Medical scientists have expressed their concern about the effect of smoking on the health not only of those who smoke but also of those who don't. In fact non-smokers who take in the air polluted by tobacco smoke suffer more than the smokers themselves. A great number of students have joined in an effort to persuade the university to forbid smoking in classrooms. I believe they are entirely right in their air. However, I think it more important to achieve this by calling on the smokers to use good judgment and to show concern for others.
