We often see many people blowing smoke; taking cigarettes standing at the corner in public places. In today’s world, except for a few people, no one is unaware of health education. People are provided with proper knowledge about the consequences of taking cigarettes but still the number of people who smokes increases day to day. Taking cigarettes in public not only harms smokers but also greatly damages the life of other people. Thus, smoking has to be banned in public places.
Smokers are generally categorized into two types-Passive smokers and active smokers. Active smokers are those who intake cigarettes by their own will while passive smokers are those who intake smoke of cigarettes without their own will. According to the survey it was found that passive smokers are more prone to respiratory-related diseases than active smokers. It is totally injustice for those people who have to suffer a lot without their own mistakes.
Moreover, teenagers are badly influenced by those smokers who smoke in public places. They think that smoking is a common thing that can be done by anyone and start smoking due to the influence of seeing other people smoke in public places. Similarly, children are also influenced by it and start imitating the same thing they see in public places.
If smoking is banned in public places, it will promote a healthy lifestyle. In the same way, we can get fresh air to breathe and in the end, the rate of smokers will automatically decrease as they are not allowed to smoke in public places. Similarly, it will safeguard the life of other innocent people.
Lastly, smoking has to be banned in public places for the overall betterment of all creatures living in the surrounding.
