what is the reason for not being banned?

Smoking cigarettes should be banned like other drugs. There is no benefit for people’s health; furthermore, it may influence not only the smoker, but also the people who breathe the same air as smokers. I have seen an article about second-hand smoke and it said that second-hand smoke does harm to those around. This means that even if people did not smoke, they may have been influenced by the smokers. In my opinion, it is not fair for non-smokers to have their health harmed by second-hand smoke as they have not done anything wrong.

On the other hand, there are some difficulties . One of the reasons is addiction. Smokers tend to be addicted to smoke even if they want to stop smoking and it may be difficult for them to stop it. Smoking cigarettes has become one of the habits for their lifestyle and also it might be said as a part of life. I have seen many people who want to stop smoking and try to stop it, though, they never succeed. In addition, the cigarette industry is another reason as it is huge, and the income from this market supports the government as a type of tax. Because of strong connection between cigarettes market and politics, I think it is very difficult to be banned.

In my opinion, it is very difficult and almost impossible that smoking cigarettes can be banned. Considering these issue, it is better to do something else instead of banning smoking. For example raising the tax of cigarettes is one of the options which governments may be able to act on. The most important issue to be considered is how smokers think of non-smokers and the influence of their own behaviour.
