In recent years many governments have brought in laws to ban smoking in public places such as bars restaurants and offices To what extent do you agree or disagree with banning smoking in public places

As a result of the trend towards a healthy life and medical research and its outcomes, the government of many countries have recently introduced laws to ban smoking in public places. Some people believe that this is a wrong decision. However, I am of the opinion that there are more benefits for all people than disadvantages. This essay will oppose advantages to disadvantages and will give reasons to support my opinion.

First of all, it can be argued that there is a beneficial effect on health. This is because not only passive smokers are protected against unintentionally second-hand smoking, but also studies show that the number of smokers is declining. In other words, more people kick the habit. Another point is that as a result of the smoking ban, going to enclosed public spaces is much more comfortable. The most significant reason is that by prohibiting smoking it is very family-friendly, as well to eat out. As a result, more potential customers will also visit restaurants they had not visited before.

On the other hand, it is also believed there are some disadvantages. One problem is that the ban is an infringement of people's freedom and rights. This is because the government shouldn't interfere one's personal behaviour in this context. Moreover, the ban causes that many bars went bankrupt. By restricting smoking inside bars, they cannot sale as much as before, due to the fact that the guests have to go out for smoking and will not stay that long because they feel uncomfortable and prefer sitting, smoking, drinking and eating without interruption.

All in all, after looking at this topic, i think that the benefits of the ban outweigh the downsides. Prohibiting smoking has a positive effect on people's health and wellness. However, we must make sure not to destroy small buisness like bars and restaurants by the law come in force too quick.
