Stand on Smoking: I'm on an everlasting quest to make my boyfriend quit smoking. I am supportive of any legislation promising my clothes won't smell like smoke after a night out at the bar.

Stand on Smoking: I am trying to quit. I cheated and had one at the end of the first week. I think the ban is going to cause problems-I foresee looting of delis and newspaper stands. Not everyone is masochistic enough in the city to try and quit like me and still go out to bars and have a drink without a cigarette.

Stand on Smoking: Freshman year I was having a terrible time with school and I had a lot of stuff going on personally. One particularly bad day, I skipped all my classes, wrapped myself in my purple comforter, sat on the balcony and chain-smoked. I don't know why, and it really didn't do anything for me, but that has been my only real (and gross) experience with smoking.

Stand on Smoking: New Yorkers should have the right to smoke. Just round all of the smokers up, and put them in some kind of huge, unventilated glass dome right off Manhattan Harbor. Leave the rest of us to enjoy our respective vices in smoke-free peace.

Stand on Smoking: Bloomberg is taking it too far by trying to ban smoking in all restaurants and bars. It's an issue that should be decided by the owners of such establishments. I've never been a smoker. I don't mind smoke as long as it's not being blown in my face.

Stand on Smoking: I smoke now. Intend to quit real soon, have quit twice, obviously unsuccessfully. I love smoking, and in college it's silly not to smoke if you like it. Too tempting. I'm honestly shocked and disappointed that this ban is even being seriously considered-on principal, not because I'm a smoker.

Stand on Smoking: The smoking ban just won't work in New York. Besides any philosophical arguments, a smoking ban would be a logistical nightmare in Manhattan. People have the right to do what they please with their bodies. Yes, smoking can kill you, but so can too many Big Macs.

Stand on Smoking: I'm not a smoker, I never was, and I probably never will be. I do think Bloomberg's proposal violates our first amendment rights. If he wants to ban cigarettes in public, why not alcohol, gambling and pornography?

Stand on Smoking: It ought to be left up to individuals to make the decision for themselves. It is none of your business what I do with my body. I have as much right as anyone else to enjoy myself anywhere I want.

Stand on Smoking: I associate my short time as a smoker with New York City. I learned how to smoke, what to smoke, and when to smoke in this concrete jungle. Thank God it never truly become a habit, only a rebellious stunt.

Stand on Smoking: I have never been intrigued by the idea of smoking because I am into health and fitness. I don't think it is right of Mayor Bloomberg to increase the tax on cigarettes because it is causing a lot of anguish and anger to New York smokers.

Stand on Smoking: My doctor once told me that nine times out of ten, monkeys choose addictive nicotine over marijuana. He proceeded to tell me to smoke grass and not to be a monkey. He meant to convey the dangers of the chemical content in cigarettes…I think. A tax raise on cigarettes and a non-addictive personality got me to my current state of very limited smoking. I currently live in an apartment where I do not want ashtrays laying around like landmines. If the smoking ban passes, I know that my apartment will turn into another ashtray. Not because I am smoking, but because everyone will want an inside environment in which to smoke.
