Introduction In depth, this paper illustrates the issue that is based on banning smoking and this is possible since smoking bans is not as new as some people may think. Going back to 1941, the Nazi president passed a law that bans smoking in buildings that belong to the government such as hospitals and schools. Moreover, it is showed that the United States finally followed all those countries by banning smoking officially in the federal buildings in 1997 through the influence of President Bill Clinton (Blanpain 58). As a result, the essay analyzes the measures which have been taken on the issue of banning smoke in Florida international university. Banning smoking at Florida Campus The document indicates that in 2010, Florida International University issued a law that prohibited any smoking activity in the campus. Smoking, in fact, was not only prohibited in the campus, but also in the cars. At first, when I read the news about banning smoking in all Florida universities, I was almost sure that no one would disagree with that law. However, it appears that some people disagree with the law not because they are smokers, but because they think it is their right to do whatever they wanted to do (Warner 96). Actually, I have never read an official article that disagrees with smoking bans. Lambert’s thought on smoke banning I did my research on Google and on Florida International University’s online library; I was trying to find a subject that is related to smoking bans. After I did my personal research on that particular subject, I found several articles and newspaper reports that were actually against smoking bans. But, what caught my attention from the news reports and the articles was the topic on “The Case against Smoking Bans” written by Author Thomas A. Lambert. The author actually presents some statistics against smoking law (Warner 57). He argued that by banning smoking, people would lose their freedom when it comes to choosing what to do and what not to do. In addition to the freedom of people’s rights, Lambert said that there are people who believe that smokers will lessen government expenses in the health system compared to the non-smokers (Blanpain 75). Lastly, Lambert claims that banning smoking will encourage young people to smoke because they will think it is great. Even though Lambert’s article contains detailed information concerning dangers of smoking, he still has reservations that students will still smoke despite the ban. Additional information is yet to be analyzed so as to enable people understand what he wants them to focus on when it comes to banning smoking in the public. In his article, Lambert has not only missed some facts, but also he does not have the logic to clearly analyze his claim. Although I agree with some of the points that the author states about the rights of the people concerning “what they want to do and when to do it,” I disagree with the author on giving the people the right to hurt people. Anything that hurts other people is not a right, and most people should be against it. Smoking in public places can affect not only adult’s health, but also children’s health (Warner 106). In fact, I have always believed that smoking should be considered as dangerous as guns or other weapons that harm people. Preventive measures The document
