Is Smoking Ban Working
Jan 16th, 2008 by Study Abroad
As you know smoking in restaurants, bars, hotels etc. has been banned for a while. Whilst some smokers are dying to quit, others would prefer to continue smoking and complain about the ban.
To see if smoking bans are working or not, we need to go to restaurants and bars and other indoor areas where smoking used to be allowed. Talk to people who always goes to those places and learn their opinion about smoking!
Of course bans on smoking won’t make all smokers suddenly quit smoking, but at least that will make them reduce the amount of cigarettes they smoke, and certainly reduce non-smokers exposure to smoke!
The thing we don’t understand that is if this smoke is so dangerous for the people why it is not completely forbidden!?! I can hear what you saying now! Probably if smoking was completely banned for health reasons then people would start smoking illegally, and amount of drugs usage will increase. Surely scientists can find a way to make smokers forget this nasty thing?! The other reason why it can’t be banned completely are producers and governments (can be discussed this one). Especially producers are so strong. Their lobby always working very good, they even donating associations againist smoking companies!(evilly), they are donating cancer organizations (a bit funny, black comedy)…
Articles on smoking will continue…
