公共场所禁烟的必要性

Is it necessary to ban smoking in

public?

From my point of view, it is necessary to ban smoking in public stations such as theaters, cinemas, waiting rooms at railways stations and electors. I believe this for several reasons as follows.

First, smoking is harmful to the health of people. It not only pollute air, brings about suffering of other people such as children and nonsmokers, but also causes diseases of bronchitis, lung cancer, chest cancer and throat cancer. Secondly, smokers have easily become addicted to cigarette; furthermore it is hard to give up. Therefore, banning smoking in public place will also improve the smokers’ health. They will have fewer opportunities to smoke, so they will smoke fewer cigarettes. Thirdly, teenagers are easily affected by the adults’ behavior as a mature or cool thing to do. Last but not least, smokers may work with people who are allergic to smoking, for example. In that case, the non-smokers have no choice unless they want to quit their jobs. They can only get sicker, which is unfair. As we have already seen, if smoking in public is allowed, non-smokers will be forced to breathe harmful air. This may violate their rights, and non-smokers are angry with smokers because of it.

It seems clear that banning smoking in public place is a good idea. Not only will also benefit health of smokers and non-smokers alike.
