It therefore would be in line with the establishments missions and objectives but simply allows freedom of choice Peace Crowley I see your point however it would would not be encouraging smoking by not having the murial.

The problem I have with this mural though is that all smokers are quite aware that is seriously damaging their health to the point where they can die from it. However i do not see the point of having a mural like this to laugh in the face of people who already know the mistake they made. I'm aware that this is supposed to make smokers think a little more about what they are doing but I don't beleive that it will actual help anyone to actually QUIT smoking only make them feel bad. It seems to me that the only thing this murial does is give power to the painter of this murial over the smokers that view it, as I can make an educated guess that the painter was a non smoker. I am open however to different viewpoints on this, it just seems that way to me. Peace Crowley For a start before you state my bias for me I am a smoker and have smoked for around 4/5 years.
