Ban Smoking
in Public Areas
Have
you ever come home with the stench of smoke clinging to your clothes? Or inhaled a cloud of smoke as a
group of smokers passed, causing you to cough and choke? Neither experience is pleasant, and this is why
smoking should be
banned in public
areas.
Smoking
can be dangerous
not only for the smoker, but also for those around the smoker. Secondhand smoke
is the third leading cause of preventable death (after active smoking and
alcohol), according to the Manitoba Medical Association. They also say that the
smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, 50 of which are known to be cancer-related. Secondhand smoke has
been linked to heart and respiratory disease; lung, breast, cervical, and nasal
sinus cancers; strokes and miscarriages. In children, dangers include sudden
infant death syndrome, fetal growth impairment, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma
and middle-ear disease. People who smoke subject themselves to deadly diseases,
as well as long- and short-term health problems. Non-smokers should not have to live
with the consequences of smokers' actions.
Not
permitting smoking in public areas may help people refrain from smoking. Some
argue that there would
be a significant decline in the clientele in bars and clubs, but non-smokers
actually outnumber smokers three to one. A ban could actually increase people going out because
nonsmokers would
be more comfortable.
There
may also be a sudden realization of the dangers of smoking. With the state
government taking a stand, it may cause people to take another look at the deadly factors of
"cancer sticks." After a recent incident from the widely known Target
Market program, people are
beginning to feel that anti-tobacco efforts are losing their focus. At a local
event a couple years ago, a punk band hired by the anti-drug campaign played songs that included
positive images of cigarettes and other drugs in their lyrics. This is not the
most efficient way to use money set aside for anti-drug programs. Instead, this
money could be
used to enforce the laws that should be passed
to ban smoking in public places.
Sometimes
those you think would
be against the idea of making smoking illegal actually agree with it. Patrick
Reynolds, heir to the tobacco empire, rejected becoming president of his
family's tobacco company because it was proven to have caused both his father's and his older
brother's deaths. Now, he runs a campaign to stop people from smoking. In his
presentation, he states that a smoker will spend about $1,400 a year for one pack a
day. Reynolds also says that the more secondhand smoke you inhale, the more
susceptible you are to
health problems. People working in casinos, for example, are up to eight times as
likely to be in danger of the effects of secondhand smoke. Banning smoking in
public places can
prevent death and illness.
Some
say that no matter what, nothing will reduce or stop cigarette smoking altogether. The laws
banning smoking might convince some to quit and create a safer environment for
everyone else. Also, some argue that there isn't money to carry this out. The
money that goes into programs such as Target Market and Big Tobacco will be cut and the
difference will
go toward law enforcement.
Smoking
is a dangerous habit
that not only affects the smoker, but those around him or her. Banning the
smoking in public will
keep non-smokers safer. People who smoke subject themselves to deadly diseases
by choice.
