Smoking is widely recognised as being antisocial and is prohibited in many locations. Currently, some

 state that the usage of smartphones is the same as smoking;
nevertheless
, from my perspective, it cannot be compared
due to
 the difference between them.
Thus
, I strongly disagree with
this
 issue. There are various background why using a cell phone is not similar to smoking. First and foremost, using a mobile phone does not negatively impact
people
 around,
otherwise
 smoking. Smoking causes smoke, which could negatively affect the environment and
people
 around.
For instance

 the smoke.
Second,
smoking
also
 provokes illness in the smoker; in the long term, most smokers will get lung problems,
such
 as pneumonia.
Hence
, smoking appears to be a bad habit. Another reason is that mobile phones offer numerous benefits and ease our daily activities.
To begin
 with, it allows us to communicate with
people
, mainly with
people
 who are far from us. Take me as an example, I text my cousin who is in the United Kingdom to ask each other how they are.

, the phone can be a thing to release our stress because of the application inside it. To illustrate, my brother likes to play a game after finishing his work.
As a result
, the usage of mobile phones leads to positive development.
To sum up
, I firmly believe that mobile phones are not the same as smoking, and should not be banned. So, I totally oppose the topic.
