Provisional proposition - Ning (public service advertising for not smoking )

Provisional proposition - Ning (public service advertising for not smoking ) 

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:  What can be done to persuade children not begin smoking?

• My provisional proposition is:  The government should make all kinds of public service advertising to prevent children from smoking.

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

• It will make teenagers know exactly the dangers of smoking through all kinds of advertising on TV or on the wall in school: smoking can cause breath and mouth problems, increase the risk of cancer, waste money, pollute the health of others around you, reduce the sense of smell and taste, and so on.
•  Only the government has the power and money to make such public service advertising.
•  It will be good for both the health of new generation and the future of the country.
• It will help people pay attention to the healthy way of life.
• It will reduce the smoking rate and cancer rate as well as other illness caused by smoking.  
• It will encourage the parents to keep their children away from smoking.
