SMOKING SHOULD BE BANNED IN PUBLIC PLACES
The numbers of people who smoke have increased over the years. Although smoking is a really bad habit, people still choose to smoke. To prevent this stuation, governments and every single people have to do something and smoking should be banned in public places. In my opinion, there are three main reasons about banning smoking in public areas. These are, the health and safety of people, respect and freedom for nonsmokers and smoking is a bad example for children.

More than 5 million people died over the world because of the smoking in 2000. In addition, tobacco related illnesses cost the medical system billions of dollars.
The second one is respect and freedom for non-smokers. Smoking does not only affect the smoker negatively, it also affects all the people around them. When these people in bar, restaurant or coffee shop, it is strongly uncomfortable for them. For example, you are a non-smoking people and have you been to the restaurant for a romantic dinner but even if you can’t see your partner or even breathe because of cigarette smoke. This stiation will be really uncomfortable for you.
Finally, smoking in public places is a bad example for children. Children are easily influenced in their growing stages. They can not distinguish between, right and wrong and also teenagers start smoking because of public places smokers. When they see adults doing it on the streets they think that smoking makes a person “cool.” Hence, more teenagers start smoking due to the influence of seeing other people smoking in public places.
Taking everything into consideration, smoking should be banned in public places for these reasons. We should do this for live a healty life or respect for non-smokers and equal society. In...
