There are a vast number of people like smoking. Not only the old, the adult, but also school students have been joined in smoking. However, smoking is harmful to one’s health, whether you are smoker or not. Therefore, many countries want to ban smoking in public. But in my opinion, smoking should not be banned in all public. I believe this for several reasons.
Although smoking is harmful to our body, it still has advantages for us. Now more and more pressure makes people depressing and nervous, and Cigarettes provide pleasure to smoker. Smoking is a good way to chase away pressure for someone. I do not think many non-smokers who like snacking, eating junk food or high calories food are healthier than chain-smokers. On the other hand, cigarettes also are useful when we involve in the society, since there are many smokers in Social Occasions. It is easier to talk to them with a cigarette in your hand. Everybody has the right to keep his or her habit. smoke is a usual habit for many people.
In “2007 Chinese finance” the writer states more than 20 percents of the Chinese annual financial revenue is supported by the cigarette-making company by paying the taxes. In fact, the cigarettes businesses become an important part of revenue of country. Therefore if we ban smoking in all public places, it must brings on many problems. I will give some examples. First, cigarette companies sell fewer produces, they have to reduce workers. Many people will lose their job, and that will create new social problem. Second, the country gets fewer tax from smoker, therefore the government does not have enough money to help poor people or do other important contributions and projects.
Finally, I want to say we can not ban smoking in all public places, since smoking is also has many advantages. My suggestion is smoking should be banned in dense places such like bus station, train station, supermarket and so on. And we should build more smoking room.
