Argument essay



Smoking


Nowadays smoking has become a very popular issue. However, in my opinion, smoking is harmful to our health. And I believe that smoking will produce a lot of diseases and problems.

Some people defend smoking for many reasons. First, they believe that smoking keeps them in the best condition and makes them feel comfortable. For example, many people like to smoke when they are playing cards with friends or before they go to work. Moreover, I can see that some people exploit the freedom in smoking in their private places, such as in the home. So they have their own money to spend as they like. Another statement is some people think that smoking keeps them comfortable when they feel worry and anxiety about something.

On the other hand, while I can appreciate the argument about feeling comfortable, an important point is that smoking is really dangerous and it can affect our body. Smoking is a major cause of lung cancer, heart disease and hardening of the arteries. The other argument is about freedom and feeling relaxing effects, so the smoker exploits his freedom and his right, and I disagree with them. The Ministry of Health forced any commercial companies to write down the main effects of smoking to get rid of its troubles.

The personal freedom and rights must be respected, but on the other hand, the health is life and everyone hopes to live without diseases. To protect our society we should discourage people from smoking.
