Smoking in common places is becoming a big concern for different communities and many believe that authorities should pass a law to forbid smoke usage in shared areas.
However
Linking Words
, it limits an individual ‘s liberty. I entirely disagree with the mentioned statement and
this
Linking Words
essay highlights its upsides and drawbacks.
To begin
Linking Words
with, it has been proved that the smoking business is playing a major role in economic growth and
this
Linking Words
legislation could affect the
overall
Linking Words
income.
For example
Linking Words
, In Iran close to 100 thousand jobs have been created in the tobacco industry and not only ordinary people are making a living in
this
Linking Words
area but
also
Linking Words
the government benefits from taxpayers.
Secondly
Linking Words
, smoking could make people more relaxed and relieve their stress immediately,
therefore
Linking Words
, imposing a limitation policy will lead to smokers’ dissatisfaction and even the loss of their sense of belongingness to their country.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, it is common knowledge that smoking is injurious to human health and the number of its ill effects will increase when someone uses it in a population. Numerous diseases
such
Linking Words
as heart attack or lung cancer come and passive smokers are even more in danger rather than addicted ones.
Moreover
Linking Words
, littering among smokers is common and governments should set a budget for collecting and recycling these types of trash.
According to
Linking Words
an article published by Times magazine, The USA spend close to 1 million dollars annually to collect cigarette trash from parks. In conclusion,
while
Linking Words
smoking in shared amenities brings dire consequences, the government may not introduce legislation to ban public area smoking
due to
Linking Words
the fact that it declines economic growth and affects the quality of smokers living negatively.
