As a society we know smoking as a very old and tough addiction. Nowadays we fully understand how badly this influence on us. However when we start to debate about some restriction to smokers it is every time ends by trouble. But what we can do to find a common ground and find some solution?
In my opinion best way to stop these conflicts is it work of goverments in this problem completly, step by step. Problem have several origins, and most of them social, people in some cases don’t understand how harmful his adiction for their life and for society in general. We must admit harm of passive smoking. We must work with huge companies increase prices on their production.
Without a lack of a doubt we should highlight smoker’s role as a negative and show that their addiction harm more than one person. For example in Australia there are a special ‘cages’ on a streets for smokers and that shows how unpleasant this addiction. It surprised me a lot and I think it can be powerful. And also cost of tobacco products in Australia very high that make this addiction for someone is not affordable or financial unpleasant.
On the one hand we should think about society and health of cityzens , on the other hand we can’t discriminate someone by any criteria.
In conclusion I suppose that solution in this area is complicated government policy, that include strong issues in making this bad habit unlikely for customers but also without strong restrictions and descrimination.
