Should cigarette smoking be banned?
Today, it is worldwide trend to be banned smoking. Even though smoking is harmful to health, I don't think it should be banned completely.
First, smoking helps some people more relax. For some, it even improves concentration. Sometimes, people like to smoke when they take exam or need to carm down. Nevertheless, smoking can cause damage others second hand. Some people who has allergy to smoking can get stunned from shock.
Secondly, governments throughout the world make huge profits from levying taxes on cigarette. Government funds the profits to build public facilities such as school, hospital. However, throwing away cigarette butt make surroundings messy.
Thirdly, employing many people for tobacco industry can help economic growth of own country's. But some people contradict that treating diseases caused by smoking cost a great deal of money.
Finally, I don't think cigarette smoking should be banned because people have rights to choose about it. However, without cigarettes, the world would be better place.
