Smoking issue is not complicated

This is such an outdated argument regarding legislation that restricts smoking in public areas ("Passing laws, blowing smoke," Feb. 23), I am surprised you printed this editorial.
Smoking restrictions are about moving the smoke so that people in a public park do not have to breathe it. There are no safe levels of secondhand smoke.
This is not about fining people; it is not about big brother overstepping; it is not about unhealthy behavior; it's not about getting smokers to quit; it is not about ostracizing smokers; it's not about cars and buses.
It is solely about telling smokers to emit their smoke where others do not have to breathe it.
