SMOKİNG

Lately, whether or not smoking should remain legal has been discussed all over the world. While opponents of smoking claim that smoking is risky for health especially for heavy smokers, it should remain legal for two main reasons. Firstly, smoking is a human right. People have the right to do whatever they want and one of the rights is smoking. Anyone puts pressure on that they can not smoke as humans who smoke are deprived of choosing freely. That is violation of human rights. Secondly, forbidding smoking attracts people's attention. According to reports, crime rates have increased due to finding illegal ways to buy a pack of cigarette. To illustrate, In USA at the big depression times people sold alcohol and cigarette at secret places and earned a lot of money illegally. Despite those strong arguments supporting this issue, the defenders who want that smoking should be illegal claim that smoking affects non-smokers negatively. The proponents of the issue have a point, but it is prevented by prohibiting smoking indoor. People cannot smoke some places such as hospital,school, business office. This protect not only smokers but also non-smokers' rights. To sum up, it is crucial that smoking should be legal due to human rights.
