Summary

Ireland was the first country which enact smoking ban in the world . That extend to not only a workplace but also restaurant. Smoking in enclosed workplace is made illegal and punishable by a fine.
This law was copied by some countries. And recent research prove the smoking ban has a positive effect for health.
But we can’t completely sense that smoking rates decline everywhere. If you can’t smoke inside, you would smoke outside. So it is probable that more and more people in outside smoke or are inclined to smoke.

Reaction

I think the smoking ban is moderately necessary. Sweeping smoking ban is too hard.There are three reasons for this.
First, recently many societies have had negative image for smoking. Health problem,especially passive smoking is very cared.
Second, there are companies of cigarettes. They have a lot of employees and influence on economy. So if the sweeping smoking ban is enforced, employment decrease and economy has big damages.
Last, there are many people who like smoke. Although Cigarettes are ordinary legal products, the suddenly Smoking ban is very hard. We should think not only nonsmoking but also smoker more carefully.
For these reasons, I think sweeping smoking ban is too hard. We should separate smoker from nonsmoking more hard or we should make cigarettes more expensive products.
