    WHY SMOKING

    SHOULD BE
    BANNED

    Secondhand smoke exposure is clearly linked with negative outcomes on a person’s
    health. While the exact degree of harm is debatable, a recent study published in the
    medical journal Circulation reviewed 13 studies from around the world and found
    that banning smoking in public places can reduce heart attack hospitalizations by up
    to 36 percent over time, regardless of geographical location. Clearly, it’s become
    increasingly more difficult to make a case that secondhand smoke causes no
    measurable injury to the breather — especially over time. The scientific evidence that
    links secondhand smoke with heart disease and cancer has been mounting for
    decades. Not only that, the effects of temporary exposure to smoke are also well
    documented and include headaches, breathing problems, and even nausea. The
    bottom line is that secondhand smoke has numerous short-term and long-term
    consequences for innocent bystanders.

    1.SECONDHAND SMOKE HAS SERIOUS NEGATIVE


    HEALTH CONSEQUENCES
    Cigarette butts account for millions of pieces of litter annually and detracts from
    a location’s aesthetic. If smokers would dispose of their waste properly when
    they’re in public places, this might not be an issue, but the fact of the matter is
    that they don’t. The evidence is there, littering attractive buildings and the
    surrounding landscape with cigarette butts. A smoking ban would reduce litter.
    Although not a primary argument in support of a public smoking ban, it is still a
    credible one.

    2. LITTER REDUCTION
      In bars and restaurants and other establishments that permit smoking, many
    patrons find the smell of cigarettes to be unpleasant and annoying. Cigarette
    smoke tends to linger on people’s clothes and hair and takes longer to fade
    even after the offending party has left. Clothes worn to a smoky bar may still
    smell like smoke days later.

    3: THE LINGERING ODOR OF STALE


    CIGARETTES.
     It is the responsibility of the employer to provide a safe and healthy
    environment for its employees. While many workers choose to work in
    workplaces that permit smoking, others may prefer not to be around smoke but
    persist because they need the employment. A smoking ban opponent may
    simply say, “work somewhere without smoke,” yet I would argue that your
    insistence on smoking in public is not as important as that employee’s health
    and livelihood. Smokers’ unwillingness to control their urges should not force
    people to change jobs in the name of personal health and welfare.

    NO. 4: THE RIGHT TO A HEALTHY


    WORKPLACE
     We’re not talking only about the high cost of the smoking habit, which can
    average $1,500 a year just for the cigarettes. But there also are smoking
    medical costs. For example, a smoker with poor lung function may have much
    higher medical bills because of the smoking habit. Smokers also pay more for
    life insurance and health insurance than nonsmokers, because of their higher
    risk of health care costs. Smoking lowers the potential resale value of home
    and cars, because most buyers are not interested in purchasing a house or car
    that smells like cigarettes. Not to mention the cost to businesses and taxpayers
    to beautify streets, buildings and other public places that have been littered and
    damaged by smoking. These are some of the hidden costs of smoking.

    NO. 5: THE COST OF SECONDHAND


    SMOKE.
