I am a sophomore at Draughn High School and a member of the TRU (Tobacco Reality Unfiltered) Club. I would like to remind people that starting Jan. 2, 2010, smoking will not be allowed inside bars, restaurants or any business that serves food or drinks in North Carolina.
This law is important for a number of reasons. One key reason is that smoke, and its 60 known carcinogens, doesn't stay contained and lingers long after the smoker has left.
Not only will this law prevent people from smoking in restaurants, but it will save many lives. People who don't smoke will not have to breath smoke-infested air and people who smoke won't cause someone else to develop heart disease, lung cancer and other diseases.
I also want to thank all the Burke County restaurants that are already smoke-free.
