Smoke does affect not only the smoker but also the individuals who are inhaling the smoke. Many people have understood what it causes or seen the effects of smoking, and yet they still do it.

The laws are a Social Contract. In http://www.dictionary.com/browse/social-contract we can find that social Contract is a voluntary agreement among individuals by which, according to any of various theories, as of Hobbes, Locke, or Rousseau, organized society is brought into being and invested with the right to secure mutual protection and welfare or to regulate the relations among its members. In Brazil, we also have a law that has banned smoking in all indoor common spaces, public or private, such as restaurants, clubs, residential building halls and clubs. I agree with this law, although the smokers, 15% of the population, claim that they have the right to smoke, the law protects the no smokers not only against the unpleasant smoke and smell of cigarettes, and also take care of the public health. Certainly smoking causes illness, and people who do not have the addiction of smoking are also victims of such diseases when involuntarily inhale the cigarette smoke.

In certain places, the government regulations against smoking could be very beneficial. For example, in hospitals or any healthcare

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.

In the summer of 2008, the Smokefree Air Act went into effect in Iowa. Smoking has been banned in public workplaces and transits. Users are fined $50 to $500 if they violate the act. Expanding the fine for smoking could also be another tool to put an end to smoking. Most smokers would rather not pay a large fee and may quit smoking altogether ("14 Central Pros and Cons of Smoking Bans”). At least eighty-two percent of the US population lives in a US state that has enacted a smoking ban. “Almost all states have passed some form of legislation to ban smoking in public areas. In fact, Medline Plus reports that as of May 2010, 39 states had some type of ban in place. According to Medline Plus, 26 of these states have banned smoking in all public places” (Cherney). In 2009, an act was issued to the FDA to stop advertising youth to purchase tobacco products and advertising it to the public.

This act issued to limit the persuasion of smoking in advertisements, sponsoring it in any sort of entertainment or event, and even sampling it (“Laws/Policies”). Banning smoking could also lessen air pollution, decrease fires, lower energy consumption, etcetera. Smoking causes multiple health problems but could easily be avoided by prohibiting

If you’ve watched television it’s likely you know about the no cigarette law campaign, over the years there has been less smokers and nevertheless a campaign came along trying to make an anti-cigarette law.

One major issue of the Smoking In Public Ban is how will the economy react. Some people avoid businesses that allow people to smoke there because they don’t want to endanger themselves, their family, or both. Another pro for the ban in sense of the economy would be the odor of the cigarettes would be gone (Rutherford np).The ban will make businesses more family friendly which will add more money to the economy and cause more jobs be added to the workforce, internal improvements, and many other things that will strengthen our nation.

The law steps in to prevent citizens causing harm to others, whether deliberately or accidentally. However, it should not stop them taking risks themselves - for example, dangerous sports such as rock-climbing, parachuting or motor-racing are legal.

Smoking is an activity in the society that has become a serious topic as it causes health problems to both smokers and passive smokers due to the inhalation of tobacco. Consequently, the most visible alternative for the legislators and other institutions in various countries is the banning of smoking in public. Smoking is not only a social habit that does harm non-smokers but it also takes away their freedom from being forced to inhale the contents of the cigarettes.

Scientists agree that smoking is dangerous. Tobacco smoke can cause cancer, strokes and heart disease. Smoking does not just harm the smoker – it also harms people nearby, who breathe in the smoke (this is called “passive smoking”).

A complete ban on smoking in public is needed to protect people from passive smoking.
