珍惜时间学好英语英文话剧（英语学习CigaretteSmoking）

People’s views vary on the issue of whether tobacco should be banned or not. Some people would argue that smoking is a personal choice. However, I personally believe that tobacco should be made illegal. There are two reasons for this.

人们对是否应该禁止烟草的看法有所不同。有些人会认为吸烟是一种个人的选择。然而，我个人认为烟草应该是非法的。有两个原因：

Firstly, tobacco is a drug. Most countries around the world take a prohibitionist approach to the problem of drug abuse. If governments wish to be consistent in pursuing their “war on drugs”, therefore, I believe they must ban tobacco as well.

首先，烟草是一种毒品。世界上大多数国家对毒品的问题都采取了禁止的方法。因此，如果各国政府希望坚持进行“禁毒战争”，我认为他们也必须禁止烟草。

Further and even more importantly, though, smoking should be banned for the sake of public health. It is irrefutable that smoking causes serious illnesses, such as lung cancer and heart disease. Although pro-smoking group would no doubt argue that people have the right to determine what goes into their bodies, I would suggest the rights of society at large must override those of the individual. The medical treatment smokers need is often incredibly costly, and it is usually governments and society that pay the bill. Hence, I feel that anti-smoking law would be entirely justified.

此外，更重要的是，为了公众健康，应该禁止吸烟。无可辩驳的是，吸烟会导致严重的疾病，如肺癌和心脏病。尽管支持吸烟的团体无疑会认为人们有权决定什么进入他们的身体，但我建议整个社会的权利必须驾于个人的权利之上。吸烟者所需要的医疗费用往往非常昂贵，而且通常是政府和社会买单。因此，我认为反吸烟法将是完全合理的。

In reality, of course, governments will probably not ban tobacco in the near future. However, given the seriousness of the problems that it causes, I believe that this should be the ultimate goal.

当然，事实上政府可能不会在不久的将来禁止烟草。然而，鉴于它所造成的问题的严重性，我认为这应该是最终的目标。
