Smoking in public

I think this topic is one of the worlds great debates at the moment. Smoking puts the health of all people within proximity at risk while also contributing to property damage and unpleasant scents. Smoking is also a very social habit that allows participants to meet other people in a relaxed enviroment without the akwardness. Should smoking be banned from all public places or should non smokers just learn to deal with the consequences of the habitual habits of others? Is smoking cool?

The Power Life is full of challenges and difficult times. In 2010, I was diagnosed with cancer. Friends and family back in Dallas Texas would ask me why I never cried when I was facing a possible death. I did not cry because I knew where my power in the situation was. my power was in my response. No one can control what happens in life but we can control the way we respond. My cancer fight lasted eight months and it was the most difficult problem I had ever encountered. I survived and I am proud of the happiness I maintained while I had cancer. Life is not about the things that happen to you. Life is how you choose to respond. This is your power. Thank you.

Its snowing today! I am in Luoyang China right now and the snow is falling! Its beautiful. The streets look as if they are covered in Cotton! Usually the smog of pollution makes any good view not so valuable. Today is a different day as sheets of fluffy snow fall from the sky. Students are outside playing in the snow right now and I would join them if it wasn't so cold.
