Many office authorities impose a restriction on smoking within the office premises. Some governments have even banned smoking in all public places. This is a good idea but it takes away some of our freedom. What are your opinions on this?

A majority of work places enforce a strict guideline within their compound. The elected state in several areas has

This

would reduce the right to practice one's freedom.

This

essay will focus on highlighting the causes to support my opinion. The primary two reasons are smoking, being a choice and the damage incurred by passive smokers.

Firstly

, to smoke or not is an individual's personal decision. Just because anyone wants to smoke, it does not mean that the other has to bear the brunt of it. When a person

in office or any other public place, everyone around can smell it; not everyone is comfortable with the

Therefore

, if the question is based on someone's personal approach,

then

every single person's thought who happen to be affected by it, need to be considered.

For example

, a recent study by Columbia University shows that 55% of the working population agree that they would prefer working in an office which does not allow smoking.

Secondly

, all public places are accessible to everyone. Some people might be allergic to the smoke. If the bureaucracy does not make a law to curb smoking. Smokers can start smoking at all the available areas which are

for non smokers.

For example
