Constitutional Amendments

If I got to add a constitutional amendment there would be a lot of ideas that I would have. The amendment that I would have to make is to outlaw smoking all together. Smoking is so bad for your body. When you smoke, you do not live as long. When someone smokes their lungs turn black and it is hard for them to breath and work. I am not as concerned for those people because it is their choice whether they smoke or not. I am more concerned about the people that live with the smokers or the people that have to be around them. Second- hand smoke is the worst for people because that smoke is unfiltered. It still has all of the yucky stuff that is in cigarettes. Recently, smoking has been banned from public places. I don't think that is good enough. It doesn't matter where you are, there are cigarettes littering the streets. In public when I walk past a person smoking it is one of the worst feelings in my life because of the smell and how it makes me feel like my throat is closing. When my sister walks by someone smoking she coughs as loud as she can. She thinks if she does this than maybe they will get the point that it is bad for other people. I feel as though if I outlaw smoking, people will still buy it, just illegally. I think it would be best for everyone is smoking was against the law.
