Smoking is an activity that has been around for many years for people to use and adapt into their lifestyle. It is a tool that many people use to help reduce the stresses of life and put them in a comfortable position that enables them to cope with the hectic lifestyle they are living. However, smoking has been scientifically proven to cause many types of cancer, the most common being lung cancer resulting in numerous deaths across the United States.

Evidently, the benefits and drawbacks of smoking have been debated for many years, and only recently have some countries have placed a ban in public places such as Britain and the United

Smoking should be banned in Australia. Smoking is a disgusting habit that many Australians use every single day. The impact of banning smoking altogether in Australia would be a massive favour for everyone. Australian adults who smoke everyday and Australian Secondary Students from the age 12 to 17 smoke over 22 billion cigarettes per year and effecting other people to start smoking because they think it’s a cool way to get attention. But I think that banning it in almost all public places is a great idea but I raise this question to you, “Why not just Ban Smoking?” This question was raised in a ‘The Age’ article in 2013. The main point of the article is, smoking is banned in pretty much all public places and there are often neighbours writing to the council complaining about a smoking neighbour, so why not just ban it altogether?

One of the largest and most problematic health issues in our society is smoking. Smoking is currently the leading cause of death in our country, due to its harmful and addicting contents, such as nicotine and tobacco. Although millions die from it each year, smoking is the single most preventable cause of death as well. Without smoking, a tremendous amount of money and lives will be saved. I think that our country should ban smoking and the production of cigarettes in order to maintain a healthier nation, help save the environment, and prevent the almost 1000 deaths that they cause in fires each year.

I don’t show the smoke for market doors because however you enter site you will not be seen by doors (Unless you enter from van area, which the smoke could allow you to pick them off) You can push multiple angles watching doors not directly allowing you to catch anyone pushing out. I would suggest throwing a Molotov down there though anyway.

“Tobacco is an agricultural crop, most commonly used to make cigarettes. It is grown all over the world and supports a billion-dollar industry.” Tobacco is one of the huge issues that include people in our society. Many people are using sources that will bring up tobacco. Even though TVs, radios or cigarettes packs have warnings on them, people still continue to do it. The government should take more actions to this problem; actions that will make people want to realize the cause that is given to them. Tobacco may not seem to be dangerous but it has causes to humans. People may feel good when they smoke, do shisha or other tobacco related sources that include the same chemicals, but they do not realize the risks that tobacco brings. Therefore, tobacco use should be decreased.

Smoking has become a health hazard to the world today, and there is no better way to settle the problem other than executing illegal smoking.

In many cases, there are smokers who decide to stop smoking and change their lives for the better. An example is David Sturges, who is an attorney and lung cancer survivor. In 2002 David had been diagnosed with a small, malignant tumor in the lower lobe of his right lung-lung cancer. David was fortunate enough to undergo surgery and through his hard journey of recovery survived. Throughout his journey, David recognized that lung cancer is a branch of cancer research and is now traveling the world informing schools, organizations about the suffering f of lung cancer. He travels to schools, conferences, and workshops talking about how smoking challenged his life and raises funds for development in lung cancer research. This is just how one life changing surgery can help one man influence many. (Lung Cancer Foundation of America, 2016)

Do you know anyone that has/does suffer from a smoking related issue, that has never even touched a cigarette in their life? The problems that develop from smoking a cigarette are widely known and many people think it is harmful to smoke, but people never think about the harmful effects from inhaling second-hand smoke. Many smokers smoke in public areas every day. Not only are they inhaling all of the deadly chemicals, but so is everyone else around them. Being around a smoker too often and inhaling all of the chemicals and tobacco from them, can cause you to get many types of cancers and possibly even cause death. For these reasons, smoking in public places should be one hundred percent prohibited (Smoking).

Smoking cigarettes has been a huge public health issue in America for many years. They should be banned for they’ve caused many people their lives. The United States government along with other countries like the UK have moved towards a ban on cigarette smoking in public places. Defender of this approach argue that smoking cigarettes cause health risks for non-smokers. This may lead to a major economic consideration for Tobacco is the second major cause of mortality in the world. “[Tobacco] imposes a terrible toll in health, lives and dollars on families, business and government. Tobacco kills more than 400,000 people annually — more than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents illegal drugs, murders, and suicides combined.”

Smoking was first used for medicinal purposes in the early 1600’s. As time continued tobacco began to be smoked through pipes and eventually became rolled in paper and tobacco leaves. After smoking started becoming mainstream, people began to think of this as a social way to fit in rather than thinking of the effects it can cause to their bodies. Although the harmful side effects of smoking are now public knowledge, people still continue to smoke. Smoking can cause health issues, not only to those who partake but those who are around it. This is known as second hand smoke and because of the addictive effects it possess it can add additional problems. By banning smoking I believe it is a great way to start helping today’s society on a path that will lead to a better future.

Many Americans will argue that they have the right to a smoke free environment, but many others will defend their right to smoke indoors, especially in places such as bars, casinos, and restaurants, where people tend to socialize. The leading reason for their disagreement is that second-hand smoke has deadly effects. In the article, “Health Effects of Secondhand Smoke” it states, Non-smokers who are exposed to second hand smoke in the work place, homes, or public places are 25-30 percent more likely to develop heart disease, so their concerns are valid. Many deaths could be avoided by the elimination of smoking in certain public places. Smoking in public places is not just harmful to those who smoke, but also to those around who choose not to partake in such unhealthy activities; therefore, smoking in public needs to be banned in the United States.

As Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids (n.d.) says “People who die each year from their own cigarette smoking or exposure to second hand smoke are more than 480,000 in the U.S only”(p.1). Many people debate on should or should not smoking in public places be banned. Everyone knows that smoking harms our health and destroys every organ in our body. It also affects our environment negatively. Many people do not know that tobacco was found in America before thousands of years ago. At first people started chewing tobacco and they only smoke it during specific events as been said by the “A brief history of smoking” (2011, p.1). It was considered as a type of accessories for a man to hold a tobacco in his hand. Some people see it as a sign of being mature and old enough so that people would take him seriously and not to mess with him. It became a habit and a trend among people with different ages to smoke cigarettes with variety of flavors and nicotine. However, nowadays scientists and doctors did many studies, that smoking destroys our health and harms non-smokers as well. Smoking also may cause death at young age. Therefore, it is argued that smoking
