U.K. Smoking Ban

The British government will soon ban smoking in most public places in an effort to protect public health and cut the number of illness and premature deaths caused by secondhand smoke. The Japanese government also bans smoking in some public places. Japanese cigarette companies do not write warnings about deaths caused by smoke. They only say that “Smoking may harm your health.” On the other hand, foreign countries’ cigarette companies say that “Smoking causes the death.”

Smoking does not have any good things. However, there are a lot of smoking people in Japan. I think this is a strategy of the cigarette companies. Secondhand smoke is a big issue. If smokers have children, their children smoke, too. Even though people do not smoke, they could be damaged by secondhand smoke. Smoking kills many people by various causes. For example, lung cancer and myocardial infarction are caused by smoking.

Smokers have to be concerned about their health and the people around them. People should think about the smoking problem more. Considering these issues, I will never smoke.
