-I believe the author's main purpose of this article was to show the readers that smoking in the apartments is unfair to both smoking and non smoking tenants. The article shows how non smoking tenants feel about smoking around them and how it wouldn't be fair for smokers to not be allowed to smoke in their ''home''.
2.) DO YOU THINK THE U.S. CITIZENS WHO SMOKE ARE VICTIMS OF DISCRIMINATION?
-Yes I do believe that the U.S. citizens who smoke are victims of discrimination when they are forced to be segregated from others. BUT I feel its only right that they are separated because of the danger they put others in when they smoke around them. For example second hand smoke. If a person smokes around a child, they are putting that child in great harm. Another reason is smoking around elderly people who are using oxygen tanks. This is great danger for the elderly people. It would be common sense not to smoke around these people, but not all the time will a smoker know how smoking effects the person around them.
Glad to see that you made it to the blog. The author's purpose was to present two sides of an issue. I agree with you on all points. They are discriminated against, but it should still be their choice to make in their own homes.
