Smoke In Your Own Space

I am starting this petition because secondhand smoke is making life harder for asthmatics such as myself that have cigarette smoke as an irritant. Have you ever stayed under water too long and then at the last second you come up from the water and your trying to catch your breath? When I have an asthma attack and that happens every time people smoke near people with asthma. It is an irritant not an allergy thus no medicine to protect against it. Smoking should be banned in any common area that people travel. Designated smoking areas are not enough. I have had to go through cigarette smoke to enter the Sinai Emergency room for treatment. I am doing a presentation on May 8th at Mount ST. Joseph High School and will be including a signed petition in my presentation. Please respond.
