It is a ongoing debate over whether smoking should be restricted in buildings or not. Some say that smoking is a people's fancy and people should respect it. Others say that if it disturbs others, it will be out of the right to keep one's freedom. In this regard, I strongly support the idea that somking should be banned in some areas for the following reasons.
To begin with, limited smoking areas allows people warn that smoking is bad for health. In other words, as decreasing the places able to smoke, people are likely to be alarmed with the reasons why this place became no-smoking area. Besides, it will help dwindle the rate of smoking. For instance, my uncle used to be a heavy smoker. His job was quite demading because he had to meet customers in the office which is a non-smoking place. When he started working there, he felt stressful without smoking areas, so he could not smoke. Fortunately, after a while, he accustomed to his workplace, he quit smoking. In this sense, Non-smoking area can help people lessen or quit smoking.
On the top of that, smoking is more harmful for second hand smokers rather than smokers. By inhaling, it excerbates people's lung. So it brings serious lung's cancers. For instance, according to a particular research' survey, it is likely to get cancer for second-hand smokers twice higher than smokers. Moreover, smoking interupts other people a lot. As my own experience, when I keep smelling smoke for 5 minutes, I get a headache for a while. Besides, the smell of smoking makes people frown and unpleasant. In this way, smoking in public places makes other people unhappy.
As I have mentioned above, smoking is not only harmful for a smoker but also worse for second hand smokers. In this respect, prohibiting smoking in public places can also lead to lessen the population of smokers. All in all, non-smoking area will occur cleaner enviroment in our society. |
