The author of the article is a non-smoker who is concerned every time his wife, his four children and him pass by smokers along the passages and outside the entrances and exits of public buildings. He thinks authorities should consider increasing the prohibited zone to 20m from a building and locate designated smoking areas at the back of buildings instead of at the entrances, and step up surveillance and enforcement in public areas, as well as putting up more warning signs and conducting more promotional activities to spread the message.
I(We) agree with the author. It is unhealthy for non-smokers who pass by as they are forced to inhale the smoke. It is also a bad influence to youngsters, as they may learn how to smoke due to interaction with other smokers, which can ruin their health. We can create an area specially for smokers, so that they cannot smoke wherever they want to. That way, we can limit the contact between smokers and non-smokers, so that non-smokers are in no danger of taking in the smoke or becoming a smoker, and at the same time not risk the anger of smokers.
