Dongmyung Lee Sept.30.2008 World History Beef Smoking in a public space should not be allowed.

I strongly disagree with that smoking is allowed in public spaces. Smoking should not be allowed in restaurants, cafes, movie theatre, and bus stops. It’s a place where everyone goes and it is a public space. And one person smoking can impact everybody’s health. I think that is very unfair for the people who aren’t smoking. Second reason is because there are people wanting to quit smoking. However when the go to a restaurant or a café, then he or she will smell the smoke and think it is okay to smoke. Then they will start smoking and that will make a huge difference of his or hers health. A restaurant is a place where we go to eat delicious food. However the people around you smokes and it might impact your food. You go to eat healthy food but if someone smokes, then you are not breathing in clean air, you are drinking the polluted air. I think the cigarette factory should be disappeared. Cigarettes don’t give you any benefits. If you smoke it your health will get bad and people will avoid you. Bus stop is a place where almost everyone goes. Most of the people in Korea take the public bus to go to work or school. While you are waiting for a bus, if you breathe in the smoke, it is more likely for you to get cancer. Movie Theater is a place a lot of kids go. Kids hate the smell of smoke. That is why people shouldn’t smoke in restaurant, movie theater and bus stops. Today in the world, 30 percent of the men and 19 percent of the women smokes. Smoking will impact people’s health because it will cause you cancer. Smoking makes people stupid. Your lung will get worse and it might give you a hard attack. Smoking is not only bad for the people who smoke it. It is also bad for the people around it. It pollutes the air, and the smoke will get into your eye. If the smoke gets into your eyes it will hurt your eyes and you wont be able to see good. A pregnant woman should not be around a smoker. It will impact their baby. It will give the baby a bigger chance of getting asthma. There are no benefits for smoking. I don’t get why people smoke, its bad for your health and other people’s health.
