Some people believe that the use of mobile phones in public is annoying as smoking and should be banned. Do you agree or disagree?

Uses of mobile
phones
in public
places
is disliked by some masses and they opine that it is as intolerable as smoking and
therefore
should be prohibited. I partially agree with
this
situation as speaking loudly in public sometimes causes very embarrassing situations
however
, it should not be strictly banned in consideration of the case of an emergency. To start with,
although
public
use
of mobile
phones
is very common everywhere it has some disadvantages. Public mobile
phone
use
can lead to several unavoidable situations ,especially in public transport, hospitals and educational institutions.
For example
, when
people
speak loudly on their mobile
phone
or watch a video with a high sound it sometimes causes sound pollution and hampers the concentration of the surrounding
people
. To add to it, it is very dangerous for those who are talking on a mobile
phone
while
crossing the road or driving. That type of carelessness causes road accidents and even lifeless. A recent study based on RMIT University illustrates that an average of 20 per cent of road accidents are caused by using mobile
phones
while
driving.
On the contrary
, the full prohibition of mobile
phone
use
in public
places
has some drawbacks as well. If mobile
phones
are prohibited in public
places
in case of emergency it would be very hard to contact security or any family members.
For example
, a lot of crime is happening especially in urban areas.
Therefore
, without a mobile
phone
contacting with police would be impossible.
Moreover
, public transport apps are mostly used by
people
through mobile so commuting would be impossible without the
use
of mobile
phones
.
For instance
, around 67% of
people
are using mobile
phones
for transport issues.
To conclude
, using a mobile
phone
cannot be totally prohibited like smoking in public
places
because of its various uses.
However
, it should be under control to escape unavoidable situations.
