Should Smoking be banned in Public Places?

Introduction

Smoking has proven to be one of the unhealthiest habits for human beings. It is obliterating the cultural values and well-being of all living beings. The worst part of smoking resides in its implications. It not only devastates the health of the smoker but the ones in his or her proximity have to bear the repercussions. It is very important to understand that non smokers also experience the effects of smoking and in turn ruin their health condition. Public places should be safe for people. In the present society, an individual is not only scared of the terrorist's attacks, but also scared of the various attacks on human health. Should we let the smokers destroy the health of adults, our children and old adults who already have a weak immune system? In such a case a time will can come when our entire society is affected adversely and will be nothing but a hub of coughs, cancer, bronchitis, Tuberculosis and many more (Carpenter et al., 2010). As a responsible citizens, it is every individual's duty to save his or her family and country people from becoming the victim of waves of smolder. I believe that smoking should be banned at least in public places. No one has the right to inflict our environment with impurities and hazardous things. Freedom is restricted to oneself but when it starts to poke in someone else's it takes the form of intrusion. We have to have respect for the safety of other people around us. Otherwise the world can turn into a barbarous jungle where everyone would conceive their own rights and would affect the freedom of others in an extremely unsympathetic manner just like the times of dinosaurs when it was worse than a jungle (Thomson, 2008). Smoking is injurious to health and environment. It has to be stopped in order to nourish healthy atmosphere for all the living beings.
