Conclusion:
not as was
in the past, Smoking is no longer free or a personal decision. This
is a difficult time for smokers, as people have become increasingly aware of
smoking, whether direct smoke or indirect smoke, has proved to be a threat to
small and large in all aspects of life in all countries. The voices of protest
against smoke and smokers in public places, in the workplace, in restaurants,
in places of residence or elsewhere, limit the personal freedom of the smoker,
since the harmful effect of smoke on others is no doubt at all.
