Band 7

Some businesses now say that no one can smoke cigarettes in any of their offices. Some governments have banned smoking in all public places. This is a good idea but it also takes away some of our freedom. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons.

The question of whether cigarettes should be strictly regulated by cooperation and the government has long been debated. Some argue that
such
 an approach invades people’s
freedom
.
However
, I personally support the government legislating relative laws and enforcing them on people who smoke. In
this
 essay, I will elaborate more detail regarding the reasons why I advocate
this
 method.
To begin
 with, concerns are raised that
such
 aggressive policy could
consequently
 violate
freedom
 which is the primary birthright of humanity.
However
,
this
 is not the first time that some particular materials are banned, heroin and marijuana are two examples.
Although
, those drugs are utilized as medicines or medical necessities,
conversely
, they can negatively harm people’s well-being both physically and mentally. Similar to those, cigarettes are
also
 proven detrimental to an individual’s
health
, causing cardiovascular disease and even lung cancers. In order to protect public
health
, the regulation of smoking is justified.
On the other hand
,
freedom
 is based on the premise that not affecting others.
However
, researchers have proved that smoking not only impacts its user detrimentally, but so-called second-handed smoke
also
 put the public in a dangerous position. In short, whoever inhales
such
 smoke, their
health
 is negatively affected.
As a result
, it is more common that smoking area is strict in certain places. In a nutshell, as a risky substance, cigarettes pose considerable
health
 hazards to its inhaler, and other than its consumers are
also
 impacted. And,
this
 justifies the government’s legislation and regulation on
such
 matters without violating people’s
freedom
.
For
this
 reason, I firmly recommend all institution to do the same.
