Smoking not only harms the smoker, but also those who are nearby. Therefore, smoking should be banned in public places. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, the issue of smoking in public

places

has become highly terrible. There are those who say that smoking in public areas should be banned;

however

, others believe that it should not.

I’m fully agree

Change the verb form

I fully agree

show examples

with that opinion. One of the main reasons for banning smoking in public

places

is the

health

risks associated with passive smoking. Second-hand smoke is known to cause serious

health

problems

such

as lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses.

And children

Correct word choice

Children

show examples

, pregnant women, and people with underlying

health

conditions are particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of passive smoking. If someone nearby is smoking, a non-smoker is forced to inhale secondhand smoke, which can contain over 7,000 chemicals, including 70 known to cause cancer. Apart from

health

concerns, smoking in public

places

also

has a negative impact on the environment. Cigarette smoke releases harmful chemicals which pollute the air and contribute to climate change. Banning smoking in public

places

would not only protect people's

health

but

also

reduce the environmental impact of smoking. When cigarette butts are littered in public

places

, they can be washed into storm drains, rivers, and oceans, causing pollution and harm to wildlife. In conclusion, it must be said that smoking in public areas has become a complex issue with no easy solutions. Despite arguments to the contrary, I very strongly feel that we should ban smoking in all public

places

and we will have a healthier and cleaner society.
