that smoking should be banned insida the campus?
Should Smoking be Banned in public place?
It has become fashionable in the world today to condemn smoking. However, although I feel that smoking can be harmful, I do not think it should be banned completely.
Let me deal first with the positive side of smoking. First, smoking undoubtedly helps many people to relax. For some, it even improves concentration. Many people like to smoke before exams or when they are relaxing with friends.
A further point is that governments throughout the world make huge profits from levying taxes on cigarettes. This provides funds which are used for building schools, hospitals and other public amenities.
The tobacco industry also employs tens of thousands of people throughout the world, particularly in poorer countries like Zimbabwe or India. Without cigarettes, these people would have no jobs.
I would also argue that people should have the right to choose whether they smoke or not. People should not smoke in a room where there are non-smokers but surely they should be free to smoke elsewhere.
The arguments against smoking are well known. Smoking has been shown to be dangerous to health. Heart disease, bronchitis and lung cancer have all been linked.
A further issue is that smoking costs governments millions of pounds because of the large number of people who need treatment in hospitals for smoking related problems.
There is also concern today about passive smoking. Recent research has shown that non-smokers can suffer health problems if they spend long periods of time among people who do smoke.
In general, I think the world would be a better place without cigarettes. However, the decision as to whether to smoke or not should be for each individual to make.

The 5-Minute Interview: Allen Carr, Anti-smoking guru
'Since I stopped smoking I have been the happiest man in the world'
Published: 17 November 2006
Allen Carr, 73, is the author of numerous books on how to quit smoking. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in July this year.
If I weren't talking to you right now I'd be...
Putting the finishing touches to my last book Scandal. I intend to use it to encourage the media to investigate the reasons for the government, apparently under the influence of the pharmaceutical industry, ignoring it for more than 20 years in favour of the ludicrous use of nicotine patches and gum. My organisation appears to be the only one questioning the lunacy of trying to cure nicotine addicts by giving them nicotine!
A phrase I use far too often is...
"This is my last book." I've said it many times - but I am constantly under pressure from those who have used my method to stop smoking to apply it to other problems.
I wish people would take more notice of...
Me! I have been delivering a cure for smoking for more than 20 years - the medical establishment hasn't shown any interest. A strange reaction given that by 2020 more than 10 million people a year will die because of smoking.
The most surprising thing that happened to me was...
Meeting my wife, Joyce. It was like the old Nat King Cole song with the verse that goes: "I was walking along minding my own business, when out of an orange coloured sky - Crash! Bang! Alacazam! wonderful you came by."
A common misperception of me is...
That I am an American. I was born and raised in the, then, working-class area of Putney, London. I've never lived in the US but for some reason people assume that I am American. I am English and proud of it.
I am not a politician but...
When I look around at our annual international conference for our clinic managers and therapists and see 30 or more nationalities represented, with everyoneenjoying each other's company, interacting together with a common goal, I find it hard to understand how the world can be in such a mess.
I'm good at...
Lawn bowls.
I'm very bad at...
Nothing - except modesty.
The ideal night out is...
Joyce, some friends, a restaurant. The food doesn't even need to be good - just the company.
In moments of weakness I...
Allow Joyce to drag me to the shops.
You know me as a writer/stop-smoking guru but in truer life I'd have been a...
Chartered accountant. I hated it - but I think my analytical mind and accountancy training helped me to discover my Easyway method.
The best age to be is...
73. Even with terminal lung cancer I can honestly say that since I stopped smoking 23 years ago I have been the happiest man in the world.
In a nutshell, my philosophy is this:
I'll leave that to philosophers - my "in a nutshell" objective is To Cure the World of Smoking.
