·        My Opinion :

I strongly support the regulation of smoking to be made by local authorities. This will be helpful for passive smokers may be more comfortable for longer when in a public place. Besides, it also needs to continue its active pekok given an understanding of the dangers of cigarette smoke on inhaled by passive smokers that exist around them. Given this understanding in the hope that active smokers would also pay attention to the adverse health effects that may befall the pekok passive inhalation of cigarette smoke if they cause. It was very concerned when the regulations will be made ​​is not socialized much less smpai not applied. I hope the rules will be created will not only be an appeal that goes by it, but really applies to passive smokers get health insurance for themselves while in public places.
