Smoking not only harms the smoker, but also those who are nearby. Therefore, smoking should be banned in public places. To what extent do you agree or disagree

Smoking, which is an

act

of inhaling and exhaling the

smoke

of tobacco or a drug, should be placed an embargo on because it not only endangers the life of the participant, but as well as that of the

passerbys

Thus

, I am of the strong opinion that it should be prohibited in the public.

To begin

, one of the numerous reasons why smoking in general environments must be stopped is that it creates a negative awareness to the young ones that it is alright to

smoke

. The youngsters seeing

this

carried out by older people, (a* comma after people*)

I

whom they expect to know better, will believe there is absolutely nothing wrong with indulging in the

act

and

therefore

, will sooner than later start smoking.

For example

, it was proven by the 2001 survey carried out on young smokers that 91% of them grew up having smokers around them.

Consequently

, the

act

should be forbidden in the public in order not to corrupt the minds of youngsters.

Furthermore

, smoking in public areas should be made illegal since it inconveniences others who are in the same space as the smoker.

This

is due to the fact that the smoker might not be aware of the health conditions of others around, as people with illnesses

such

as asthma and nasal irritation, that needs to stay away from

smoke

of any kind will

affected.

This

exposure aggravates the patient's condition and most times, lead to death.

For instance

, it was recorded in 2012 that the rise in the death of asthmatic individuals was caused by sudden inhalation of

second

-hand fume from tobacco products.

Hence

, smoking in general places can cause the death of passive smokers. In conclusion, smoking in public areas should not only be banished owing to the fact that it harms the smoker and those close-by, but

also

because it makes growing children believe it is good to

smoke

, as well as worsens health issues of others.

Therefore

, I very strongly opine its banishment in public environments.
