my topic argument

My topic: Ban smoking in public place.
Ban smoking is actual a problem in the world. Many countries in Europe have a law to ban smoking for many years while in some countries in Asia it is still legal. In my opinion, the goverments should ban smoking in public place.
Pro: passive smoking
tobacco include 4000 chemicals with hundreds poisons.
medical cost and kill more people than AIDS, drugs
consuming break time at work
Con: feel good and more relaxed.
someone think smoking make them look older and mature.

Hi Hai - this is a tricky topic because you can easily get sucked into writing about "why people smoke," which is not an argument essay topic. Right now, your con arguments are about why people smoke, and not about a ban on smoking in public places.

Some people were against this ban because they thought it would be bad for business.

Banning people from smoking in public places is not the same as banning smoking. People will just go outside to smoke. Therefore, isn't the pro argument that passive smoke is dangerous the ONLY pro argument?

Answer this question: "Should smoking be banned in public places?" Yes, because..... and No, because...

we can talk more about this on Monday
