Should we ban smoking in public places? - Alex Villalonga

In 2011, in Spain, smoking in public places was banned. There are many arguments for and against on this topic.

On the one hand, smoking is very unhealthy, and it's expensive. It makes some people spend a lot of money. This prohibition will help them. Furthermore, the smoke annoys people (children, old people) who are around the smokers, and this is as bad for their health.

On the other hand, the smokers say they have the right to smoke wherever they want. But they also think that, in order not to annoy the others, public places should make a special place for them to smoke.

In my opinion, I agree with this prohibition. I would ban the sale of tobacco, but the government doesn't want to because smoking  costs a lot of money to the state.
