Reston — As a teenager, I really dislike smelling smoke from cigarettes, cigars, etc. I highly agree with Starbucks’ ban of smoking on their outdoor patios. The rest of the community should consider banning outdoor smoking also. My family and I want to eat outside, but most times people are smoking. Sometimes, we go outside and nobody is smoking, but after a few minutes, someone lights up. Breathing second-hand smoke is not healthy for anyone, and dining outside is more enjoyable without smoke.
