In many countries, smoking is now illegal in public places. Many people believe that such a ban is justified. Do you agree or disagree?
Smoking has been banned in public places like parks, hospitals and restaurants in many nations, and it is a law that many people support.
This
essay also
agrees with this
initiative because it reduces the harmful effects of passive smoking and also
encourages smokers
to quit.
The primary reason why making it illegal to smoke in public makes sense is that it prevents people from developing diseases related to second
-hand smoke. Passive smoking is something that non-smokers
cannot avoid in the presence of a smoker, and it is just as dangerous to people’s health as smoking. A ban in public places limits this
type of exposure. For example
, after Ireland decided to ban smoking in all indoor workplaces, there was a significant decline in cases of lung cancer and other lethal diseases among restaurant and pub workers, leading many other countries to adopt similar measures.
The second
main reason why this
ban is warranted is that it helps those addicted to cigarettes quit their habit. Laws prohibiting smoking in public areas force smokers
to leave the company of everyone else if they want to have a cigarette. Most people dislike feeling ostracised, and this
would provide smokers
excellent motivation to quit. For instance
, social pressure brought about by smoking bans is often cited by ex-smokers
as one of the reasons they gave up the habit.
In conclusion, this
essay believes that making it against the law to smoke in public should be encouraged because it prevents non-smokers
from developing serious health conditions caused by passive smoking and reduces the number of smokers
