Should Smoking in Public Places be Banned?

Nowadays many countries in the world have passed laws to ban smoking in public places. Some smokers claim that their rights are infringed if smoking is forbidden in public places. However, most non-smokers regard the ban as good news. As far as I’m concerned, smoking should be banned in all the public places such as restaurants, theaters and public squares.

On the one hand, smoking is harmful both for smokers themselves and others. It is reported that every year smoking causes millions of death around the world. On the other hand, smoking pollutes the air. Just imagine that you sit in a restaurant full of smoke, how can you enjoy your meal there? Besides, smoking is bad for the elevation of a country’s image in the world.

I believe if smoking is banned in all the public places, most of us will breathe in more fresh and clean air. And the health condition of all the people will be greatly improved.

公共场所是否应该禁止吸烟?

现在世界上许多国家都通过了禁止在公共场所吸烟的法律。一些吸烟者声称，如果公共场所禁止吸烟，他们的权利受到侵犯。然而，大多数非吸烟者认为禁令是好消息。就我而言，在所有的公共场所，如餐馆、剧院和公共广场都应该禁止吸烟。

一方面，吸烟对吸烟者本身和其他人都有害。据报道，每年吸烟导致全世界数百万人死亡。另一方面，吸烟污染空气。想象一下，你坐在一个烟雾弥漫的餐馆里，你怎么能享受那里的饭菜?此外，吸烟不利于一个国家形象的提升。

我相信，如果在所有公共场所禁止吸烟，我们大多数人都会呼吸到更多清新的空气。全民健康状况将得到极大改善。
