As we all know that smoking is very harmful to our health. Some people think that smoking does not only harm the smoker
,
Remove the comma

show examples
but
also
those who are nearby. So, they want that smoking should be banned in public places. I totally agreed with
this
thinking or point, because many harmful effects of it on our nature
also
. With the help of some points I want to express my thoughts on
this
topic which are the following;
firstly
, there are two types of smoking, first one is active and the second one is passive smoking. A person who can
smoke
is active and who is not a smoker but inhale
smoke
through the air is passive. It means passive smoker smokes indirectly
instead
of direct smoking. But both are affected equally. It contains nicotine which is an adjective substance, it damages all the body organs
as well as
creates pollution. So, we do not
smoke
publicly and
also
ban it in public places.
For example
:-
smoke
contains carbon monoxide if we inhale it replaces oxygen in haemoglobin and cause severe lung cancer problem it pollutes the environment too, and that's the main reason for asthma problem and close difficulty in breathing.
However
, if we
smoke
a head of a child, it
also
lives a negative impact on his mind. Toddlers learn everything from their elders. It's the main cause of children's smoking.
Moreover
, the harmful chemicals of tobacco badly affect teenagers' minds. In conclusion, if somebody has an urge to
smoke
it's better he or she do it in isolation and they must avoid smoking in public places. The mentality of footpath smokers is that,"it's their life they can do anything but they wanna do". But ,practically, socially, and psychologically it's completely wrong because they generate passive
smoke
and definitely impact the health of surrounding people.
