Provisional proposition - Na- Right of Non-smokers

Provisional proposition - Na (Right of Non-smokers) 

In the academic writing exercise that is part 5 of chapter 7 of Quest, "Medicine and Drugs: Addictive Substances," Pamela Hartmann asks us to answer one of the questions on pages 224 and 227 (2007).  

• I have chosen to answer the question:  
   Should the government be involved in the campaign to stop people from smoking? 

________________________________________________

• My provisional proposition is: 
  Non-smokers must be protected by the government. 

Briefly, I think this is one effective solution (there might be others) because:

• Smoking causes lung cancer and many other harmful diseases. There is a proven research that the 2nd hand smoker is heavily affected than the actual smokers. 
• It's a responsibility of the government to provide a harm free environment for non-smokers because they do not consciously making a harmful choice (smoking). 
• Part of the tax will be used to provide health care for the smokers which is not fair to the non-smokers which are more in numbers.
