    The document discusses banning smoking in public places to protect non-smokers from second-hand smoke, which causes over 600,000 deaths per year globally according to the WHO. Stricter anti-smoking laws that prohibit smoking in bars, restaurants, and public transportation can significantly reduce the number of smokers and lower healthcare costs by cutting passive smoking rates. While only 7% of the world currently has strict smoking bans, experts conclude more must be done to protect non-smokers from second-hand smoke exposure at work and in public places through strengthened anti-smoking legislation.
