“The government is debating whether to ban smoking in all public places”

Personally, I totally agree with this law –if it would be passed- because I am a totally “anti-smoking”. Nevertheless, not everybody thinks the same as I do –what a mistake!-.
Actually, in Spain is banned smoking in some public places and in a part of the restaurants that are bigger 100m2 –these restaurants have to separate the “non-smoking” area from the “smoking area”-.

Firstly, I think that banning smoking everywhere is a good thing because smoking is not only bad for the smoker; it is also bad for people who are round the smoker. Smoking damages health, and if I do not smoke and I do not want to, why do I have to breathe other’s smoke? If someone wants to smoke, they can do it in their own house or on the street but not next to me.

I also agree with this law because it could help smokers to leave smoking –something really difficult-. And it could also end with the tobacco industry and we would avoid that those businessmen, who only sell drugs –because tobacco is a drug- became richer.

Finally, if the government passes this law, the government will have acted correctly, since it will help to improve people’s health. However, I do not think that the government accepts it, because if it was approved, the government would lose an important way to earn money for its (in fact, “their”) “full of coins” pocket. It does not interest politicians. But that law will have to be passed sooner or later because people are not stupid and they know that tobacco is a drug we have to end up.
