Smoking in public should be banned - KAY

Smoking in public becomes a controversial topic in the world because it affects non smokers as well. Many countries have implemented a ban on public smoking, smokers get fine if they are not follow the rule. However, is there really the need to prohibit smoking in public?

There are three reasons that smoking in public should not be banned. First of all, smoking helps many people to release stress and even improve concentration. For example, many people like to smoke during the short break to get some new ideas. Furthermore, to become a social smoker will help in the career. People has to spend little of time on socialize with peer or employer to getting recognition. Lastly, it is personal right to be able to smoke in public and no one has the right to forbidden it.

On the other hand, against on smoking are well known. Firstly, smoking not only hurt the person who is smoking and also the people surround them. Second hand smoking is extremely serious because it contains hundreds of toxic chemicals and the second hand smokers have the higher chance of getting lung cancer. Besides that, smoker sometime simply throw the cigarette butt on the road and make the road become dirty and it will damage the country’s image. Even worse, when the cigarette butt still burning, if it is thrown on combustibles and it could cause a fire.

In conclusion, I strongly suggested the smoker should also think about other people feeling and health and only smoking in your own space, not in the public.

  1. Kay,

    Sorry I missed this one!

    Good introduction! In your conclusion you don't say whether it should be banned. Should we just ask smokers to think twice before they smoke in public?

    Good arguments and evidence for both sides.

    I've copied the words below that you could look at again. We'll talk after you'll had a chance to change them.
    - they are not follow the rule.
    - to become a social smoker
    - People has to spend little of time on socialize with peer or employer to getting recognition

    - against on smoking
    - not only.... but also... (changed for you!)
