Swoosh. Smoke-filled. Inhale. Blow it away. Stop right

there then go away. Smoking has been proven to be dangerous to
one’s health especially for those second hand smokers and it can
badly affect the environment. So, the government implemented
executive order banning smoking in public places nationwide and
smoking tobacco products.
Smoking cigarettes, in public places should be banned
because it’s offensive to the non-smokers who have to endure the
stinking smell of smoke. Consider the typical public places –
a mall entrance, an elevator, a park bench. People come to these
places for leisure, to get to work, for necessity, so they should not
be required to breathe another person’s poisonous tobacco fumes.
Everyone knows that second hand smoking is linked to various
dangerous health effects such as arterial inflammation, heart
attacks and other cardiovascular diseases. Take note that those
who directly inhale the fumes are more affected than the users.
Another thing, our surroundings is already exposed from different
smoke like from the vehicles let’s not add up cigarette smoke to
air pollution because if everyone will continue it, there will be no
clean air to breath in the next years.
With this realization, local government units are
enjoined to develop, promote and implement the Executive Order
No. 26 titled “Providing for the establishment of smoke-free
environments in public and enclosed spaces,” listed as a
prohibited act smoking in “enclosed public spaces and public
conveyances, whether stationary or in motion, except in DSA
(designated smoking areas).” In this executive order, smoking are
banned in public spaces and there are only designated areas
where smokers can stay when heating up their “cancer sticks”.

By banning smoking in public places, fewer people will

be seen smoking and, subsequently, outcast from society. It will
be the thing that those people do; they will have to hide it.
Banning smoking in public places is a wonderful idea and should
be taken up by every single jurisdiction, municipality, city, hole-
in-the-wall town and county in the country.
Let’s conclude this argument by going a step further. If
we can already see how banning public smoking would benefit
our citizens and environment – protecting their health, peace of
mind, homes and possessions – why stop there? Let’s ban smoking
tobacco products altogether! Let’s rid our wonderful society of this
evil poison, this killer of people, this addictive substance with no
health value whatsoever. Banning public smoking benefits
everyone, including the smoker. Oops it’s not allowed here
anymore.
