The use of the mobile phone is as antisocial as smoking. Smoking is banned in certain places so the mobile phone should be banned like smoking. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is often argued that smartphone should be prohibited in some

places

as it makes people become antisocial just like cigarettes as they need to smoke only in permitted areas. The following paragraphs will highlight the downsides and upsides of using mobile

phones

and some relevant examples.

First

of all, nowadays smartphones are used for doing many essential activities

such

as

work

, contacting their companies, studying, archiving important documents, and so on.

For example

, the CEO of a particular company could easily check their profit and motorize employees with programs

such

as software that can be installed on their

phones

.

Therefore

, people are able to

work

from anywhere, at any time. Because of that,

phones

should not be banned in some

places

,

otherwise

, certain workers would lose their freedom of

work

from anywhere and they would have to get back to their offices, missing being at important events

such

as someone's birthday.

On the other hand

, some people only use their mobile

phones

for fun to check their social media, play games, watch videos, and chat with friends. The population has become each day more active on their

phones

, and with that, becoming more unsocial.

This

impact many ways of life of an individual

such

as increasing isolation, anxiety, and depression.

For instance

, a teenager

that is

activated on the smartphone does not enjoy a party,

instead

, only uses her/his mobile phone, not talking to anyone. For that reason, some establishments should prohibit the use of smartphones, helping those concerned to socialize. To conclude, mobile

phones

in many cases are essential

such

as for

work

,

however

, for others, it is addictive like smoking. Overall, in my opinion, mobile

phones

should be not allowed in some

places

, support those who are activated, and for those who need to

work

, have a private space for them, like ,

places

for smokers.
