The topic of smoking has been argued for a long time especially in public places.Smoking in public places has become the subject of chief concern, and people seem to be at odds and be separated into two groups, - those, who follow the belief that smoking in public places, must be banned, and these people who think that smoking in public places should be permitted.

This study shows the viewpoints of the two sides, those who are for and those who are against. So, let's see how this proves that smoking is harmful.
Persuasion Topic (Need)
Most people tend to say that smoking must not be permitted in public places. This prohibition increases and is supported by both non-smokers and smokers. So, they both support the idea that smoking should be totally banned from public places.
What must be done to satisfy the Need
As we know the danger of smoking is so big. Therefore, we can have different solutions to this problem. First, our schools and universities can have a good role in spreading the danger of it among students and ordinary people. Second, we have different ways to fight it. We can create and specify special places for smokers and others for non-smokers, where each party can enjoy their freedom without violating the other one’s freedom. There should be places that are particularly fitted out for the smokers. Besides, smokers can participate in the activity of public civil services supporting healthy lifestyle, and to raise public consciousness of smoking hazards and second hand or passive smoking as well. Smokers should also understand that smoking in public places actually troubles others, as well as understand the significance of regarding other people's rights. Besides, whole workplace structures have burned to the ground due to somebody smoking inside their workplaces. So, smoking should be banned due to the harm it may cause to workplace constructions. Around three million persons in the world expire from diseases related to smoking each year. So, the government should sanction the trades of tobacco products. This would affect health system that wouldn't need to spend a lot of money on cancer or health diseases .The chemical in tobacco smoke may get the heart veins very narrow, making the heart attack very possible. So, a little quantity of oxygen comes to the heart. As a result of this, the heart has to work harder and harder that is why heart attacks are caused. It is obvious that those who smoke are more often exposed to diseases than nonsmokers. They catch bad colds and lung illness that is known as bronchitis. More than 4,000 harmful chemicals are found in passive smoke.

Nevertheless, the other 'opposing' party considers smoking in public places must be permitted. Amongst the minority, smokers and users of tobacco are struggling to defend their rights. Numerous people consider that smokers have the right to enjoy themselves. They think that the prohibition is needless because it limits freedoms so much. They see it is not necessary to prohibit smoking in public places because this violates their rights, while all persons have the right to enjoy themselves freely without restrictions. It is their personal choice which no one must deprive them of. Besides, the ban could have radical consequences on some industries and trades that may affect the national income in some ways.
Negative outcomes
It actually causes health disasters such as lung cancer, heart disease and bronchitis. Smoking is also deadly effective on the heart of the human being. In the process of smoking, the lungs inhale carbon monoxide and the nicotine which make the blood vessels lesser than they are used to be. Kids are actually subtle to passive smoking.

An individual who is smoking in public places influences the youth so badly to the extent that they are becoming heavy smokers themselves. Similarly, they could be stimulated to smoke and addict other health-destroying drugs.
