Government should expand antismoking policies. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
What is comes to the government policies on antismoking there are a lot of opinion and it can be differ person to person. However in my personal opinion, government can make and administer more limitation on smoking.
First of all, some people think that it is an invasion on personal freedom to limit the smoking because it is a kind of personal preference. Nevertheless in the aspect that smoking harms others, the government actions can be justified. In the past, many non-smoker had been indured affliction of involuntary secondhand smoking. As many people known, secondhand smoking can cause deadly desease and make people breeth more harder. In addition one study argues that second smoking can be more lethal than inhaling cigarette smoke directly. On top of that some research shown that secondhand smoke was found to be the onset of one third of lung cancer patients.
Secondly, the goverments policies to reduce smoking so far has worked effectively. In particular, the designation of non-smoking areas made smokers very uncomfortable, and most of them decided to quit smoking.
After that government help them to continue to stop smoking throuth supporting many tools to smoker such as electronic cigarette which eliminate the nicotine. Thanks to those policies, the nimber of smoke in korea have been decreased dramatically. According to an article 60% of men in twenties were smoker in1990 but now only 25% of young man enjoy smoke.
In conclusion, because smoke is bad for not only smoker but non-smoker and since now government policies in a good way to reduce smoking population. For these several reason I support that the expand of government antismoking policies.
