Nowadays, many countries encourage smokers to quit smoking. And in some countries they prohibit lighting cigarettes even on the road. Although smokers say that it is invasion to individual's right, I strongly believe that ban of smoking where many people are together is good rule. The rationale behind this is that smoking causes damages to society in both people's health and properties.
First of all, smoking has no positive effects on human's body. It is well known that cigarette is the main fact that is responsible for cancer. There was an essay that I wrote when I studied the benefit of smoking in biology class. I conducted the research with books in school library, Internet, and help from my professor. What I discovered was that it's only useful to lessen the hazard of breast cancer to women. However, it brings about so many other diseases that can possibly harm human's life, such as lung cancer, heart attack, and even abortion. What is more, second hand smoking is much dangerous than direct smoking. Therefore, smoking should be forbidden for the health of all citizens in a nation.
Additionally, smoking can harm public properties. This is largely because of butts which can cause a conflagration. For example, a few years ago, there was a large mountain fire in winter, and the mountain was famous for its temple which had been built 1000 years ago. However, the flame lasted more than we expected, and it finally destroyed the whole temple. Besides, all the remnants inside there were also all burnt out. Surprisingly, the origin was the fire was not from a big spark. It was initiated by a cigarette butt from a climber. One man's irresponsible action ruined 1000 years old construction. This example proves that allowing smoking in public places is dangerous because there is potential peril of conflagration.
Although smoking could uplift someone's feeling, it has no positive respect for other people and society. This is because it's harmful to our health, and it poses potential of devastating everything. Therefore, the movement for preventing smokers from smoking in public spaces or building should be continued. |
