How would you vote if you were Marcia?
If I was Marcia I would vote to keep the smokers designated to certain areas. Like her friend Cathy there are many people who are allergic to cigarette smoke and should not have to breathe it in because she sat at the wrong table at a restaurant. For example in many places breast feeding is designated to certain areas because it makes some people uncomfortable smoking should be treated the same way kind of.
Do you think a state should be able to regulate where a person smokes? Why or why not?

What would be some “reasonable steps”?
I would think reasonable steps would be to try and lower the times they do smoke. Or maybe go see their doctor paid by the employer of course to maybe get some kind of medical assistance like Chantix or nicotine patches. The employer cannot expect the smoker to quit smoking cold turkey or all at once it takes time.
Many opponents of the California law say that it "deprives people from using a legal product in a private establishment." Should the government of California or any state make cigarettes illegal? Why or why not?
No, they should not like I mentioned early smoking is a choice that is given to us. Many people use smoking as a way to cope with emotional hardships. If we make smoking illegal what’s to say that some people turn to “harsher,” drugs as a means of escaping for a bit. Smoking should not be made illegal I propose that it should just be allowed in certain areas and that is only because it could be harmful to the people around them. Nonsmokers should also have the choice whether they want to breathe it or not.
