In my opinion, smoking should be prohibited in public places. There are manyreasons but I concentrate on two of them.
First: smoking is harmful for non smokers.
Second: smoking has pollution effects.Smoking is harmful for non smokers: it's not rational if someone else’s habitharms the others. Obviously, if people smoke in public places, non-smokershave no choice but to become secondhand smokers. Of course non smokershave the right to choose not to be secondhand smokers!
Smoking has pollution effects: many types of gases are released by smokers andare harmful for the environment, such as carbon dioxide. Everyone knows thatnow the environment is getting worse and worse. We don’t want smoking to beanother source of the problem!
In conclusion, I want to say that there are no reasons left to permit smoking inpublic places, and I also think that maybe this is the time for people to quit smoking. Banning smoking is not just for us, but for this world and for everyone who has to live in this world after us.
