Smoking should be banned in all public places.

To what extent do
you agree or disagree?
Many people state that a disallowance of smoking should be done in every
public places. In my opinion, I strongly agrees with this suggestion for several
reasons.
First and foremost, smoking in public places will directly affect people’s
health around. Many researches show that people who accidentally smoke form
smokers have a higher rate to get lung cancer because the smoker breath out the
smoke from cigarettes, while people in public directly breath in that toxic smoke.
For example, there was a family in my hood which had the husband smoked about
one pack of cigarettes a day, whereas the wife never smoked but she had gotten a
lung cancer just by breathed in the smoke of the cigarettes of the husband. By
knowing the smoke from cigarettes can affect others even your family, people who
are smoking should reduce their smoking frequency not only to protect people
around but also their own family.
Secondly, the cigarette butt can easily cause fire. Many smokers do not
realize the problem, and they keep throwing it indiscriminately that could lead to
houses, forest,… being burnt. Take my country as example, Viet Nam is a tropical
country so the weather here is very hot and when a cigarette ash be throwed on
grass, it can easily catch a big and dangerous fire. Finally, smoke from cigarettes is
also a cause of air pollution and makes more and more people in society get sick
because of the low air quality.
In conclusion, by these disadvantages of smoking in public places, the
government must prohibit it or have more solutions to solve like build smoking
areas for people who addicted to cigarettes.
