Smoking prohibition is a widely-spread controversial issue. Whilst some people believe that smoking should be banned in public places, others have a diverse view because the latter discern that preventing cigarettes would be a violation of their civil liberties. I completely agree that the smoking should be forbidden and smokers have to pay high taxes. In the following lines, I intend to explore a thorough presentation of my perspective along with my opinion. On one hand, smoking has many
