Thesis

Smoking in restaurants is not ok. It must not be
allowed because it is rude, harmful to others and dangerous not only for the non smokers but the
smokers as well.

Argument

Firstly, smoking in a restaurant is impolite. The smell of the smoke affects all people and can turn them off their food. People pay to taste good food and should not be put off by foul smelling smoke.

Argument

Another reason smoking should not be allowed in
restaurants is the harm it can do to others. Passive
smoking, that is breathing in smoke made by a
smoker, can lead to asthma attacks and even cancer. Finally, smoking is dangerous and a health
risk to smokers. Cigarettes can cause heart and lung disease.

Recommendation

Therefore, smoking in restaurants is impolite,
harmful to others and a health risk to everyone. It is better if smoking is not allowed in any restaurants.
