Since the Spanish government passed the law that prohibits smoking in public areas like bars, restaurants and some other places, there are many criticisms and complaints about the issue, nevertheless, many people are also in favour of the law.
Some consumers say that it should be a personal choice and business owners are really affected by the law. But in my opinion, there is something more important than economic losses and personal pleasure, it is the right of non-smokers, for instance, babies, children, pregnant woman, older people…
The OMS says that peoples who live with a smoker have a 35 times higher risk of suffering lung cancer than those who do not. And do you know that 42 per cent of children with chronic respiratory disease are caused by tobacco fumes? So I think that even though this ban could be too tough and difficult to obey, it is absolutely necessary and fair, since in my view, people who smoke are not only killing themselves, but also killing others.
To conclude, I want to tell all smokers, please think about their sons, daughters, parents, husband, wives, friends and everyone who loves you and live with you, stop killing them!
