Smoking: Take It Outside
Furthermore, smoking is a danger to the home and car. For example, people are falling asleep and being careless with cigarettes, causing danger. Therefore, if smokers were forced to take their cigarettes outside then homes would not be in danger of potential house fires. Smoking does not only pose a threat to homes but also cars and driving. For example, cigarettes could distract drivers from the road. House fires, burns and driving distractions, are all accidents that could be avoided if smoking was not allowed inside.
Moreover, smoking in the home and car causes a less appealing atmosphere. Smoking causes a stench in the air that could be avoided. For example, houses where smoking is not allowed in the house have a different smell than houses that do allow smoking inside. The smoke also gives the furniture and draperies a yellow tint. This could be embarrassing and frustrating for nonsmokers in the family. Therefore, smoking outside will keep homes and cars cleaner and less frustrated.
Lastly, it has been proven that not only smoking but also second hand smoke is bad for people's health. Children and other family members are becoming trapped in their homes and cars with second hand smoke. Making people smoke outside is a compromise because the smokers do not have to give up smoking but people who decide not to smoke do not have to be exposed to it. Prohibiting smoking inside helps non-smokers, and could also help people to smoke less. For example if people are forced to take their cigarettes out into the cold, smoking will become less convenient and could result in a decrease in smoking.
Ultimately, smoking should only be allowed outside. Burns, fires, and driving distractions will be reduced. Homes and cars will be cleaner and smell better. Lastly, smoke free environments will improve the health of the whole family. It is known that for many reasons smoking is unappealing, dangerous, and unhealthy. It is also known that people have the right to choice. Therefore, stopping smoking inside and allowing it outside protects rights and health with one plausible solution.
