40.1 Smoking should be prohibited (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

It goes without saying that smoking is harmful for our health. Some people think, that it is necessary to prohibit the sale of cigarettes. However, there is an opinion that people should decide to themselves whether to smoke or not. Now, I would like to express my point of view on this issue.

From my point of view, smoking must be banned. To open the list of arguments, smoking is very harmful for a human body. With every cigarette you smoke, the work of your lungs is getting worse and worse. Health becomes weak over time. Moreover, cigarettes have the disgusting smell which is unpleasant for other people, locating next to smokers. This is the reason for banning smoking in public places.

However my opponents believe that smoking helps people to relax.

It relieves stress, clears your head. Also it is the opportunity to spend your time with friends or colleagues. In their opinion, the prohibition of smoking will make people more irritable and passionate, because there will be no way to ease and distract from the routine.

This argument does not seem convincing to me, I claim that smoking is an addiction. There are a lot of other ways to have fun and pass the time without harm for your body. For example, do yoga, walk in the park or go to the pool. It is necessary to get rid of of a bad habit and do not damage your health.

To round it of, I will still speak in favour of the facts that without official prohibition of smoking and the sale of cigarettes, people cannot stop doing because they are depended on it.
