¿Should be prohibited that the persons smoke?

It has become fashionable in the world today to condemn smoking. However, although I feel that smoking can be harmful, I don't think it should be banned completely. Let me deal first with the positive side of smoking. First, smoking undoubtedly helps many people to relax. For some, it even improves concentration. Many people like to smoke before exams or when they are relaxing with friends. The governments throughout the world make huge profits from levying taxes on cigarettes. This provides funds which are used for building schools, hospitals and other public amenities.

The arguments against smoking are well known. Smoking has been shown to be dangerous to health. Heart disease, bronchitis and lung cancer have all been linked. There is also concern today about passive smoking. Recent research has shown that non-smokers can suffer health problems if they spend long periods of time among people who do smoke. In general, I think the world would be a better place without cigarettes. However, the decision as to whether to smoke or not should be for each individual to make.

I am agree with the Diomedes opinion, about the negative things, but I really don't think that it has something positive, because is true that you relax, and that you can also concentrate, but at what price? Risking your life and your health? You don't only affect yourself; you also affect other people that are call “passive smokers”. I have members in my family that died of cancer, especially because they smoked, lung cancer and throat cancer, and I also have other members that had to ban smoking because the cigarettes were killing them. So for this reasons I think we should have a world without smokers.

Well, I do not think that it is the solution, you do it all the more so because it becomes tempting and forbidden, something like when you said that your mother not to run inside the house and you did so, as well people know their risks and effects , Is decision of each individual whether to accept. What we should do is to be better places to restrict smoking, it bothers me to my staff much smell the cigarette and all those who do not smoke, deserve respect and we have the same right to breathe clean air as possible in a city so polluted If they want to get sick and damage their lungs as they do so, which pollute them alone.

I think it is necessary to prohibit smoking in public places, since people who are around the smoker does not want to poison his body as he does who is smoking
