The Importance Of Smoking In Public Places

751 Words4 Pages

Smoking is a problem that not only affects those who smoke, it affects the people around them with secondhand smoke. While many places have banned smoking inside the building, many have no rules over how close a person can stand to the building to smoke or where they choose to smoke. This allows many smokers to stand just outside the doors of the building to smoke, which will allow the smoke to travel inside the building. I decided to observe the reactions of the people in my bowling league at my local bowling alley when they smell the smoke and what they do to try and stop the smoke from getting in the building. During this, I saw many negative reactions from the people inside to the people who smoked close to the doors and allowed the smoke to travel into the building. However, not a single person inside tried to stop this from happening. Many people looked as if they wanted to do something, but they seemed to not know how to address it. This problem is one that many groups have …show more content…

I feel like this would be the best because it would not require any from my group to go up to the smoker themselves and ask for them to move. This would fit with my group, seeing as they originally did not want to go up to the smokers to begin with. Completely banning smoking anywhere outside I do not feel like would benefit my group because then there would be no place close to the league for them to smoke, so they would continue to smoke right outside the doors. While this may not stop all the smoking next to the door, it will greatly cut done on the amount of people who do, seeing that in both groups it found that once the smoking ban was in place and there was signs posted, they had a decrease in the amount of people who smoked near

    Wispy, white tails of smoke drift around the front seat of the car towards the children sitting in the back. The smoke does not amuse the third grader; he smells, sees, and breathes in the smoke every day from his mother’s cigarette. The smoke reaches the newborn infant strapped in her car seat, unable to escape the killer substance hanging in the air. Her lungs slowly adjust to her mother’s killer habits, which then becomes the baby’s killer habit without even lifting the cigarette to her delicate mouth. This scenario occurs in many families and cars around the country, and while many smokers realize the potential, deadly effects on their own bodies, they do not realize the deadly effects on their passengers.

    In my opinion and If I had a say in the banning of smoking, I would not ban it. No one is forced into smoking. It is a person’s own decision in which they decide to light up that cigarette. I do believe that there should be delegated smoking areas not only in some locations, but mostly everywhere. But having to do with making smoking illegal, I believe smoking should be legal.

    Dr. Dresler’s first argument about why smoking tobacco products in public places should be legally banned is that secondhand smoke is dangerous for people of any age. Even though bans are meant to prevent secondhand smoke, it ends up increasing the amount of cessation among smokers. Secondhand smoke is a national problem for people of all ages and must be eliminated from homes, workplaces, and public settings. It is evident that secondhand smoke is having a major negative effect on health because, “greater than 50% of all children in the United States are still exposed to second hand smoke and 1 in 4 American children between 3 to 19 years of age live in a household with a smoker” (Dresler 1).
