smoking should be legal

These day We can see the rate of decreasing smokers through the statistics. Smoking ban has been controversial. Many smokers say that they have a right to smoke without permission while non-smokers say that they have a right to express what they don't like. smoking ban has been conflicting both smokers and non-smokers. should smoking legal or should smoking be illegal. There are 3 reasons why smoking should be legal.

 First, Smoking ban can affect many kind of business such as internet cafe in Korea, restaurant, bar. I think that there is the difference meaning between the word ban and illegal. As many people know , Many countries had made a law which don't let people smoke inside or public site. As a result, many owners of business are complaining about revenue. They say that their revenue decreased around 40% after being made the law. Non-smokers should understand that consuming cigarette can affect drastically economy.

 Second, If smoking should be illegal , There would be problem with tax. The government usually get a financial from the tax based on society. The point I want to make is that The politicians are trying to hide the fact that they get a remarkable financial from the smoker's tax.  Making the low is a good idea to protect non-smoker for their health and to get people to quit . But there are contradictions in their intention. They spend a lot of budget from tax in performing projects like constructing industry facilities , child health care, national events. If there are some of non-smoker in the congress ,why had not they made the law more early? Non smokers should know about the corruption of government. that's why non smokers should not criticize smokers but urge government to not rely on the tax. Remembering that the government introduced cigarette to our life.

 Third, Smokers have a right to smoke because Cigarette is one of the favor foods. If smoking is illegal, Drinking alcohol should be also illegal. The alcohol has also many kind of harmful element to affect our body badly. Moreover, If people are drunken after drinking alcohol, they would commit a crime. The drunken people cannot control their mind. on the other hand, we can't see Any smokers commit a crime after smoking. As stated previously , smokers can adjust their intake of smoking .but it's difficult for drunken people to control their intake.

 Opponents of smoking say that they could be affected by second-hand smoke. The law of prohibiting smoking has already fulfilled for a long time. As non-smoker have a right to express what they hate, smoker also have a right to express what they want to smoke wherever. Smoking space is getting disappearing gradually. I think that non-smokers need to put their position on the smokers and try to find out solution for smokers than just try to ignore smoker's rights.


 In conclusion, there are many reason why smoking shouldn't be illegal and also the countries which had implemented prohibiting smoking show that serious economic problem happened. The best way to not affect each other is that government should mediate and find out solution which between the nonsmokers and smokers can accept ideally.
