Effects Of Smoking Smoking in Public Places The new laws that ban smoking in public places such as bars and restaurants, is a smart move by the state. We all know that smoking is detrimental to an individual’s health by polluting one’s lungs, yellowing teeth, and causing bad breath. It is a very expensive habit since prices for cigarettes go up every year and more and more people can not afford them. Smoking not only is harmful to an individual, the smoke from a cigarette directly affects the people around the smoker, otherwise known as second-hand smoke. Many smokers think that health problems from smoking will not happen to them and start well into childhood and that they can easily quit before that time. However, a huge percent of smokers have trouble quitting their habit of smoking and suffer from unalterable health effects. ( Egendorf 83). One of the main tribulations due to smoking is that it damages the lungs. It irritates and damages the respiratory tract.
