I have only smoked during a week,in my finalist trip (i think this is the correct way of saying correct me if im wrong).
But after that i said "i will only smoke on special ocasions" but i have to admit it is highly addicting and it should be banned from this world all together...I

Why can't you just take responsibility and stop smoking youself?

I don't see how using the government monopoly on force to charge, arrest, fine and harm the reputations of all people who made the choice to smoke cigarettes. 

Like i stated i dont smoke,but am i harmed by other people that smoke ...yes i am. The world would be healthier without cigarettes there is no good coming from them just an illusion of a probable escapism or temporary relaxation,i dont want cigarettes and neither should anyone on this planet therefore ban the damn thing.

How we ban them that is debatable but as long as there is no violence its ok for me .

No good will come from banning it either. Same goes for alcohol. I don't choose to smoke or drink even though I could buy it if I chose to, but banning it will solve nothing.
