Help with a debate!!!

Question

my topic is : smoking should be banned. but i am working on the negative side, so...now heres the question i need help with...why should smoking NOT be banned?

facts please

Answer 1

try doing the positive side...for the positive side -

There is little doubt that smoking tobacco is

extremely harmful to the smoker's health. In the

US, for example, research by the American Cancer

Society suggests that tobacco causes up to 400,000

deaths each year - more than AIDS, alcohol, drug

abuse, car crashes, murders, suicides, and fires

combined. World-wide some 3 million people die

from smoking each year - one every ten seconds -

which estimates suggest will rise to 10 million by

2020. Smokers are up to 22 times more likely to

develop lung cancer than non-smokers, and smoking

can lead to a host of other health problems,

including emphysema and heart disease.One of the

main responsibilities of any government is to

ensure the safety of its population; that is why

taking hard drugs and breaking the speed limit are

also illegal. It would therefore be reasonable to

ban smoking - an activity which kills millions of

people each year.

Answer 2

Freedom of choice!

Tax Revenue!

Farmers and factories = jobs!

Answer 3

First of all you should only dbate about a topic you feel strongly about because if you don't then you won't do very well.

So here are some few reasons:

It's THERE choice, nobody can decide what you do

All the money that people use to buy cigarettes it goes to the government. I'm not just talking about taxes, I'm talking about all of the money.  With that money the government uses it to make roads, bulidings etc.

ITS A FREE WORLD (rofl xD I suggest you don't add that in unless your classmates & teacher have a funny sense of humour)

Hope I Helped!
