▶ Your Answer : The given topic of whether people are no longer allowed to smoke in many public places and office buildings is thought-provoking. Although some people think that it is a bad rule to prohibit smoking in public areas and office building, I believe that banning smoking in public places and office buildings is a good rule for the following reasons. First of all, people who smoke in public places and office buildings affect negative impacts on non-smokers. Admittedly, there are many negative repercussions on second-hand smoking, such as increasing the rate of getting cancer. In this respect, it is better to ban smoking in public areas and office buildings for non-smokers’ health. According to a renowned professor, it is evident that second-hand smoking is harmful on people’s health. Regarding his research, many people suffer from second-hand smoking and die from it every year. He also goes on to say that it becomes serious problems in the world, and it is necessary to prohibit smoking in public places and office buildings for non-smokers. Second, it is a good rule not to allow people to smoke in public places because students easily mimic the behavior of adults. To be specific, young students are very curious and they like to follow the harmful habits of adults without any judgement. For example, one of my friends started smoking after she watched a smoker in a park. She told me that the smoker looked cool, and she also wanted to be cool by smoking. She did not have a good judgement whether her behavior is good. These days, however, she regrets mimicking the smoker and starting to smoke. To sum up, smoking in public areas and office buildings causes harmful consequences on non-smokers and young students. Considering all of these reasons, it is a good rule not to allow people to smoke in public places and office buildings. |
