11 из 14 Оценка эксперта внизу
In our modern world the issue of smoking has always aroused disputes. Some people believe that smoking should not be prohibited. However, others claim that smoking should be allowed.
Personally, I suppose that the government should forbid smoking. Firstly, smoking has a detrimental effect on people`s health. The vast majority of people who smoke everyday have pulmonary diseases.
As a result, smoking must be banned, if people want to live longer. Secondly, cigarettes cost a lot. A person can spend a significant amount of his budget on this detrimental addiction. Thus, people would have more finances if smoking were banned.
Nevertheless, there are people who are sure that smoking should not be prohibited. They suppose that the government makes much money from selling cigarettes by exacting large taxes. Consequently, smoking contributes to wellbeing of the country. Moreover, some people can merely get rid of stress by smoking. As a result, smoking can prevent people from depression.
Despite being convincing, I cannot agree with the above mentioned ideas. Smoking should be disallowed, because there are many other activities which can help people to cope with stress, for example sport and cooking.
In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that smoking should be prohibited, because it has a destructive influence on people’s health.
