The government should ban smoking in all public places, even though this would restrict some other people's freedoms. Do you agree or disagree? Give your reason.

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

, it limits an individual ‘s liberty. I entirely disagree with the mentioned statement and

this

essay highlights its upsides and drawbacks.

To begin

with, it has been proved that the smoking business is playing a major role in economic growth and

this

legislation could affect the

overall

income.

For example

, 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

area but

also

the government benefits from taxpayers.

Secondly

, smoking could make people more relaxed and relieve their stress immediately,

therefore

, 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

, 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

as heart attack or lung cancer come and passive smokers are even more in danger rather than addicted ones.

Moreover

, littering among smokers is common and governments should set a budget for collecting and recycling these types of trash.

According to

an article published by Times magazine, The USA spend close to 1 million dollars annually to collect cigarette trash from parks. In conclusion,

while

smoking in shared amenities brings dire consequences, the government may not introduce legislation to ban public area smoking

due to

the fact that it declines economic growth and affects the quality of smokers living negatively.
