IELTS preparation I wouldn't say that I approve of all recently adopted laws in my country because some of them don't make any sense and don't improve the living standards of a large proportion of the population. But I'm going to talk about the smoke-free law passed five years ago that I find quite beneficial especially for protection of non-smokers from involuntary exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke. This regulation brought a smoking ban into force in enclosed public places such as public transport stops, office buildings, shopping malls, schools and cinemas across the country. I came to know about this law from the Internet and the mass media publications. Also there had been a lot of discussion about new smoking legislation due to that fact that all bars and restaurants had to remove existing smoking areas on site and prevent smoking. Honestly the most people didn’t start following the new regulation immediately. In practice, it was troublesome to prohibit smoking in public areas like bus stoppages. It took a long time and numerous fines were needed to stop people smoke in public places. This law protects non-smokers, including children and pregnant women, and smokers too because passive smoking is harmful for all. I truly hope this law leads to reduce smoking and helps people to combat unhealthy habit.
