In my opinion, smoking in public places should be prohibited. There are many reasons that support this point of view, but today I want to concentrate on three reasons.
One reason is that is harmful for non-smokers, another reason is that smoking is a cause of pollution, and a reason is that smokers have other ways to receive nicotine.
Firstly, smoking is harmful for non-smokers. Smokers should have the right to smoke, but it's not reasonable if that right is harmful to others. Obviously, if people smoke in public places, non-smokers have no choice but to become secondhand smokers. Don't non-smokers have the right to choose not to be secondhand smokers?
Secondly, smoking is a cause of pollution. There is a lot of research that shows that many kinds of gases that are released by smoking and are harmful for the environment, such as tar and carbon dioxide. Everyone knows that now the environment is getting worse and worse. Do you want smoking to be another source of the problem? :SugarwareZ-035:
Lastly, smokers have other ways to receive nicotine. Nowadays, we have many ways to receive nicotine, such as nicotine gum and nicotine patches. Smokers can use these products instead of smoking. Do you really want people to smoke in public places instead of using these new products?
In conclusion, I want to say that there are no reasons left to permit smoking in public places, and I also think that maybe this is the time for people to quit smoking. Banning smoking is not just for us, but for this world and for everyone who has to live in this world after us.:nonono:



WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS??????????????
 
There is little doubt that smoking tobacco is extremely harmful to the smoker's health. In the US, for example, research by the American Cancer Society suggests that tobacco causes up to 400,000 deaths each year - more than AIDS, alcohol, drug abuse, car crashes, murders, suicides, and fires combined. World-wide some 3 million people die from smoking each year - one every ten seconds - which estimates suggest will rise to 10 million by 2020. Smokers are up to 22 times more likely to develop lung cancer than non-smokers, and smoking can lead to a host of other health problems, including emphysema and heart disease.One of the main responsibilities of any government is to ensure the safety of its population; that is why taking hard drugs and breaking the speed limit are also illegal. It would therefore be reasonable to ban smoking - an activity which kills millions of people each year.
 
Smokers, beware! Puffing causes hundreds of thousands more deaths than previously thought, a new study has revealed.

An international team, led by researchers at Glasgow University, has found that smoking increases chances of dying from cancers of the colon, rectum and prostate as well as from lymphatic leukaemia.

As per World Health Organisation statistics, these illnesses are responsible for 930,000 deaths worldwide every year, in addition to more than five million smoking-related deaths caused by diseases such as lung cancer. The new study is based on data from 17,363 male civil servants based in London, the 'Scotsman' reported.

It found a 43 per cent increase in the chances of dying from cancer of the colon, a 40 per cent higher risk of dying from rectal cancer; a 23 per cent increase in chances of losing one's life to prostate cancer; and a 53 per cent rise in mortality from lymphatic leukaemia among smokers. "Cigarette smoking appears to be a risk factor for several malignancies of previously unclear association with tobacco use," the researchers were quoted by the leading Scottish newspaper as saying.

Added Dr David Batty of Glasgow University: "What this study shows is that smoking is linked to more kinds of cancer than previously thought. "It's important to remember that cancer is not a single disease and that the various kinds of cancers are different illnesses so you couldn't necessarily assume that smoking was linked to them in the same way. What's unclear is how exactly smoking causes these cancers."

well, i think its the right move, to stop smoking in public places, many studies have shown the harmful causes of smoking, & any way if nt i have seen the consequences of the same in my family... SSmoking is really harmfull & i think its quite right to ban smoking in public places.
 
Hi ankitgokani, ya what you said is absolutely correct that smoking in public place should be prohibited. My views is same as what you said.. Thanks sharing your information.
 
smoking should definitely be banned in public places since its injurious not only to the somker's health but also to the one who breaths in the smoke emitted by someone esle !!!!

if smokers want to desperately smoke, then, there must be smoking zones for them.:director:
 
dude i am totally agree wid u bt as far as india is concerned untill n unless judiciary will become strong no lawz will be effective
 
it is banned in public places but just look at the implementation..its so beautiful...if any one goes to a constable,he sends him to inspector,inspector tells him that the area does not belong to him so u have to register a complaint in a different police station..when one goes to that police station inspector asks them to fill a form which is not available with them and they have to go a registrar for the form..this circle goes round and round and round without any result...i m a smoker but still i have a decency that i shouldn't smoke in a public place...So guys please stop smoking in a public place..
