In many countries, smoking is now illegal in public places. Many people believe that such a ban is justified. Do you agree or disagree?

Smoke is prohibited in public areas in many nations, a law supported by many people as a correct measure to society. From my point of view, smoking should be restricted continuously to aware society of its damage and consequences not just for
smokers
, but for people around them.
Firstly
, the prohibition of smoking in public places
such
as parks, hospitals, cafes, and other spaces is a beneficial step because it is proven scientifically that passive
smokers
can develop diseases
such
as cancer
as well as
the smoker.
Consequently
, the restriction of unwanted exposure to smoke in public spaces limits
this
type of issue because most of the time non-
smokers
can not avoid the presence of a smoker and its bad
habit
in communal places.
For instance
, with the ban on smoking indoors in Brazil, the rate of lung cancer and other lethal diseases among workers in public spaces declined consistently.
Furthermore
,
this
ban has the advantage of helping those addicted to cigarettes to quit their habits. Because they are not allowed to use it
while
joining with friends or family in common social places, dropping the necessity of
this
addiction and inducing them to stop
this
bad
habit
.
For example
, many
smokers
report that social pressure to stop the harmful
habit
of smoking is one of the main reasons why they want to quit.
To conclude
, I believe that the law of smoking ban in public areas in many nations is justified by the necessity to make
smokers
aware of
this
harmful
habit
and to prevent innocent people from developing serious health conditions caused by passive smoking.

Ensure that your introduction sets up the main argument clearly and concisely. The phrase, 'From my point of view, smoking should be restricted continuously to aware society of its damage and consequences not just for smokers, but for people around them,' could be rewritten for clarity. For example: 'In my view, the continuous restriction of smoking in public places is justified to make society aware of its harmful effects not only on smokers but also those around them.'
