Smoking has been proven to be seriously harmful to the smoker d also the surrounding people, It should be therefor banned in public places. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

Yes, I am totally concur with the gicen statement. As the smoking is very harmfull, it should be prohibjted in a public places.
Firslty, it can be seen clearly tha doctors ask the people to keep away from smoking because it has some detrimental effects on lungs of smoker. Pertaining to lung desease, many advertisement has also been made and awaring the people to stay yourself far from this kind o activity.
Besides lung desease, cancer is another cause of smoking. People who use to do smoking continuously, amalgamate theirself in this desease. Therefore, it should be banned in society because World Health Organization, which is an international health organization, is also mesmerizing the people tward this desease.
In addition to these harmful deseases, it is an immense source of creating air pollution in a society for the people around the smoker in a public places. It escalates a smelly and demaging smoke in an environment, in which other people takes breath. Through breathing, they also enhale the dirty smoke, which cause the problem of lungs and cancer.
So in my opinion, our government should block or hamper the way of smoker to smoke in public places where children and their families come for amusement.
