However, what about the people beside those smokers? Many people may agree that those who don't smoke do not have the obligation to receive secondhand smoke. Though some related laws already restrict the places for smokers, for futher decreasing the influence of secondhand smoke and public health governement should raise more taxes on the cigarette. The price of cigarette may hence rise, also it can reduce the customers' desire for purchasig cigatte as well as the produce of secondhand smoke directly or indirectly.
