Smoking In Public Places

Recently, smoking in public places should be banned or not has became a debatable topic in many countries as well as Turkey. although there have been some regulations before, the new government has passed many other laws from the court. These laws do not include only public places but also private ones such as home. As a smoker, I totally disagree with the situation although they are right to some extent.
Everybody knows exactly that smoking kills. But, personally, as a smoker, I do not think that it is so harmful. Of course, it includes lots of harmful chemicals and they may be deathful. But, we absorb a lot of harmful chemicals other than smoking in our daily lives. So, banning smoking in public places is vain.
Also, there are a lot of ridiculous things that people respect and protect them. Smokers prefer smoking willingly, so everybody should respect them.
In conclusion, I'm in the opinion that smoking shouldn't be banned in public places.
