More people should not be allowed to smoke in restaurants and bars.
Firstly, smoking has serious
negative health consequences. Nicotine contained in tobacco is highly addictive and smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. According to WTO, every year, 8 million people die from using tobacco. Second, smoking is dangerous with people who are near you. Cigarettes contain harmful ingredients like: nicotine, monoxit carbon, …, so when a person smokes, they can emit smoke that pollutes the air and those people around you will smoke passively.

In conclusion, smoking causes many disadvantage for both smokers and non-smokers, so we should ban smoking in all restaurants and bars.
