Smoking Should be Banned in All Public Places
Every year thousands of people die because of having cancer or other tobacco related illnesses due to smoking. Smoking is seen everywhere from our own television screens to even the world wide web; the internet. Tobacco is the substance that is in these cigarettes. These tobacco products are promoted through tobacco ads that are found almost everywhere you turn. They are in magazines, television screens, on the internet and even on cigarette boxes themselves. Alas, their tobacco ads do not tell the whole truth. Thus, many people fall prey to these tobacco cigarettes and once they try one cigarette, they are hooked on it. The reason this is so is

Thus, I strongly feel that smoking should be banned.
Secondly, smoking does not harm the environment and pollute it. In addition, it is a fact that our planet has air pollution and it can help to continue to harm the planet. Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) contains more than forty substances that are known to cause cancer in human beings or even animals. Sometimes people think that its just a few smokers emitting smoke into the air but they do not realize that it is not only happening where they live. They have got to apprehend that this happens from people all over the world and when it is taken step by step, it does impinge on our planet. In 1995, about 18 million children under 10 years of age lived in areas with air quality that did not meet federal standards. Just think about all these innocent people that these smokers are hurting. This shows that smokers do not even know or bother about the consequences that their smoking brings. I think the only way that they would become conscious of this is if smoking is banned in all public areas.
Another thing is that if smoking was to be banned in all public places, it would force these smokers to smoke lesser and to eventually quit smoking. Smokers would then grasp that they can only smoke in a particular area that is private and personal; like their own rooms. However,
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. According to BBC, "Smoking is a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease" (BBC, 2). 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
Keep in mind, these people don?t smoke themselves, but they are still put at risk by the actions of others. The Saskatchewan Instite?s webpage goes on to state that half of all children exposed to second-hand smoke are exposed at home. While this is an important fact, its importance lies in opposite, half are exposed in places other than at home. In America 25,000 people are killed every year in car accidents, while 53,000 die from second-hand smoke (from Office on Smoking and Health, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/sgr/sgr_1988/). Action must be taken to protect these people from a threat over which they have no control.
Respiratory system (human body). First off, I don 't know why cigarettes are made? Its doesn 't
Have you ever gone to a restaurant or to the bowling alley and come home smelling like cigarette smoke? And while you were there, some people are sitting there smoking by you and you can’t stand the smell of it. So you go out side and to get some fresh air and what do you know there’s some more people lighting it up and smoking but they are polite enough to go outside. Doesn’t this annoy you, that you can barely go anywhere without people smoking in your presence. This leads us to the question, Should smoking in public areas be allowed? Smoking in public areas is something that could definitely be dealt without. The things I will cover with you are the effects of smoking, the effects of
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.
It's clear that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, so smokers think they have the same right as non-smokers and shouldn't be targeted because of how they choose to live their lives and not being limited by where they decide to smoke. While all humans have the right to do whatever they want, they are not allowed to affect other's people health under the name of freedom. When it comes to nicotine the concept of choice is totally false. According to CDC more than 7000 chemicals are found in tobacco, about 70 chemical of them are known to be cancer causing substances. So non-smokers should have the right to breathe clean air and not being forced by other's unhealthy choices. It has been proven that second-hand
yet it is one of the most dangerous things you can do to yourself. Many people
Today, there are over 16 million people living with a disease that is related to the use of cigarettes. Many of the users who do smoke today may have been influenced by the media and how most of the television shows and music videos include
Smoking is an expensive habit. People who smoke cigarettes can spend as much as $2,500 a year on them. Smokers’ claim that it helps relax them and it releases stress but the negative aspects of smoking outweigh the positive. Smoking is a health hazard for smokers and non-smokers. Smokers should have the right to choose what to do with their own health but they should respect non-smokers. Many people believe that there are good and bad outcomes from smoking. I believe that smoking is bad and that it should be banned.
Every year in the United States every ⅕ deaths is due to the smoking of cigarettes. The smoking epidemic has ensued many negative effects to their users, people around users, and the environment. The environment is also being negatively affected because “.69 billion pounds of butts end up as toxic trash each year, making cigarettes the most littered item on Earth” and littering is know to be terrible for the environment. The government has not intervened in illegalizing cigarette usage, so people must make it their responsibility to not start or, if they have already started, to stop. The smoking of cigarettes is a very addictive habit to have and there it makes it hard to discontinue, but nevertheless this should only motivate people to take
One reason why I think smoking should be banned completely; it is because of second hand smoke not only pollutes the environment,
Tobacco is one of the most widely-used recreational drugs in the world; mainly in the form of cigarettes, but also in cigars and pipes, and in combination with cannabis and marijuana in 'joints'. Although most countries put age restrictions on its use, over a billion adults smoke tobacco legally every day, and supplying this demand is big business. As well as having serious health consequences for smokers themselves, the pollution of other people's atmospheres with cigarette smoke also makes this an environmental issue. Attitudes have changed rapidly over the past twenty years. In the developed world, public opinion has shifted against smoking.
According to the CDC website “Tobacco smoke contains a deadly mix of more than 7,000 chemicals; hundreds are toxic, and about 70 can cause cancer. To think this is what people are actually taking into their bodies. On another note all of the people that are taking this into their bodies by secondhand smoke without a choice. Smoking also has an effect as narrowing blood vessels added strain to your heart, as well as harming almost every organ in the human body. Why should someone that doesn’t want to be around smoking have to be exposed to it? What about the children? Being exposed to secondhand smoke increases their risk for SIDS, chronic cough, asthma attacks, respiratory and ear infections. Their bodies are still developing at such a young age, and to think of their bodies being harmed at such a crucial growing stage. This is very unfair, as they have no say so in the
Cigarette smoking is something people all over the world have been doing for about 2000 years. Back in 2003, the first electronic cigarette was successfully created by a gentleman named Hon Lik. Lik was a 52 year old pharmacist at the time, whom of which was also a smoker. The inspiration behind making the electronic cigarette came after Lik’s father passed away from lung cancer due to him also being a heavy smoker. “A Historical Timeline of Electronic Cigarettes.” cassia.org. Consumer Advocates for Smoke Free Alternatives Association, 15 June 2017. The idea behind creating this device was to give smokers a way to still ingest nicotine, the most addictive chemical in tobacco cigarettes, without the countless negative health effects that
Tobacco has been around for many years, and it should be stopped, but can the economy handle it. The tobacco is reaching young children, and not to mention the nonsmokers as well. The medical effects alone should convince people to stop smoking. Even if the people wanted to quit, it's hard because they are already addicted. If the health doesn't stop people from smoking the cost should because this year the tax on tobacco has gone up dramatically. So now the cost is weakening our pockets. The only ones that win in the tobacco field are the Tobacco Company, because they make all the money. If profits fall, all they have to do is advertise a little harder and profits will roll
