Restrict Smoking in Public Places?
Should we allow smoking in public places? Some people are against restricting smoking in public places. They argue that restricting smoking would set up two classes of citizens — smokers and nonsmokers — and would be very confrontational. Such restrictions give nonsmokers virtual dictatorial power to determine where smoking may not be permitted. Moreover, they argue that people working in the same office can't be segregated because they have to communicate with each other.I would argue, on the other hand, that people can't ignore the dangerous effects of second-hand smoke. According to available statistics, about 5,000 Americans die each year because of second-hand smoke. Smoking is slow-motion suicide and second-hand smoke is slow-motion murder. Therefore, smoking should be banned in schools, hospitals, sports arenas, convention halls, theatres or other public places where people have to stay or wait. Businesses that permit smoking at work can provide a room or segregate smokers in one part of a room with proper ventilation. What is more, employees will save money by reducing illness and absenteeism if smoking is restricted in public places. TEXT B
