Themes : Smoking Should be Banned

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pro 1 : I think cigarettes should be banned because there is nothing good that comes out of it. It causes pollution, it irritates people that have chronic disease, therefore smoking should be banned

Kontra 1 : well yes smoking irritates people around but ciggarete has benefits it self for the people who smokes it such as stress relievers, stimulant to imagination, helping the country's economy, and so on.

Pro 2 : I disagree with kontra 1 because Smoking is expensive – not just for smokers themselves, but for the general public as well. It is estimated that the treatment of smoking-related diseases, productivity losses to Indonesia economy and premature mortality amount to trillion losses in one year. By reducing the number of active and passive smokers, smoking bans could thus save Indonesian healthcare systems a lot of money. Therefore smokers shouldn't arbitrarily smoke without paying attention to other people around them, they should look for a smoking area or something.

Kontra 2 : then banning ciggerates is unnecessary, goverment should have just built more public smoking area or raise the price of cigar rather than banning it.
