Smoking should be banned in all public places.--We disagree!

Team　members: Azusa Irisa, Yurina Hamada
Resolution: Smoking should be banned in all public places.
Affirmative or negative: Negative


We don't think think that smoking should be banned in all public places. We have three points: relaxing effect, communication with others and economic effect.

1. Relaxing effect: It is common knowledge that we can get relaxing effect from smoking. We feel many stresses in public place, so we need putting out the stress. It is effective to reject the stress to smoke.

2. Communication: Smokers can build a good communication in various places, for example bar. There are people of various generations. It begins from lending and borrowing of a cigarette lighter and smoker enjoying talking. But Nonsmokers can't appreciate it.

3. Economic effect: Tobacco brings about positive economic effects. Charges of tobacco contribute to the local society. And if the number of smokers decreases, people who make a living on the tobacco culture can’t live.
