There is no doubt that smoking is harmful to
health
 and banning public smoking has become a prominent issue.
While
 some
people
 believe that smoking should be prohibited in public areas, others believe that it should not because it harms
people
's self-independence. I firmly agree with the situation of banning public smoking because it is essential for the well-being of
people
. States are very much concerned about public
health
 and several
health
 issues are associated with smoking
such
 as asthma and even cancer.
Moreover
, smoking not harms the person who directly inhales the nicotine and other harmful ingredients but the others who come in contact with the smoker
while
 smoking. As in public places, there are several means of
people
 like children, elderly adults, patients or pregnant mothers.
Therefore
, smoking should be prohibited in public places for them.
Moreover
, smokers disturbed the non-smokers because of the smoke and irritating smell of the cigarettes. A recent study demonstrates that, if public smoking cannot be controlled it could create an impact on public
health
 and even encourages non-smokers to start smoking which is very alarming.
On the contrary
, some
people
 believe that
,

 the prohibition of public smoking rejects
people
's independence which should not be tolerated. But public freedom is a mere excuse if it is all about public
health
.
Furthermore
, there are so many steps the State can take to ensure public freedom rather than permitting public smoking,
for example
, giving them freedom of speech.
However
, if the government wants to make
people
 healthy and sound, the prohibition of public smoking is a must.
To conclude
, I am firmly on the point of banning smoking in the public. It would help to build a healthy environment for all ages and all kinds of
people
.
