Summary
- smoking ban extended to food outlets from 1st july
-prevent the second hand smoke blow over
My take
I think that this is a good move in reducing the number of first hand smokers and second hand smokers in Sinagpore. Smoking is bad for health, this is one thing I am sure even smokers themselves will agree. Through smoking, not only will it increase ur chances to get in touch with health problems, it is also bad for ur general physical appearance. This is because smokers have the tendency to have yellowish teeth, bad breath, red eyes and dark fingernails. Singapore is quite a superficial country whereby the first impression matters, especially during interviews. Hence, by implementing this ban, not only is the government trying to reduce the number of first hand and second hand smokers, they are also trying to help a smoker improved its physical appearance.
This ban is definitely beneficial for everyone. I think that man should not be selfish- if they chose to harm their own health, theres no reason why they should implicate others as well. By smoking in a public area such as coffeeshops, many eaters in the vicinity would have to breathe in the cigarette smoke blown over by other smokers nearby. Breathing in second hand smoke is detrimental to health. In fact, it is twice as deadly as first hand smoke. Hence, I think that one should be responsible for their own action and not drag others into this sinking mud as well. Thus, this ban is a good move to reduce the number of irresponsible and selfish smokers.
Lastly, I would also like to point out that a common public area like coffeeshop is where teenagers will go for an affordable meal. By smoking in front of these teenagers, it might raise the curiosity in them to try out this new stuff. Also, since many adults often preach about the disastrous effects of smoking and discouraged them against smoking, they should set a good example for the new generation to follow by not smoking especially in the public area.
