Smoking Should be Banned Only Developed Country

Question: Discuss about the Report of Smoking should be banned worldwide for only Developed Country. Answer: In todays world cigarette smoking has become a common threat in not onlydeveloped country but also in developing country. It is a well known fact that cigarette smoking is injurious to health but still people are making it a habit. And because of the influence from social circle, youths inculcate the habit of smoking. There are around 700 chemical elements like nicotine, carbon etc which are used in the making of a cigarette. Coughing, deterioration of physical health, lungs etc are some of the diseases which are caused by smoking cigarette (Pastalavista, 2012). The hard earned money is being wasted on buying cigarettes rather to use it or spend it on food, Education and health. Money can be regarded as one the major elements to buy a cigarette. But at the same time if money is not available people rely on activities like stealing and robbing etc. So it can be said that money is not an issue for the smokers if they want to smoke they will by any means. It is noted that majority of criminals are smokers because smoking contributes to lack of thinking, as a result of which people lose control over their mind. (Pastalavista, 2012). In this regard the thesis statement is stated as, Whether smoking should be banned worldwide or not.(Quit Smoking Community, 2016). In past several years, various laws have been enacted in order to ban smoking in different parts of the country. All nations have their own prescribed legislatures regarding smoking. Some countries ban the use of cigarettes in public places completely and impose heavy penalty for the same. Although some countries allow smoking in certain places, such as bars and clubs. According to Various Studies done by the researchers it has been observed that smoking not only contributes to bad health of the smokers but also the people who are close to them. Other individualswho dont smoke are becoming passive smokers as they intake the smoke which the smokers breathes out. Therefore, it is believed that smoking should be banned in public places. Although people argue from both the ends as some people argue that smoking should not be banned and some argue that it should be. The bans which are being imposed on cigarette smoking in bars, restaurants etc are imposed in order to help non smokers against inhaling tobacco smoke and becoming passive smokers. The rate of heart attacks has increased now days to which smoking contributes a larger share. Various researches have been done and it was founded that laws made in order to prevent smoking have helped in reducing the rate of heart attacks (Winslow, 2016). People who are against smoking think that health is the main concern for the people, so it should be outlawed completely citing bad health. It is said that it would be good and for the betterment of public at large, as they will be free from smoking cigarettes for whole of their life.The people who smoke sometimes argues on some points that passive smokers who get harm by the smoke sit there by will of their own to breathe in others smoke by going to such places which allow smoking.At the same time they agree that for once the smokers should be allowed to smoke but up to a limit so that the rights of people close to them are not being affected.Drinking cigarettenot only harm the adults but also the children who are nearby. The people who smoke do not have an ability to make a difference between good and bad things. Therefore they not only pollute the whole environment but also the society (Pastalavista, 2012). Although some people favor smoking, but it has been a proven fact that smoking cigarette not only results in bad health of the smokers but also of public at large. Any person who is in indirect or direct contact with the compounds like tobacco can inculcate diseases like cancer of mouth, lungs and different body parts. It is not good to blame others for such a cause. Although as a result of imposing ban the smokers feel that the freedom and rights given to them under the constitution are violated.Non- smokers accept that smokers may sometimes feel that their rights are being violated by outlawing their habit of smoking. The price paid for buying a cigarette may be small but because of it the health of people at large is on stake. (Quit Smoking Community, 2016). Many smokers consider that the restriction imposed on them is unfair as this habit is bad for them and therefore government is no one to make concern for the same. They believe that there should be exemption given to them to smoke in private property and some public places. Thailand was regarded as one of the worlds fast runners in order to fight against the ban of smoking from public places as a result laws relating to anti- smoking were introduced in the nation in 2002.After 5 years, UK also introduced similar laws in their nation Scotland in 2006.As in Thailand the restrictions on indoor smoking was levied in 2002 and since then only smoking is prohibited in all the air conditioned indoors exempting the areas for entertainment. In 2008 the nation announced several other restrictions stating that smoking should be banned both in indoors, outdoors and places which are open for public including bars, restaurants etc. People who failed to comply with the said provisions were asked to incur a 2,000 baht fine and for public places will face a fine of 20,000 baht for not imposing ban including the display of NO SMOKING sign boards (Beyond The Mango Juice, 2012). It is concluded in the end that as smoking is a cause of a lot of bad habits and also is injurious to health of people who smoke and public at large. So cigarette should be banned although it is not easy to stop it in one shot but if government makes stringent laws on cigarettes and also impose a Hefty amount of penalty on smoking cigarette then it will to some extent help the public. It can also be done by imposing taxes. A better world can be made or left for the upcoming generation if smoking is eliminated by willingness of smokers and other crimes (Pastalavista, 2012). Cigarette is also regarded as a death causing element in the history of the human civilization. As a result of smoking Cigarette about 6 million people die every year. It is also regarded as a defective drug which is extremely harmful because it produces an inhalable smoke which harms people at large (Proctor, 2016). An initiative has already been taken by the government in the form of Nicotine Chewing gums which have been out there in the market for the benefit of the people who smoke. So government should ask the food departments to make such kind of food in which they include such a type of ingredient which can help the smokers to eat it more whenever they go to a place to smoke. They should feel that they are having such a good food that they dont require any smoke after having such a tasty dish. There are few recommendations which can be provided to support the argument that cigarette should be banned worldwide such as Government should provide some kind of benefits so that individuals get attracted towards those and even though for a shorter span they will be not be in contact of such activity. Government should create rehabilitation centers for the chain smokers so that they can stay there without any cost and implementation of various activities, exercises and other programs can help them to recover from various illness caused by continuous smoking.
