These days, the dangers of smoking and second-hand smoke are commonplace in the news and health related information. While smokers maintain that it is their personal choice and right to smoke, others state

14、 they need to look at the bigger picture. In the drawing, a man was smoking in the waiting room of the train station. The smoke was so choking that the old man and the boy sitting next to him were coughing. The young man standing before him was also disturbed, appearing disgusted with this extremly

15、impolite behavior. In my opinion, smoking should be banned in public places and office buildings because of the dangers of second-hand smoke and the overall cleanliness of these places. First, second-hand smoke is dangerous to both smokers and non-smokers. Scientific research has shown that smoking

16、increases the risk of cancer and other associated diseases. However, second-hand smoke is in fact even more dangerous than smoking.

20、buildings to ensure optimal employee performance. In conclusion, while smokers have the right to smoke, they do not have the right to endanger others. Smoking in public areas and office buildings should be banned because of the dangers of second-hand smoke and the mess associated with smoking areas.

People definitely have their living conditions improved by wider and wider margins, as evidenced by the four childrens decent dressing, but their moral sense still remains sadly unchanged or in some cases becomes dramatically downgrading. Most people might have

25、become too much self-centered, and even worse, they discard the tradition of giving respect to the elderly. They no longer care for their elders, let alone their neighbors or the disadvantaged; instead they try every means to avoid responsibility for other citizens. When one cares for others, one mi

26、ght even appear stupid or may even be distrusted. Therefore, we have to take some useful measures to avoid the scene that is mentioned above. We must launch a variety of campaigns about the return to the good tradition of giving help and love to the elderly. Moreover, we must appeal to our governmen

27、t to establish some relevant laws to punish those who avoid their duties.
