It has been a quiet controversial issue whether smoking in public places should be prohibited by law. Although some people argue that this rule deprives smokers of their freedom of behavior, and the right of smoking wherever and whenever they want, I believe that the smokers’ right should be partially restricted under the consideration of public health and other social benefits, so I against to smoke in public location like a restaurant. In my essay, I will talk why I don’t support smoking in the restaurant.

           The biggest reason is that, it is harmful for our health. It causes a lot of diseases such as lung, throat, and mouth cancers, premature births, sterility and early menopauses, and it makes one look older. Scientific studies show that addicted smokers' skin will be grey color, thick, and wrinkled. In addition, the smokers can also harm the health of the other non-smokers with their cigarette smoke. Although a person who likes smoking, other people won’t want to breathe the smoke, and get second–hand smoke diseases. In the restaurant, people are eating something. During we are eating, it is easy to breathe by second-hand smoke. In this case, second-hand smoke will be more than normal situation. Therefore, nowadays many country tried to make a law that smoking in the restaurant is illegal.

           On the other hand, the smokers always say that since they live in the democracy. They have a right just like non-smoker. Smoking is also right for them. Although smoking is harmful to them. They have a chance to smoke. Is that right? This looks like true, but when you don’t break other person’s freedom, it will give to you. If you have nothing to do with smoking, other people could agree that. But this case is different. Other person who sits next to you in the restaurant could be influenced by smoking.

           For example, you with your friends, or family went to a great restaurant, but there are many smokers sitting next to your dinner. You can smell good foods and cigarettes. That will be spoiling your good dinner time. How was that? Can you image it?

           Finally, smoking in the restaurant is not an easy problem, but if you think about other people, you could understand it. Nobody wants to die quickly, and people have a right to enjoy their life. Therefore smoking should do in non-public location or smoking area. The smoking is not for all people, it is just for you.
