It is argued that smoking opportunities in public places should be reduced. This essay is agreement with the statement. Smoking in public places has a negative impact on most people in the world, and most people lose. This can be seen from the fact that the percentage of smokers in the world is about 20%, and the remaining 80% do not smoke. The smoking rate in Japan is 21.9%, and one in four to five adults smokes.
May 31st is the day called "World No Tobacco Day" established by WHO, and there is a survey conducted along with it. According to the survey, 45% of smokers and 87% of non-smokers agreed with the reduction of smoking areas. This survey shows that many non-smokers do not have a good image of smoking as well as the existence of smoking areas. They points out that non-smokers may be passive smoking as a reason for not welcoming cigarettes. In other words, they hates passive smoking. Not only the smoke that smokers inhale, but also the smoke that comes out of cigarettes and the smoke that is exhaled, naturally contains many harmful substances such as nicotine and tar. This is an unquestionably dangerous fact. According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the risk of lung cancer from passive smoking is 1.28 times higher and the risk of cerebral hemorrhage is 1.24 times higher. As such, passive smoking is so dangerous and more dangerous for pregnant women and children, non-smokers find it good to have fewer places to smoke.
On the contrary, many smokers think that the decrease in smoking areas is not bad. The main reason for thinking that way was that "I only smoke at home, but I know I'm annoying people around me". Such a person is who wants to quit smoking but cannot quit. For such people, one way is to actively reduce the number of smoking areas and create a situation where they have no choice but to quit.
Others may cite the delay in smoking cessation and smoking cessation in Japan as a reason for their support. Japan has signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control created by WHO, but the reality is that no countermeasures have been taken. Japan is said to be the lowest level in the world because it is called MPOWER, which actually evaluates the increase in tobacco tax and the provision of smoking cessation support. In response to this terrible reality, Japan needs to be more active in quitting smoking and separating smoke. Limiting cigarette advertisements and cigarette sales locations in the cityscape is something you can do, and it may catch up with world standards. We should listen to the opinions of most people in favor of this reduction in smoking areas and take action.
In conclusion, given the relatively large number of people in the world who do not smoke and the risks of smoking, the chances of smoking in public should be further reduced.
