Smoking should be banned worldwide.

Yes, smoking should be banned worldwide. Also, cigarettes and tobacco should be banned to make the world better place to live in.
Yes, smoking should be banned it is very hazardous and will most probably cause cancer
It's a bad idea to try to regulate people to good health. Where does it stop? Do we mandate exercise? Do we ban unhealthy foods? No more bakeries selling cupcakes and cookies. Ban soda? One hour on Lichess per day. Any more is too unhealthy. Streaming services will now only let you watch one or two episodes of a show per day. No more bingeing shows. Too much sitting and too much sitting isn't healthy.

Remember, everything a government mandates is mandated at the end of a gun.

> The only thing you accomplish when you try to ban things like smoking is to drive it underground were it becomes a source of revenue for criminals and put the users at greater risk of tainted ingredients.
Its like what happened when the USA banned alcohol.
How about to price a cigarette ~ 20 dollars, and from this put 19.8 in the care system? Win win for all. Lol
I think there should be more regulations on smoking around others, but I don’t think we have any right to tell people that they can’t do something that only harms themselves.
@clousems smoking cigarette is banned in public places....the smokers are supposed to do it lonely where no one is lingering...just the implementation is weak, extremely weak....
