I think victims who smoke are victims of discrimination. Since they can no longer smoke in there own apartments or condos smokers are forced to have to smoke in there cars or outside. Know even in some bars, smokers are not allowed to smoke, or they have to be completely separated from the non-smokers. So smokers and non-smokers are actually then segregated from each other. Since they are segregated against, it is a act of discrimination.

Interesting form of reasoning!
i agree i feel its an act of discrimination because their separating people. but i think its good to separate them because theres allot of people who don't smoke and don't want to breath in smoke.
Though it may seem as an act of discrimination, i feel that its really not. Individuals are not being based on their race or religion or culture, it is based solely on the fact that it will put other people in harm. One cant change their upbringing for a couple of people who dont like it or dont appreciate it, but they can definately limit their habits that may put the lives of others at risk. Second hand smoke is just as dangerous as first hand smoke therefore, banning smoking in public areas is a necessity for the safety of the public. I feel that discrimination is not at all the world to describe such a situation.
