Smoking not only harms the smoker, but also those who are nearby. Therefore, smoking should be banned in public places.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Medical studies have shown that smoking not only leads to health problems for the smoker, but also for people close by. As a result of this, many believe that smoking should not be allowed in public places. Although there are arguments on both sides, I strongly agree that a ban is the most appropriate course of action.
医学研究表明，吸烟不仅会导致吸烟者的健康问题，而且也会导致身边的人的健康问题。因此，许多人认为公共场所不应该允许吸烟。虽然双方都有争论，但我强烈同意禁令是最适当的行动方针。
Opponents of such a ban argue against it for several reasons. Firstly, they say that passive smokers make the choice to breathe in other people’s smoke by going to places where it is allowed. If they would prefer not to smoke passively, then they do not need to visit places where smoking is permitted. In addition, they believe a ban would possibly drive many bars and pubs out of business as smokers would not go there anymore. They also argue it is a matter of freedom of choice. Smoking is not against the law, so individuals should have the freedom to smoke where they wish.
反对这一禁令的人有几个理由反对。首先，他们说被动吸烟者选择去允许吸烟的地方呼吸别人的烟。如果他们不想被动吸烟，那么他们就不需要去允许吸烟的地方。此外，他们认为禁令可能会导致许多酒吧和酒吧停业，因为吸烟者不会再去那里了。他们还认为这是一个选择自由的问题。吸烟并不是违法的，所以个人应该有自由在他们想去的地方吸烟。
However, there are more convincing arguments in favour of a ban. First and foremost, it has been proven that tobacco consists of carcinogenic compounds which cause serious harm to a person’s health, not only the smoker. Anyone around them can develop cancers of the lungs, mouth and throat, and other sites in the body. It is simply not fair to impose this upon another person. It is also the case that people’s health is more important than businesses. In any case, pubs and restaurants could adapt to a ban by, for example, allowing smoking areas .
然而，有更多令人信服的理由支持禁令。首先，事实证明，烟草含有致癌化合物，不仅对吸烟者造成严重危害，还会对人体健康造成严重危害。他们周围的任何人都可能患上肺癌、口腔癌、咽喉癌以及身体其他部位的癌症。把这个强加给别人是不公平的。同样，人们的健康比企业更重要。无论如何，酒吧和餐馆可以通过允许吸烟区等方式来适应禁令。
In conclusion, it is clear that it should be made illegal to smoke in public places. This would improve the health of thousands of people, and that is most definitely a positive development.
总之，很明显，在公共场所吸烟是违法的。这将改善成千上万人的健康，这无疑是一项积极的发展。
