Antismoking laws

Everybody knows “Smoking Cigarettes May be hazardous to Your Health” and “long –term smoking may cause lung cancer.” But why many people like smoking? In over past years, there are more and more people smoking in Taiwan. This is a very serious issue. I think how to reduced quantities of litter, healthier environments and giving smokers incentive to quit is our government’s responsibility. The government has enacted laws to limit on smoking.

First, antismoking laws are to protect people from the effects of second-hand smoking in public places and indoor (like restaurant, school…etc). Setting the smoking area/room for smoking guys, which is avoid an increased risk of heart disease, cancer, emphysema, and other diseases for no-smoking people.

Second is to increase the health tax on cigarettes. People have to spent more money to buy cigarettes. It’s very easy to reduce the purchase desire.

The final is enacting laws to improve our environments. The smoker always littered the cigarette butts at anywhere.

To summarize, antismoking laws will cause more inconvenient for smokers. Therefore I still support this policy. It will help smoker to quit smoking easily and protect our environments.
