Firstly

to reduce the pressure or tension. Most of the people like to

when they are relaxing with friends.

Secondly

, governments throughout the

make huge profits from taxes on cigarettes. The income obtained through taxes provides funds which are used for building school, hospital and public places

such

as parks, gardens, sports ground and foot paths.

Thirdly

, tobacco industry

employs tens of thousands of people all over the

world

, particularly in poorer countries

such

as Zimbabwe or the Philippines. Without cigarettes, these people would have no jobs. Despite these positive effects there are lots of negative effects

Initially

, smoking has been proven to be very dangerous for health. As one cigarette contains more than 4000 chemical substances,

such

as heart attacks, asthma, bronchitis or lung cancer. According to a recent report in Britain close to 3,500 people are killed each year in road accidents and 120,000 are killed by smoking.

, smoking costs governments millions of dollars because of the large number of people who need treatment in hospitals for smoking-related problems.

would be a better place without cigarettes.

However

, the decision of whether _

or not to

should be for each individual to make. I suggest that people should not

they should be free to

elsewhere.
