Should smoking be banned?

Smoking is perhaps the most urgent problem of the 21 century. Its banning has both advantages and disadvantages.

The main disadvantage of banning of smoking is that tobacoo industry is an important part of the country's economy. Secondly, a lot of small establishments will lose much money because of the useless of newly built smoking rooms. Finally, the most persuasive argument against the forbidding of smoking is that it might be organised a lot of illegal organisations, which might jeopardise legal trade.

However, the advantages of the smoking ban are numerous, such as the health problems. Firstly, Smoking harms the lungs, when people smoke for a long time they might develop lung cancer. Secondly, it pollutes the air and harms the enviroment very much. Thirdly, people who smoke spend a lot of money on this, although they could use the money more usefully.

To sum up, there are strong arguments both for and against forbidding of smoking. Yet, despite the losing a lot of money and the organization illegal organisations, it seems that as long as so many people smoke, the tobacco industry will only develop.
