      Soon...there will be a law stating that no dogs are allowed in your house compound unless it's 1000metres away from your neighbours.

      I am a non smoker but if the eatery has a designated smoking area, I do not see a problem with that.

      asmariah mustafa08:19 AM, 22 Feb 2019

      First and foremost eateries are for eating. If the primary functions of eateries were for smoking, it would hv been called smokeries. Go search the meaning of restaurant. Does it say a place to eat or smoke? Of course if what a person wants to do does not harm and irritate others, well what's wrong with allowing it. However, second hand smoke is well known to affect non smokers and can lead to all the serious problems like cancer etc. So b4 we talk about rights, we hv to find out whether our actions have serious ramifications for others. If a person's actions have bad effect on others, and he still insist on doing it, isn't that selfish and inconsiderate and if we still support it saying it is his rights, where would that lead us as a society.

      Really a potato. People will gather when they gather and that will not deter any smoker from the gathering. Business is half dead is because of economy with no thanks to Najis.
