Smoking Should be Banned in All Public Places

Every year thousands of people die because of having cancer or other

tobacco related illnesses due to smoking. Smoking is seen everywhere

from our own television screens to even the world wide web; the

internet. Tobacco is the substance that is in these cigarettes. These

tobacco products are promoted through tobacco ads that are found

almost everywhere you turn. They are in magazines, television screens,

on the internet and even on cigarette boxes themselves. Alas, their

tobacco ads do not tell the whole truth. Thus, many people fall prey

to these tobacco cigarettes and once they try one cigarette, they are

hooked on it. The reason this is so is the nicotine present in it,

which is a kind of drug. So now, as you can see many have been

addicted to the habit of smoking. Nowadays in almost all parts of the

world has much controversy because people some people agree about

smoke in public areas, but others who do not smoke complain about

that; so much so that it has now become an issue. So, should smoking

be banned in all public places? I would say yes, they should.

Firstly, when many smokers smoke in public places, the people around

them who do not smoke breathe in the smoke and they become passive

smokers. These smokers can even get very ill due to the consequences

of passive smoking. Researchers have even discovered that the

onslaught of that kind of cigar smoke causes ninety-seven gases to

malfunction. The Environment Protection Agency also reported that

passive smoking causes 2500 to 3500 lung cancer deaths a year among

non-smokers in just the U.S. alone. We may not know this but we...

...something that should be put into

action. It is the only way smokers may reform their ways and start

afresh. Although many others may also argue that air pollution does

occur due to other factors, smoking is also a factor encouraging air

pollution. So why not try stopping it while we can right now by taking

a stand that smoking should be banned in all public places and turn it

into a action that would prove the best all round? Smoke is very bad

and the government should not authorize smoking in public places at

all. It not only affects the people who smoke but also other innocent

people. Moreover, if you smoke, you would have to think more about not

only your own health but also for the other people whom you live with

and who are around you. So, all in all, I conclude that smoking should

be banned in all public places.
