ban smoking forever


             Smoking should be banned completely in our country. Do you agree or disagree? Nowadays, smoking becomes more common in not only developed countries, but also in developing countries. Although we have already known that smoking is harmful for our health, the number of people who start using cigarette is annually increasing . I totally agree with the idea that smoking should be banned completely in our country because of its negative effects on health, financial condition of families, and society.


To begin with, smoking is injurious to smokers’ health. In fact, Cigarettes contain over 700 chemical additives, including carbon, nicotine, heavy metals, pesticides…added into a cigarette. They are really dangerous and cause bad effects to smokers, starting with coughing, reduced physical fitness and lung function. People who smoke for a long time can easily be in threat of heart disease, cancer or even deaths. Moreover, smoking also affects the health of those who breathe the smoke. Second hand smoke is almost as bad for you as actually smoking a cigarette.




Secondly, smoking not only leads so many harmful effects on human body but also wastes money. The cost of a pack cigarette a day does not seem much, but it is a lot of accumulated to one year. Obviously, money spent on tobacco reduces the one available to spend on food, healthcare, or education.


Last but not least, smoking affects negatively our 
society. Children and teenagers are by far the most vulnerable. They imitate what adults do and prove that they have already grown up. Without money, they have to try many ways to buy cigarettes such as stealing, robbing… Ones who smokes, has no control on thinking. That is why most of the criminals are smokers. Smokers do not have good ability to differentiate between good and bad things. Hence, they pollute not only the atmosphere, but also the society... Furthermore, smoking is a short way to lead to other crimes like alcoholism, drug addiction, prostitution, and so on.


In conclusion, smoking causes a lot of bad effects to people's health and finance as well as the society. In my own opinion, our country governments and related authorities should ban it for good. It is not easy to stop it completely at once, but if the government starts tightening the law on trading cigarettes and increasing taxes on tobacco or cigarettes, the situation can change a lot. If we are all willing try to eliminate smoking as well as other crimes, we can change the world into a better place for living.
