Repace, James. "Tob Control 2000;9:98 doi:10.1136/tc.9.1.98 Debate Banning outdoor smoking is scientifically justifiable." Tobacco Control. 9.1 (2000): n. page. Web. 29 Feb. 2012.


- This source explains the scientific side of cigarette smoking. It explains that the cigarettes are point sources of air pollution, and by smoking outside, the hot smoke cools fast. It then descends back down onto people in that area. This causes that local amount of air to be polluted and to be harmful for those in that air. "ETS" or environmental smoke can cause many health risks and if smokers were to be allowed to smoke outside in all public places if would irritate and hurt many people.
