Argument-Should smoking be banned?


Tobacco is an agriculture product and it's for smoking. Some people say that smoking should be banned and disagree. I will look at smoking from the both sides.

"The government shouldn't ban smoking" smokers say. They shouldn't ban it because there are other threats risk the human life. For example eating a lot and climbing mountain are threats and the government should ban them first. If they ban smoking they will not give the right of personal freedom. They think that smoking is very different from other threat. Although it causes many diseases, it gives a kind of comfort and relaxes. People say that Tobacco is not dangerous as much as alcohol. In addition the government will lose tax, if they ban smoking. Many smokers are of the opinion that most people on earth are smoking. I disagree with this argument. They said that person who live with smokers are a responsible to be in that places. Finally they said that there are no evidence against companies which are produce Tobacco and other things. Although Companies sell these products to earn money, they don't harm consumers.

On the other hand, many people believe that Tobacco is more harmful than alcohol and drugs. It has killed about 400,000 people in the US. I believe that government is a responsible and must ban smoking. However the governments face the personal freedom as an excuse for smokers to smoke so I suggest them to revise the content of personal freedom. I agree that smoking harm the atmosphere and the environment. Moreover it harms the people who don't smoke. The governments should ban the advertising because without advertising the smokers will be quite and take them away from smoking. In my opining I see that smokers couldn't smoke if they have want to because smoking is a chemical compulsion.

In conclusion, I strongly agree that government should ban smoking.
