nid404:
Stylish wanted a new topic :P Here...this one for you :)
So let's debate ;D

Thanks! :)
Firstly, there is no doubt that smoking is harmful. I think smoking should be banned - yes. Because smoking not only affects the smoker, but also other people. If its done in public, other people who smoke the fumes are liable to be affected too, which is very unfair.
Also, children can learn smoking from people, which is very bad for their health in the future.
I'm a mistake - legalize abortion!:

I submitted 4 pages on this topic to my GP teacher.....

I am very much for it....but since you want a debate I will go against :P
Well, most adults choose to harm themselves even after the know the ill -effects of smoking. Also, people should just not go to places where smoking is allowed if they do not want to smoke passively.
Also, heavy smokers are not likely to give up since they're addicted to nicotine..Also, smoking tobacco is legal, and cannot be stopped. In fact smokers fund their health care with the heavy taxes they pay on tobacco.
Banning smoking in public places will make smokers want to smoke in enclosed areas which is more harmful for passive smokers.

We should analyse it through
1- economic
2- Consumer
3- Government
4-Environmental
Aspects.
Clearly banning smoking might result in unemployment in the cigarette industry?
Profit tax to the government or local board will become the opportunity cost..no?
What about the consumer.. Wouldn't he use illegal methods to smoke cigarette because the addiction is far to over-whelming for some consumers?
