Causes Air Pollution? It is quite evident that smoking causes air pollution and to some extent also pollutes the ground. Approximately 4000 chemicals are present in cigarettes, which are breathed out and released in the atmosphere. Out of the total North American population 30% of them are smokers and the percentage of the smoking population in developing countries is much higher. This indicates that an enormous quantity of pollution is being released in the atmosphere every day.

14. How Smoking Causes Land and Water Pollution? Pollution caused due to smoking is not confined only to the air or body but to some extent it is also responsible in polluting the land and the water. Every day millions of cigarette butts are left on the ground. Maximum of the cigarette butts finally end up in lakes and rivers. By mistake fishes and other water animals eat these butts resulting in death of these water bodies. The remaining butts left on the ground will approximately take 25-26 years to decompose. The various additives and chemicals are leached into the soil, polluting the soil as well as plants. During dry seasons cigarette butts can even cause major fire, which is even harmful for the environment.

15. How Cigarette Production Affects Environment? In an hour cigarette-manufacturing unit requires almost 4 miles of paper for rolling and packaging of the cigarettes. Just to produce 300 cigarettes one tree is being wasted. Energy and water is also being wasted for the production of the cigarettes as well as the chemical wastes from the manufacturing unit is also dumped into the soil. Hence it is clear the cigarettes are in total adding huge strain on the body and environment.

16. ECONOMIC IMPACT Businesses which consider adopting smoke-free policies, particularly hospitality industry businesses such as restaurants and bars, are concerned about the economic impact of such policies on their businesses. Likewise, when communities or states propose adopting smoke-free ordinances or regulations, business owners, policymakers and the public are concerned about the possible economic effects of such policies. While the tobacco industry has for years stated that smoke-free policies will reduce customer patronage of smoke-free businesses, there are no credible, scientific studies that support these claims.

17. COSTS TO EMPLOYERS Allowing smoking in the workplace has a number of hidden - and not so hidden - costs to the employer associated with it. Among these costs are: higher medical insurance premiums; more worker's compensation claims; lost worker time and productivity due to smoking breaks; absenteeism due to tobacco-related illnesses; smoking-related fires; etc. Further, there are many legal liability issues for employers which are directly related to smoking in the workplace. Many of these costs - and liability issues - can be avoided or mitigated by the adoption of smoke-free policies.
