辩论：是否应该禁止在公众场合吸烟？

Should smoking be banned in public places?

YES

Smoking

increases

the

risk

of

pollution,

global

warming,

and diseases in people.

People who smoke are more likely to develop diseases such as lung cancer and liver cirrhosis.

Cirrhosis is mostly caused by smoking and reduces and even poisons the liver, unable for the

organ to perform its function. For example, a healthy lung is pinkish in color and helps the

person breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. But a smoker's lung is very dark and is

covered with tartar. A smoker's lung is unable to functionally help the person breathe and

increases severe asthma, with causes stroke and heart attack

Smoking is bad for the ones around you

I think that smoking should be banned because I am a kid, and when I walk by a smoker I

always have to cover my mouth which is quiet irritating sometimes. Another reason is that it

pollutes the air. Last but not least, people who have asthma can be harmed or even killed if

they want to take a walk in the park!

Yes it should.

My aunt smoked for years and now it is making it hard for me to breathe. Smoking should be

demolished period! It is a useless hobby that people use because they have no life and are too

lazy to get one. No offense to those that do smoke but I just think it should be that way. I got

lung cancer because of my aunt's stupid hobby! All of you smokers should get a job, get a life,

or get some friends. It would be better for the rest of us that don't smoke. Smoking threatens

the air that we non-smokers breathe, making us get sick. Yes, smoking should be banned in

public places ASAP.

Some people are allergic to smoke!

When I lived in Los Angeles, I suffered greatly from second hand cigarette smoke! I later found

out that I had a smoke sensitivity and just walking by a smoker made me feel ill. My throat and

nasal passage ways were closing up and I had to take many trips to the doctor to get a shot to

calm them down. IS CLEAN AIR JUST TOO MUCH TO ASK?

You can smell cigarette smoke from MANY feet away and people suffer from it. Why should an

innocent person suffer? I didn't make the choice to smoke and yet, I am suffering. Also, I have

to think about ways I can avoid smokers. For instance, when I pass a smoker when I am

walking on the side walk, I have to run and hold my breath or walk the opposite way and

eventually turn around when they disappear. It is ridiculous.

Smoking should be banned to reduce pollution and disease.

First of all it will significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks and other diseases, particularly

among individuals such as children and non-smokers. Secondly, it will help public places be less

toxic and we won't have to deal with pollution. Finally, It could also help some people quit

smoking. If people were allowed to smoke in public places they may not be as motivated to

stop smoking as they are with not being allowed to smoke in public areas.

Yes, smoking should be banned.

Yes, it should be banned because people who smoke say that they have paid enough so why

should they be forbidden to smoke, but it is not the non-smoker fault that they had spend so

much money on cigarettes, it was their own choice. Also, there are many diseases, such as

cancer and cirrhosis that can be easily developed in a living body not just in a smoker one but in

the liver that is needed by the one that is smoking.

Many people today suffer from asthma and they can not have just a little stroke but die.

Smoking also causes pollution and people who smoke leave their cigarettes everywhere they

can (on the ground, in the grass, on the plants). But the biggest concern is that millions of

forests have burned in the past decade just because smokers leave them lit up. It is dangerous

and I think it is more important to save something then to be sorry later for it, and that it is very

selfish from the others who smoke to say that they should be allowed to enjoy the smell of the

cigarettes, while others suffer.

Yes, it's bad for everyone.

If smoking was banned, then heart-related sicknesses could possibly lower just like it did in the

places where it was banned. I don't like having to walk around smoking areas in public because

it's a waste of my time and, if I don't, I'm risking my health. Second-hand smoke is just as bad

as directly smoking something.

It Harms Everybody and Children.

People shouldn't have the right to smoke wherever they want. What sort of example are they

giving to young children and infants? Passive smoking kills so many people it's not fair on

others.

Why would you want to smoke around other people? Your harming them as well. It smells bad

and is bad for the pollution, also it litters our environment making it look disgusting. People

should not smoke in public, but in their homes where they are only harming themselves.

no they shouldn't!!!

people shouldn't smoke in public places because kids have lung problems and the smoke

doesn't help the problem!!!! and for the people who say no is wrong!!!!! i personally have lung

problems and when i'm driving by no i don't want the smell of the smoke in my face and no it

doesn't help my lung problems and when i am trying to enjoy my food i would not like to smell

the smoke while i'm eating. i don't like to smell smoke while i'm going through the park ttrying

to enjoy my day and i smell smoke! for the people who smoke go right ahead one day you

might get lung cancer and think back...why? why did i smoke? was that a bad choice in my life?

no it wasn't and i regret that! if you can get through that cancer you need to thank the lord for

your life!!! ask him for your forgiveness!!! thank the lord for your life!!! go to church get to

know god more and thank him for everything he has done for you!!!!!

Smoking should be banned, it is unhealthy.

First off, it's really unhealthy. It's bad for a person, and bad for the environment. Its bad for the

environment because the smoke goes in the air and causes pollution. It's a major cause for

second hand smoke, lung cancer, and death. The poor decisions of some people should not

effect the lives of others.

NO

People can smoke if they want to!

Smoking is something that everyone doesn't like, but they aren't doing any harm to anyone else

by doing it. Smoking only affects you, not the people around you. I think that if people want to

smoke they can. Honestly if it was that big of a deal they would have made it illegal years ago.

It's just something for everyone to argue about.

You can walk away.

Look you'll most likely be harmed by the stuff that's already in the air than you will be by

tobacco smoke. If you don't like being around smokers, don't be around smokers, simple as

that. Sometimes, public places are the only places these people can smoke, so back off. If a guy

is smoking next to you, leave, or ask him to move, but don't get all preachy about how bad it is.

Besides, people like you won't stop at cigarettes, you'll move to alcohol, then high fructose corn

syrup, fumes from cars, etc. etc. Just let us smoke our cigarettes, if you don't like it, walk away.

Tobacco smoke is no worse than exhaust fumes.

People have no problem standing by endless amounts of idling and moving vehicles, so they

shouldn't mind someone smoking nearby. Exhaust and smog is just as bad, if not worse, than

tobacco. If one tries to argue logically that smoking in public should be banned, the logical

extension is that vehicles should be, too.

If someone chooses to smoke or allow smoking that is their decision. If you choose to not

smoke, that is your decision. You have the choice to not be around smoke. You can not force

someone else to stop what they wish to do because of your own preference or need. I do not

smoke, I just leave the room when someone does smoke. I can not force them to quit for me.

My problems are not theirs!!!

No,smoking should not be banned.!

Smoking is a personal anybody heard of the First they want to kill

their selves with cigarettes, let them and If you dont want to risk your ..Its as

simple as that!!

Say no to ban happy nazis

What kind of person would stop around telling others what to do in their presence? This whole

socialistic society is out of control. If you can't handle personal freedoms maybe America is not

the place for you. Stop ruining everything we fought so hard to obtain - its shows a complete

disrespect for all those who have given their lives for personal freedoms.

Think about it...

I'm not a smoker and don't plan to be. But after reading through these comments, I agree with

one thing. It shouldn't be banned. Maybe regulated or banned in certain places, but not

completely banned. Think back to the Prohibition. Do you want to live through another one of

those? I know for sure that I do not. So if you are going to do anything, regulate it, but we don't

need one more right of freedom taken away.

Smoking doesn't kill everyone.

Smoking is something that people may not like, but it is unavoidable. The risk of getting cancer

or something else from smoking, is about as high as crashing your car. Yes you can die from

smoking. You can also die from alcohol poisoning, or food poisoning, or overdosing, or even by

crashing your car! But that doesn't mean that people stop drinking, or eating, or doing drugs, or

driving!

Why make it a law that smoking should be banned?

People get others to do what they want all the time just by giving them stares and making them

feel uncomfortable. Plus it doesn't matter: people know the risks of smoking. If people want to

get all hurt over a little smoke, ask the smoker to stop. Don't go make a law because you're

uncomfortable. Once you take away smoking, people start taking other things away that are

These aren't even real public places. A PRIVATE restaurant is PRIVATE. A PRIVATE bar is

PRIVATE. It is NOT public. If you don't like that they allow smoking there don't go or leave.

Private businesses are not supposed to be required to cater to the whim or concern of every

single person. To ensure adequate smoke-free recreation licensing for smoke-allowing

establishments should be required but it shouldn't be banned outright.
