            Nowadays, smoking is believed as one of the dangerous phenomenon in the world. Even though, smokers have been provided with the knowledge of how unhealthy smoking can be, they still choose to smoke.

A second-hand smoke is defined as smoke inhaled involuntarily from tobacco being smoked by others.

(National Cancer Institute, 2011). Based on Surgeon General Report second-hand smokes are also the causes of morbidity and premature mortality in children. By banning smoking at open premises, government can provide strong scientific foundation policies to protect non-smokers from inhaling second-hand smokes. As non-smoker have their right to inhale a fresh and clean air also to live without any disease risk. (Jonathan, 2006 in Circulation Journal).
