Should smoking on campus be banned? – Pro

Cigarettes are bad for your health, there is nothing good about smoking tobacco.

The first smokers in the world didn’t even inhale the smoke, but people these days really take it into their lungs.

Tobacco was legalized even though it is 100 percent dangerous.

Those who choose to smoke are aware of the damage that they are causing to themselves and people should be allowed to make their own decisions.

Secondhand smoke is the reason why I think smoking should be banned from the campus because not only are smokers doing damage to themselves, but also to the people around them.

I also think smoking should be banned because of the influence it has on students.

People who smoke cigarettes don’t even want to continue smoking but they find it difficult to quit because of the amount of highly-addictive nicotine.

There have been ideas on how to reduce the smoking rate in the United States.

One of those ideas was to reduce the amount of nicotine in cigarettes and include bigger amounts of alkaline.

Nicotine, as you may know, is the addicting factor of a cigarette.

Alkaline, however, is what makes you choke on a cigarette.

By applying alkaline and reducing nicotine, smokers will not enjoy cigarettes like they did before, so they’ll stop smoking.

I thought this was a very effective idea for those who want to quit smoking, which is the majority of smokers, but those who don’t want to quit won’t like this very much.

I don’t really mind that people like smoking, but as many smokers as there are throughout the campus, there are just as many nonsmokers.

I don’t think it’s fair for people to suffer through secondhand smoke.

My sister is a cancer survivor, so cigarettes are her worst enemy.

She plans to go to college next semester, so how will she and other non-smokers with her situation study with all the smoke in the air?
