Smoking is a big issue in the world to day. When and where it is allowed, if its safe, and if kids should be allowed to do it. These are all things that are decided by the u.s. government as well as the F.D.A.That stands for Food and Drug Administration.This is a group people of that set the standard that business, and manufaturers have to follow.Go back 30 years ago people smoked in resturants, at baseball games, and in bars.They could do it when ever they wanted to. Now 1999 smoking is illegal in bars ,and in resturants .

There designated areas at baseball games where people can smoke but not in there seat and no smoking at any hockey games. There also rules for kids , no liquor store can have a cigarette below six feet in there window ,and no smoking billboard is allowed in sight of a school, its illegal. There have been some drastic changes in the way things are in the u.s.as opposed to the way they were.Thanks in part to the F.D.A.
