Smoking is a major cause of serious illness and death throughout the world today. In the interest of the public health, government should ban cigarettes and other tobacco products. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In the modern era, there have been accompanying issues with smoking which can be a considerable cause of severe physical

health

issues. There are some

people

who believe that accepting smoking tobacco products including cigarettes should be regulated by

government

as

this

increases a massive risk for society members in indirect smoking including

children

.

However

,

this

can be considered as overstepping if a law might be established at the

government

level.

For

this

reason, I have different viewpoints from them. First of all,

this

is undeniable that smoking behaviour has a number of negative impacts on public

health

, especially the young generation.

This

is

due to

the fact that young

people

might be exposed to harmful places where adults smoke regardless if there are

children

around them.

Although

young individuals under a certain age

such

as 18 are still restricted from smoking cigarettes, they cannot be free from other adults' impacts.

This

would have an enormous impact on

children

's physical

health

. As a severe example,

children

who have parents smoking might have a high possibility of having severe cancers which can be caused by indirect experience of smoking from their parents.

Nonetheless

,

although

this

is a significant issue for

children

's

health

, most governments in the world have not put any regulations on selling, buying, and smoking tobacco-related products.

This

is because governments cannot limit all-grown individuals' choices in the light of human rights. In the UN's human rights

declralation

declaration

, the sentence can be found that governments should respect individuals' choices.

For

this

reason, creating new rules in society would lead to

people

's voices who disagree and resist the

government

which might bring different social issues to the public.

On the other hand

, the

government

always carry their responsibility to minimise harm to

people

who do not smoke

such

as

children

and non-smokers among adults by legally appointing smoke-free areas or smoking areas for public

health

.

To conclude

, it cannot be marginalised that smoking and selling cigarettes might bring an undeniable issue, especially among young peers.

However

,

this

should not be neglected that restricting smoking with the regulation might infringe human rights standing against respecting

people

's choices which I am partly in the same vein.
