Best Answer

Public places are required to be smoke free by law in many states because of the newly discovered effects of second hand smoke on health. Whenever you smoke around others, the second hand smoke (smoke that you do not inhale or smoke that you exhale) can be inhaled by others. This smoke is actually more dangerous to the lungs. Therefore, when you smoke around others, you are not only endangering your own health, but theirs as well. Many states have decided that in public places, every person has the right to their health, and so smoking has been outlawed in these areas.

Why some countries banned indoor smoking?

Secondhand smoke is smoke that has been exhaled, or breathed out, by the person smoking.

There is no risk-free level of secondhand smoke exposure; even brief exposure can be harmful to health.
