Should smoking be banned? Why or why not?
How do policies on smoking vary across different countries or regions?
Different countries have varying policies on smoking, such as banning smoking in public places, increasing taxes on tobacco products, and offering resources for quitting smoking. For example, in some parts of Europe, smoking rates are high, but there are also smoke-free laws and restrictions on advertising tobacco. In the United States, smoking is banned in many public indoor places and workplaces, and there are higher taxes on tobacco products than in other countries.
