In recent decades, heated debates have centered on the smoking in public

places.Some people suggest that government should impose a prohibition on

smoking in public area,while, others hold perspective that it would limit people
‘s freedom of action.In the essay , a closer analysis on both sides will be carried
out before a personal opinion is mentioned.
On the one hand, It is an acknowledge fact that smoking has negative influence
on both smokers and their surroundings. Despite the fact that cigarettes are
now recognized as a legal trading item,the harmful chemical compounds within
the mixture generated from cigarettes is not only detrimental to the smokers.
But it also is evidenced to make persons who involuntarily inhale smoke suffer
from the effects of second -hand smoke. Thus, enabling to smoke in crowded
places where passive smoking can occur ,with no doubt, damage the health of
more people than just that of active smokers.Especially, children who is the
most vulnerable are more likely to get asthma when exposed to second-hand
smoke.
On other hand, opponents argue that if smoking in public places is banned, it
would mean that humans are prevented from the privilege of freedom of
action.The act of smoking is not against the law,so individuals should have the
freedom to smoke where they want.Moreover,to construct specified smoking
areas to minimize smoking at work places and other populous places will
require a huge expenditure.
