Some governments have banned smoking in all public places.
Smoking has been proved to be very dangerous to health. Nonetheless 40 % of the population smoke. Actually I am a non smoker, although I used to be a smoker   but of the smoke of my friends cigarettes.

Most people try out smoking when they are young ; many youths think smoking is a good grown-up habit. Furthermore many young people begin smoking as an act of rebellion and independence. Young smokers start smoking at their age of 12 or 13 just to get a taste of , what it is like. Some of them find it disgusting and unhealthy and some of them find it cool.

Tobacco use kills about 420, 000 smokers each year. According to recent studies 53.000 nonsmokers die each year from second-hand smoking. It is not surprising. Despite having plenty of anti-tobacco commercials on Television, and on every single pack of cigarettes there being an important note, chain smokers can’t kick their bad habit. In Hungary a packet of cigarettes costs around 2 Euros. The average smoker buys a packet a day which comes to 730 Euros per year. Could you imagine , what you could do with all that money?

Last month while I was reading the newspaper, I came across this article: „Smoking is not allowed in any public places anymore.” I found this ministerial decree, a very good decision, due to there being many smokers in my social surroundings I mean my friends. There is no assigned smoking area for them. As a consequence I have to breathe smoke although I don’t want to. So this law could help the nonsmokers health.
