Smoking in restaurants, bars and pubs should be banned in Slovakia
Smoking. Annoying habit that interferes with nonsmokers and smokers themselves too often. For centuries people around the world are subject to it, regardless of age, gender or race. Some smoke because they consider it to be modern, to fit into some games and some because it calms them down. The most often we get in touch with cigarettes is in restaurants, bars and pubs, and therefore as a non-smoker I personally think, and I will show you that smoking in these areas should definitely be banned.
Concentration of tobacco smoke in establishments of this type is extremely high, since all piled in small enclosed spaces. This high concentration causes anyone not used to the smoke, at least irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract, headaches, nausea and dizziness. As customers, we can choose to enter or not. But what if you're a non-smoker and work in such a place, such as waiters and bartenders? According to the employer's general obligations arising from the Act. 124/2006 in the statute, employers are required to provide employees with a work space where smokers may not be exposed to smoke, which is in bars, pubs and restaurants grossly violated.
Even my next argument relates to legislation. Despite the fact that according to the Law on Protection of Non-smokers from May 2004 smoking areas must be separated from non-smoking ones, smoke often penetrates or is transmitted into the air-conditioned non-smoking parts. This causes a problem, especially in restaurants, as our olfactory senses and taste are closely linked to each other, for us non-smokers eating becomes not very pleasant. In addition, companies wanted to meet the regulation at minimum costs, therefore in mo...

...ose who choose to live without cigarettes should not be forced to inhale cigarette smoke under any circumstances. Therefore, smoking in bars, pubs and restaurants should be prohibited. The ubiquitous cigarette smoke spoil time spent among smokers in these facilities by its unpleasant smell and additionally appreciably affect their health. No smoking in these areas indirectly dictate the laws designed to protect the right of non-smokers, but regulations by them are adapted or completely ignored. Smokers can choose when to light their cigarettes. Nonsmokers cannot choose when, where, and even whether to breathe. I sincerely hope that all smokers will think about the above arguments, and that they are convincing enough that at its next meeting in one of those facilities they would get up and went out to smoke, despite the fact that an ashtray is laid right before them.
It put some restriction in public place but It doesn’t prevent it also smoker can freely smoke in other places except public. The logical flaw happens when the writer uses wrong information.
...fected as secondary smokers. Universities, public places, and stores have laws to control smoking in their locations, but since there are thousands of people, customers and the public in general who smoke, it is a very controversial topic and it is difficult to have a final decision about it. Many people argue that why it is possible to drink beers in some activities the university organizes, as a result we can see there are no laws that is focus one single aspect and many people believe that the administrative of the university want to have that market of students who do smoke instead of sending them to other location so they loss people, so loss money. The most important aspect is to take into account that health disorders can take place and smoking is not a specifically and advantage. Smoking is actually a negative variable for any heath problem we can have.
... “Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. It causes serious illness among an estimated 8.6 million persons, it costs $167 billion in annual health-related losses, and it kills approximately 438 000 people each year. (n1, n2) Worldwide, smoking kills nearly 5 million people annually. If current trends continue, this number will double by 2030, and smoking will kill more than 1 billion people during this century” (Frieden and DE). Therefore, banning smoking in public places can reduce at least some of these problems and would enable people to live in a healthier way.
One of the largest and most problematic health issues in our society is smoking. Smoking is currently the leading cause of death in our country, due to its harmful and addictive contents, such as nicotine and tobacco. Although millions die from it each year, smoking is the single most preventable cause of death. Without smoking, a tremendous amount of money and lives will be saved. I think that our country should ban smoking and the production of cigarettes in order to maintain a healthier nation, help save the environment, and prevent the almost 1000 deaths that they cause in fires each year.
This problem, which plagues all Americans, should have action taken on a local scale to help protect the health of the public. The Ames City Council is in the process of debating a city ordanince which whould ban smoking in all public places, with the exception of those designated as "smokng areas". A public place shall be defined by Subsection 142B.1(3) Code of IowaAmes City Council, Current Odrances, http://www.city.ames.ia.us/Whatsnew/smokingban.htm).
In my opinion, I think smoking in public isn’t good for non-smokers because if they breathe the smoke of smokers their health will be unhealthy a...
Many restaurant and bar owners think that the ban will decrease business, but a counter-argument to this is that only twenty percent of the city's population are smokers, and when the smoking ban is in place, the other eighty percent will go out to bars and restaurants, dramatically increasing business. There are many different opposing arguments to banning smoking, and the debate will probably never end. Smoking should be banned in public places because, although some may argue that it infringes on their freedom, smoking is replete with harmful substances. People should be able to frequent bars and restaurants without the fear of experiencing an asthma attack or developing lung disease. Everyone deserves the freedom to live and breathe without restriction.
Should cigarette smoking be banned for everyone in the United States? Why? Why not? Should those who chose their time smoking to relieve stress, personal enjoyment, or simply just because, have to lose their right to what makes them happy? Smoking tobacco products has been around for decades and in many different forms. Should personal rights be pushed aside to please those around us that disagree with the so called “disgusting habit”? In the paper The Washington Times an article caught my interest called”D.C. seeks bans on smoking in national parks” written by Steven Dinan. In this article he stated that “Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton wrote Park Service Regional Director Steve Whitesell saying she’s heard from constituents who fear breathing second-hand smoke while using national parks.”(Dinan, 2013) I don’t think they should. All throughout the world people do things that is not always agreed with in different cultures in communities but even religions. Some people believe eating red meat is a sin but should you take it away from those who enjoy it. We are living in the land of the free. Aren’t we? I am against the banning of tobacco products because not only is it a right as an American citizen to be able to smoke, it is a job for American citizens, and as long as smokers are knowledgeable about the product causes it should be a personal right to choose.
yet it is one of the most dangerous things you can do to yourself. Many people
The sale of cigarettes and tobacco is a multi-billion dollar industry, but is it truly worth all the problems that stem from their use. Health care costs are extremely high due to all the health problems associated with cigarettes and tobacco. Even though research has proven time and time again the harmful effects of cigarettes, and the rising cost of health care caused by cigarettes our government will not take a stand and stop all manufacturing of the horrible toxins.
Have you ever been in your favorite restaurant and just as you are about to take a bite of your favorite dish, your lungs are filled with a cloud of smoke which has drifted to your table from the smoking section just a few feet away? This is a common complaint of many patrons who enjoy dining at restaurants. While it is true that the smoke from cigarettes causes many health problems, is it fair to take away the freedom of Americans who wish to smoke? Even as compromises can be made on this subject, the majority of people stand by their strong opinions on whether smoking should be allowed in restaurants.
So, should you smoke? be banned in all public places? I would say yes, they should. Firstly, when many smokers smoke in public places, the people around them who do not smoke breathe in the smoke and they become passive. smokers.
Secondhand smoke is a very big danger in public places and is putting people at risk. Some people completely ignore the health risks of not just themselves, but also the people around them. The reason smoking is already illegal in places such as public restaurants is because of the toll smoking may have on the people around them. Not only should other public places be allowed to ban smoking, but they should take these issues that come along with it and get rid of it altogether.
Hands busy ( do not poke your nose ) . But the employer feels that the smoker must use your hands to work instead.
Smoking ban in public places has been a hot issue these last months not only in Malta but also in various countries who are discussing the effects a ban would have.
