Some businesses now say that no one can smoke cigarettes in any of their offices. Some governments have banned smoking in all public places. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons.

In recent years, some businesses and governments started to restrict the place in which

people

usually smoked,

such

as offices and some public areas. I firmly agree with

this

policy, and

this

essay is going to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of

this

issue. On the one hand,

people

who have an addiction to smoking would feel inconvenient about

this

policy.

For example

, they could directly smoke in the office or on the street before;

however

, they now have to find another place to relax themselves rather than smoke wherever they want.

In addition

,

people

who have mental or physical problems need to use cigarettes to maintain their health conditions. Research has shown that smoking can help

people

to control their weight, so it would cause some trouble if the government banned smoking.

On the other hand

, most

people

hate the smell of cigarettes, especially secondhand one. Many reports have

also

shown that secondhand smoke is the culprit of a lot of diseases

such

as cancer and lung problems.

Moreover

, by restricting smoking places, we can

also

reduce the number of cigarette butts.

For instance

, we can put some trash cans in the smoking places, when they finish smoking they can throw cigarette butts into the trash cans

instead

of tossing them on the street. In conclusion, as far as I am concerned, I support that the government should legislate and ban smoking in all public sites so do businesses because they should prevent

people

from the harm of secondhand cigarettes. In

this

way, we can reduce the risk of getting some serious illnesses.
