A group of people believe that smoking in the public should be banned. Other groups of people argue that it should not. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

#group #people #groups
It is often argued that smoking in public should be prohibited, while some think
otherwise
.
This
 essay will explain both views before giving a conclusion. On the one hand, smoking in public ignores the right of non-smokers to inhale clean and fresh air.
Firstly
, smoking can
cause
 harm to the smoker, as well, as to those who inhale it. Adults and children are most common highly affected by
this
 kind of activity. It causes diseases in non-smokers like lung cancer and tuberculosis. Smoking in public
also
 invites those individuals that stop smoking to engage in that kind of activity because of the smell it produces. It
also
 causes annoyance to people that smell a foul odour that came from smoking.
In addition
, smoking can
cause
 harm to the environment as well. It causes pollution to the area where there is the majority of people and sometimes once an individual has done smoking, they just throw the remains everywhere.
On the other hand
, Banning to
smoke
 in public will
cause
 outrage among those engaging in the activity. They will feel that they are suppressed by the government because their freedom to
smoke
 in public places we're denied. Smoking is like an addiction to those uses. Some say that it is a way for them to relieve the stress and pressure that they experience in their daily life. Once a person engages in smoking, it is hard for them to stop. What's more, banning smoking in public will
cause
 some businesses to deflate, like the tobacco sector, bars and pubs. In my opinion, smoking should be banned in public places with respect to people who don't
smoke
 and those that stopped smoking.
Although
 they should be provided with a private area in which they
smoke
 freely, because, unfortunately, it is difficult for smokers to quit smoking just because the government said so.
