The use of a mobile phone is as antisocial as smoking. Smoking is banned in certain places so the mobile phone should be banned like smoking. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It has been claimed that like smoking, mobile phones should be banned in some places due to their harmful effects. While I accept that the

use

of mobile phones is antisocial in some ways, I believe it has more benefits and

therefore

should not be prohibited. On the one hand, I agree that the

use

of mobile phones can sometimes be antisocial.

Firstly

, these devices might disturb people’s work or study in some cases.

For example

, the sound of a mobile phone can interrupt a lecture, which affects the concentration of students.

Secondly

, the

use

of mobile phones

also

adversely impacts communication between people. Since individuals currently tend to spend too much time using mobile phones, they seem to have less time to interact with others.

On the other hand

, I disagree that mobile phones should be banned because of some reasons. The

first

one is that since they allow people who live far away from each other to speak or send messages, they help people keep in touch more easily.

For instance

, students who study abroad can

use

mobile phones to make phone calls or even video calls with their family. The

second

reason is that mobile phones often provide users with many useful applications

such

as maps and weather forecast, which can make people’s lives become easier.

Additionally

, using mobile phones is not as bad as smoking as some people think. While smoking directly affects people’s health and leads to health problems, the negative influences of mobile phones are less serious. In conclusion, while
