[Text]:

Smoking in public places should be illegal, and today, we the affirmative
team, will give

you many reasons to prove why.

People have been smoking cigarettes for hundreds of years, but it wasn't
until

recently that people started to realize exactly how bad cigarette smoking is.
It can have a

number of negative effects on the smoker, such as - Lung Cancer, Emphysema,
Heart

Disease etc…Not only can it have these effects on the smoker, but a person
who is simply

being exposed to the smoke can contract the same illnesses, which hardly
seems fair.

Smoking in public places is actually endangering people's lives.

Secondhand smoking is proven to cause lung cancer. Many reputable groups that

have inspected the evidence have reached the same conclusion, such as the US
Surgeon

general's office, National Research Council, National institute of
occupational safety and

health, international agency for research on cancer, and the US occupational
safety and

health administration. Studies conducted show that people who breathe
secondhand

smoke are 150% more likely to get lung cancer later. Exposure to second hand
smoke

causes about 47,000 deaths from heart disease and 3,000 lung cancer deaths,
making

Secondhand Smoke the third leading cause of preventable death in the country.
Not only

that, but Secondhand smoke causes up to 300,000 cases of lower respiratory
tract

infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia in infants and young children.
These children

and adults are totally innocent, and have made the choice to keep their
bodies healthy by

NOT smoking, yet their results are just as bad, if not worse, then the
smokers! Americans

should have the right to be healthy if they so choose, and to do that, we
need to create a

smoke-free environment in all public places.

Cigarette smoke contains about 300 dangerous chemicals. In order to contain

these chemicals to just the smoking sections, ventilation rates would have to
be increased

more than a thousand-fold to reduce cancer risk. Even if we had the money to
do that, it

would be impractical, because it would crease a virtual windstorm!

Many places in the US already do ban smoking and the results have all been

positive. 85% of the nations shopping malls are now smoke free. Princeton
borough and

township are doing things that hopefully many other towns and cities will
follow--they are

the first localities in the New York metropolit...
