The benefits of antismoking laws
Smoking is now one of the problems of health and air pollution in many countries, especially in
developing countries. People know that smoking is bad and causes awful diseases, but why there are still
smokers? Thus, each of the countries should have antismoking laws so that people would have a better
life. It would actually bring less air pollution, good health, and saving money for them and the country.
First, antismoking laws bring less pollution. We could see the difference of air pollution between
China and Canada. The air in China is full of smoke from cars, factories, boats, houses, and cigarettes.
However, the cigarette smoke is obviously seen because of much of smoking and an incomplete smoking
ban in China. On the other hand, the air in Canada is much far fresher than the air in China because
Canada implements a strong national smoking ban in all public indoor areas. According to
www.thegoodairlady.com, cigarettes have a big effect upon air pollution. It says that studies in Italy have
shown that cigarette smoke air pollution emissions could be as much as ten times greater than emissions
from dissel car exhaust. It says, “Most people assume that this pollution would just be concentrated inside
of homes and other buildings, but it can also impact the air outside as well.”
Second, it brings good health for everyone. People could breathe fresher air, and they would be
healthier. According to www.wikipedia .com on the title of Medical and scientific basis for smoking
restriction about passive smoking, second- hand smoke causes the same problems as direct smoking,
including lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and lung aliments. Moreover, statistics prove that even
non- smokers who often breathe cigarette smoke also have a risk of being lung cancer. In that article, it
was written that metaanalyses show that lifelong non- smokers with partners who smoke in the home have
a 20-30% greater risk of lung cancer than non- smokers who live with non- smokers, and non- smokers
exposed to cigarette smoke in the workplace have an increased lung cancer risk of 16-19%.
Last but not least, it brings saving money and a better economy to the country. According to my
teacher’s speech, he told me that antismoking laws specifically can save the country’s money on less
giving to cure people’s illness and buying more medical machines or equipment for treatment. In my
opinion, antismoking laws can save the family’s money and the country’s money. The family would have

more collected money from not going to hospital, and the country would have more saving money from
few charges for the patients. This is the way that people will have better life in using self-sufficiency
economy, and the way that the country will have a good finance to improve and develop the country.
To summarize, smoking is one of the most global concerned problems that causes air pollution,
health, and financial problems forall humanity around the world. Smoking bans may be the best way to
solve these problems. Moreover, smoking bans would be popular with antismoking supporters when they
realize that these laws give them and their country many advantages, especially cleaner air, improved
healthcare, and a better economy.
