I agree that smoking should be banned in more public areas, and I also support the idea that cigarettes should be harder to market. Nowadays, many people smoke in public places without thinking about others. They smoke near babies, toddlers, or even people who are sick, especially those with lung problems. This is not fair for non-smokers who still have to breathe the smoke. Public areas are for everyone, so they should be clean and healthy.
Some people may say that smoking is their personal choice and they have the right to do it anywhere. Others might think that cigarettes are just a product like any other, and it is not fair to make the marketing harder. However, I believe people’s health is more important than personal freedom in this case. If we allow cigarettes to be advertised and sold easily, more people will be interested to try them, especially young people.
Making cigarettes harder to market and banning them in public areas might reduce the number of smokers. Even if some people think it makes cigarettes more exclusive, I think that’s a good thing. It may stop people from seeing cigarettes as something normal or cool.
Also, many smokers start when they are teenagers. If smoking is banned in more places and ads are limited, young people will see it less and may not think it is cool. This can help stop new smokers before they start.
In conclusion, I believe banning smoking in public and making cigarette marketing more difficult is a fair and smart decision. It helps protect people’s health and keeps the environment safer for everyone.
