Smoking should be banned in all public places

Every year thousands of people die because of having cancer or other tobacco related illnesses due to smoking. Smoking is seen everywhere from our own television screens to even the world wide web; the internet. Tobacco is the substance that is in these cigarettes. These tobacco products are promoted through tobacco ads that are found almost everywhere you turn. They are in magazines, television screens, on the internet and even on cigarette boxes themselves.

The Environment Protection Agency also reported that passive smoking causes 2500 to 3500 lung cancer deaths a year among non-smokers in just the U.S. alone. We may not know this but we sure do know that passive smoking can even kill innocents who did not chose to smoke just like how fatal it is when a smoker smokes; leading himself to death. Thus, I strongly feel that smoking should be banned.

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) contains more than forty substances that are known to cause cancer in human beings or even animals. Sometimes people think that its just a few smokers emitting smoke into the air but they do not realize that it is not only happening where they live. They have got to apprehend that this happens from people all over the world and when it is ...
