Smoking shouldn’t be allowed in public places like parks because of all the little kids running around. People shouldn’t smoke were there’s huge crowds like time square in New York City. Smoking while standing outside a restaurant is giving that place a bad name. Smoking in restaurants was aloud a couple of years ago but stopped. Smokers should stop smoking and look at the bigger picture and help not only save your life but save life’s around you who are inhaling just as much smoke as you are.

...beliefs when it comes to this topic, should it be legalized or not. If it’s legalized, what would change and what would the restrictions be? Would the country save more money? When you look at the positive sides of marijuana, there is more benefits than people realize. Nobody has ever overdosed from smoking weed, and in order to do so you would have to smoke 1,500 pounds in 15 minutes. (greenrushdaily, pg 1) There are more reasons marijuana should be legalized than people think. Such as impact on tax revenue. Colorado collected more than $135 million in taxes and fee on medical and recreational marijuana, sales in the state totaled over $996 million in 2015.(Investopedia, pg 1) Income and jobs is another great example. Jobs such as working at dispensaries or nurseries would create a lot more occupations in the states. A RCG economics and marijuana policy groups says that legalizing recreational marijuana would generate over $1.7 billion in labor income. (Investopedia, pg 1)...

And how did I end up with this ? Simple, I smoke weed or Marijuana, I started to smoke weed when I was in my second year of college at a certain school, a friend of mine introduced marijuana to me and because of curiosity i tried it. At first joint, I didn't felt anything but when i took the second puff my head felt heavy and my eyes are started to turn red and i began to imagining things like birds flying in the sky laughing out loud with the people whom they drop their poop, I also became observant about my surroundings thinking why the leafs of that tree is so green and the other is yellow and we laughed with nothing in particular. But what is marijuana ? Marijuana is a medical herb plant or also known as Cannabis Sativa in scientific name. Some people often said that Marijuana is addictive, YES of course it is.

...Every day in America, a teenager becomes addicted to the most preventable cause of death, Smoking tobacco. Some may do it just because it seems cool, or because they want to fit in. However, they are totally unaware of the dangers of smoking tobacco because of the poor safety warnings on the back of every deadly carton. According to U.S. Senate of Massachusetts Edward M. Kennedy,” Nationally, cigarettes kill well over four hundred thousand people each year.” I strongly suggest that tobacco shouldn’t be legal because it’s bad for one’s health, and it can be the most preventable cause of someone’s death. Tobacco is one of the most deadliest, yet legal drugs known to mankind. According to CDC (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), “Smoking causes 443,000 deaths each year in the United States. 443,000. That’s more than the population of some small cities in America. Cigarettes take more lives than automobile accidents, alcohol abuse, illegal drugs, AIDS, murder, and suicide all combined. (Edward M. Kennedy). Tobacco contains nicotine which is one of the most addictive chemicals that exist. Nicotine is actually used to kill insects, and is more addictive than the illegal drug famously known as crack cocaine. But nicotine is just one of the many deadly chemicals in cigarettes. The deadly habit of smoking tobacco has actually existed for centuries. According to an article titled “Smoking” from 2010,” The dangers of tobacco were not always well...

...mood, make you hungry, heightened sensory awareness and altered perceptions. Personally I’ve been around people who have smoked marijuana and I’ve never seen anyone get angry, steal or try to harm someone while under the influence. I would consider this a safe drug. Marijuana is a good substance to consume, studies from www.brown.edu show that only a small percentage of users become addicted. However, people use the drug frequently can build up a strong tolerance. Another website I found, www.well.com informs people about marijuana, and its effects on the human body. One thing that particularly stood out for me was that it says that “marijuana smoke has been found to contain more cancer-causing agents than is found in tobacco smoke.” I am for legalizing marijuana but I don’t believe it should be consumed in public places and there should be marijuana smoking designated areas just as there is tobacco smoking designated areas because everyone doesn’t want to get high and if it is true that marijuana smoke has more cancer causing agents than tobacco, it should be the person’s option to be in an area in which marijuana is consumed. I don’t agree with people smoking tobacco in public places. The person smoking is not being harmed as much as the person nearby (second hand smoke). The person consuming the cigarette has a filter so all the chemicals are entering their body, whereas people who are victims of second hand smoke have no way of not inhaling the smoke unless they...

...Why I’m Against the Statewide Smoking Ban By: Michael Spatz Imagine you walk into a restaurant and are seated in the smoking area. Knowing that this bothers you, you choose to sit there anyway. A smoker comes in, sits down in the booth next to you and lights up. Believe it or not, this is a common situation that happens for a lot of people. What would you do? Michael Spatz claims that “a statewide smoking ban is not what the state of Kansas needs right now.” (211.) I both agree and disagree with his claim. I agree with his claim due to contrasting and personal experience that Spatz suggest in the article I then disagree with his reasons for the smoking ban, because though I am not one that is bothered much by smoking, but the smell, I believe that everyone had the right to smoke if they please. In Spatz’s article, his first claim is that “Bars will lose the business of smokers, which in some cases, is enough to close down the establishment.” (211.) I completely disagree with this statement. There is quite a controversy about the smoking ban, and seeing as how most Bars allow smoking, I can see how passing this ban statewide would affect most owners. The one place that smokers know they are welcome are the Bars and if they can’t go there to smoke, where will they go? Not all Bars will lose business because of the smoking ban, but many have. Though not all people go to the bars to smoke a cigarette, but maybe to have a few drinks or so, then the smoking ban may not have such...

Have you ever been watching a family friendly television show with your family and a tobacco commercial pops up? This is exactly why some teens smoke.

Then they would want to know what it is like to smoke. They try it, and get addicted. The nicotine temporarily forces...

...around the smoker. Secondhand smoke is the third leading cause of preventable death (after active smoking and alcohol), according to the Manitoba Medical Association.

Non-smokers should not have to live with the consequences of smokers' actions. http://www.publishyourarticles.net/knowledge-hub/essay/an-essay-on-should-smoking-be-banned-in-public-places.html Many surveys, studies and scientific research has proved that smoking is injurious to health. Smoke is unhealthy and suffocating. It pollutes the environment. There are two types of smokers - active and passive. The person who smokes is active and other who are near to him and inhale the smoke are passive smokers. Both are equally affected by the ill effects of smoking. Smokers and non-smokers meet at many places like offices, buses, hotels, etc. So, considering the bad effects of smoking on individual's health, environment as well as individual rights, it should be banned in public places.
