Ban the Smoke! Moving Towards a Ban on Cigarettes

Forbidden to smoke has become a major public health problem in the United States for many years. They should be banned because they caused many lives. Other countries such as the US government and the UK are beginning to ban smoking in public places. Security guards of this approach think smoking poses a health risk to non-smokers. This could lead to a big economic consideration for tobacco, the second largest cause of death in the world.

Introduction Over the past few decades, more countries are banning smoking in public places, including restaurants and bars. Unlike other tobacco controls such as taxation and promotion prohibition, this territorial smoking regulation caused hot discussion. Some people (Viscusi, 1994; Tollison and Wagner, 1992; Lambert, 2006) thought that the implementation of this regulation is inefficient and lower the welfare of the people, but other people deny the smoker to think about it I insist on forcing external externalities "Why can a sick person at a pharmacy go behind a store to buy a medicine and a healthy person can buy cigarettes before?" Of course, smokers support and confirm the right to smoke anywhere.

Supporters banning smoking in public think that the smell of cigarette smoke is unpleasant for non-smokers, as no one is a smoker. They also refer to the health effects of secondhand smoke on nonsmokers like smokers. Some fundamental supporters of the prohibition support the full ban on tobacco use and further cite the impact of smoking on the health of the smoker himself. On the other hand, the prohibited people believe that if smoking in public places should be illegal, tobacco will be an illegal or prohibited product. They also believe that smoking in public places is an infringement of their special right as a legitimate act. Another reason why smokers are angry with a public smoking ban is that smoking is legally protected as a law and their legal activities should not be interrupted for the time being.
