Smoking is responsible for many health problems. Should it be made illegal? Most of the people would agree with this statement: Consumation of tobacco has very bad consequences to the human health. The question to be considerered is: should it be prohibited by the Government? Can the government do it without affecting personal freedom? First of all, smoking is the main cause of an important and severe sickness, the lung cancer. A high percentage of smokers can suffer from this illness, its treatment is very expensive and the life expectancy is very low. Furthermore, lung cancer is not the only sickness that smokers could get. Secondly, smokers are not the only ones affected by tabacco consumption People who are around them, passive smokers, suffer the consequences too. Most of the time they are breathing an air around them which is polluted and this situation can be harmful for their health. In conclusion, smoking should be prohibited only in public spaces (hospitals, schools, indoors, ...etc) as well as in the presence of children, sick people and pregnant women. However, it should be allowed in open and/or private spaces.
