Smoking is a habit that has been around longer than you might think or imagine; the likelihood that the habit will stop soon is also extremely low. Most tobacco users believe that cigarette smoking is a way to solve their psychological problems and relax their body. On the other hand, non-smokers argue that tobacco users' claims about the benefits of smoking are unreal perceptions that are only in their minds; Nonsmokers argue that the habit poses serious health risks to both smokers and the people around them. In this regard, most countries have enacted strict laws to help reduce or completely eliminate smoking, as several research studies have pointed out that smoking causes heart disease, lung complications, and other health problems. To support the fight against smoking due to the health risks it poses for both smokers and non-smokers, people should accept the national ban on smoking indoors. Cigarette smoking is associated with numerous health problems; First, the habit increases the risk of various types of cancer, including lung, mouth, throat, and lip cancers. Secondly, smoking causes lung disease due to harmful chemicals in tobacco, which cause dirt and waste products to clog the lungs, damaging them. Third, smoking causes the heart and circulatory system to malfunction as it increases the heartbeat rate, which causes abnormally high pressure along the blood vessels. Finally, it can cause several gastrointestinal diseases by increasing the amount of acid in the stomach. Studies show that banning smoking in public places can effectively help prevent illnesses caused by exposure to tobacco...... middle paper... smokers will understand why it should spread nationwide.
