IELTS》Smoking is a bad habit and should be abandoned completely world-wide. Give your views in not less than 250 words.
IELTS》Smoking tobacco like other dangerous drugs should be made illegal. Do you agree or disagree?
IELTS》Some people claim that using tobacco has brought several social problems and smoking should be banned. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
TOEFL》In some countries, people are no longer allowed to smoke in many public places and office buildings. Do you think this is a good rule or a bad rule? Used specific reasons and details to support your position.
In all likelihood, the war against tobacco use will not come to an end anytime soon. Anti-smoking campaigns have in the past half century won many battles without actually winning the war. Smoking bans in workplaces and public places have become public policies. But smoking has not been stopped. It has only moved elsewhere. Regardless of the fact that smoking is dangerous to public health, tobacco use remains not illegal. Many people keep smoking, anyway.
It has been medically proved that smoking as an addiction harms nearly every organ in the body. Researchers linked smoking to cancer and other diseases in the 1950s. Doctors believed them in the 1960s, but it was not until the 1970s that the public took notice. Tobacco use has since become an international health issue. Yet, why not make tobacco entirely illegal like other drugs?
Obviously, the problem of cigarette smoking is nicotine, meaning tobacco use is addictive. But to outlaw lightening a cigarette is easier said than done when about 40 percent of the global population may not quit smoking. A total ban on tobacco use is certain to trigger underground economies like cocaine trafficking. As of now, no analogy could be correctly made between tobacco and cocaine. Therefore, the approach to deal with smoking tobacco should be different, of course. As a result, all health regulations and tax measures have proved almost futile to break the chain of nicotine addiction.
In plain truth, anti-smoking also has a social cause: the freedom to breathe clean air. The rationale is that smoking is optional but breathing is not. Thus, smoking bans must exist to protect breathing people from the second-hand smoke. About this, addictive smokers mostly keep their right of silence to the point of resignation. Among many chain smokers, a certain kind of fatalism seems to prevail. Smoking kills slowly, they know that. And so what? Who is in a hurry? Eat well. Stay fit. Quit smoking. Die anyway.
