Smoking in public places?

My father is a smoker. So is my grandfather. I never stop suggesting them quitting it, but the efforts are useless. I believe most of the people have smokers around, or even hold the habit themselves, so smoking problems always arouse wide concern. Recently, since the overwhelming threatening to health, smoking is proposed to be banned in public places throughout the country. Some people argue that this ban cannot actually improve the smoking situation. Since it is only banned in public places, people can still somehow find other places to smoke, which proves that there’s no use in stop people from smoking. Moreover, they also think the ban is a violation to human rights, for some extremely smokers will become bad-tempered, uncomfortable and even neurosis without cigarettes or cigars.

It is true that the ban may not reduce the number of smokers immediately, but it doesn't necessarily mean that we don't need this prohibition at all. In contrast, it reflects the authority's attitude and determination towards smoking to some degree. With this ban, smoking will be restricted step by step. As for the point about human rights, smokers shouldn't enjoy their so-called rights by sacrificing others’ health. According to researches, smoking is even more harmful to those second-hand smokers, so it surely violate others’ interests if smoking is allowed in public places.

In my opinion, smoking SHOULD BE BANNED in public places.

Firstly, recent survey data shows that there are 24.2% Chinese smokers, which make up one third of the smokers in the world, so the effort in keeping people away from smoking should never stop in our country. In this case, the ban can be regarded as an advocation of no-smoking, a restriction for the do-as-I-want smokers, as well as a protection for the public people. It is a win-win proposal in the long run.

What’s more, smoking areas, in other words, specific places for smokers, are always available in most of the public places. For instance, special smoking compartments are set in trains, and they are even more common in modern restaurants and plazas. This allows smokers to smoke in special places, therefore, gives them a buffer to adapt this ban.

All in all, although it seems not so easy to accept the ban all of a sudden, especially for many

smokers, as the sentence written on every cigarette box goes, ‘smoking is bad for health, so for you and your family’s sake, quit it.’ That’s exactly what I want to say to may father as well as my grandfather. I know it’s much harder to actually do it than just say it, but I still hold the belief that the ban will be widely understood and accepted very soon.

 

第二篇：范文 优秀议论文

英雄何需磨剑锋，手握实力势自强

怯牛磨角，徒有几分寒光；雄狮不语，却有利爪称王。 若是真英雄，何需一剑青锋壮声势？实力，才是直刺敌人咽喉的杀招。

真绝色向来不是徒有其表。

西施浣纱的风姿仿佛还在清水碧波间荡漾，越王勾践的三千越甲却早已穿透了吴国的霞光；貂蝉袖舞的妖娆似乎犹在三国烟沙中飘摇，吕布手中的凛然长枪却早将董卓的时代掀倒；昭君长歌的婉约仿佛还在重重宫阙里回响，匈奴出征的号角却已被送嫁的红妆逼退。美人绝色，绝不止是一副倾倒众生的皮囊。那一寸温柔的眼波里是无人能匹敌的勇气与胆量，那每一寸柔弱的肩膀撑起的是家国天下，是民族的荣光。谁曾想哪幽居深宫的妇人能一统河山，成就上接贞观、下启开元的一代盛世？武则天的容颜也许已在历史长河中逐渐枯萎，但她英勇的豪情与智慧却与世长存。

真才子绝非华而不实。

司马相如的《长门赋》从汉朝大殿直唱到如今，那华美的辞藻却只不过是司马相如才华的一角。韩愈“文起八代之衰”的文字从盛唐流淌到如今，那锦绣的华童掩不住他倡导古文运动的贡献，谁说才子只会写华而不实的文章？他们从中积淀的是千百年的文人风骨，他们眼中追求的是国泰民安、壮哉中华。范仲淹弃文从军，几十年沙场的风霜苦雨淋不透他勇气装点的铠甲，浇不灭他为国建功立业的壮志豪情。杜甫仕途屡受挫折坎坷，“百年多病独登台”的苦闷抹不去他心头那忧国忧民的惦念，泯不了他振臂一呼写下“天下寒士俱欢颜”的宽大胸怀。矫饰堆砌的辞藻或许会在滚滚红尘里腐蚀成灰，但一代才子的不屈傲骨与征战杀伐的胆量则承载了千年的荣耀。

真英雄从来不会虚张声势。

就如同拥有利爪尖牙的雄狮不会炫耀自己，真正的英雄又何需磨一柄寒光闪闪的宝剑来壮声势、假虎威呢？

几十年前，朝鲜战争中那硝烟弥漫、血流成河的战场上，我英勇的志愿军战士在武器落后、弹药补给困难、运输主要靠骡马和人力的情况下，却击退了拥有飞机、坦克的美军，帮助了朝鲜赢得了胜利，也守住了中国的一道屏障。曾经剑光凛冽的武器可能会在时间的淘洗下生锈，但真英雄的白骨却不会被尘埃掩盖。

美人绝色，不如担一肩家国天下；才子风流，不如书一世功业宏大；英雄在世，何需磨剑仗青锋？手握实力，我自血战昆仑，苍龙入海去换海清河宴！

说“安”

古人造字，喻形寓意。何为“安”也？室中有女即为“安”。

女子，柔软如水的人儿，在古时，地位是如此的卑微，终日闭户不出，端坐家中，或织布纺纱，或挑水浆衣，有女子在家，室中平安。女子，也应为一家之顶梁。

可这世上又有多少流言诋毁女子！什么“红颜祸水”，什么“唯女子和小人难养也”，似乎所有的罪恶安在女子身上是那么合情合理。

纣王好色淫乱，民不聊生，但为何总说妲己是祸国的元凶？

唐玄宗的沉沦迷醉似乎扯到杨玉环的痴缠而变得更加容易被宽恕，那又何须吟上一首《长恨歌》来歌颂其天长地久？吴三桂的“冲冠一怒为红颜”使他的情圣身份抵过“乱臣贼子”，但为什么陈圆圆变成了“祸水”而遭人鄙弃？林觉民的壮烈来自对妻子的薄幸，一纸《与妻书》成就了他一生的辉煌，千古的美名，可谁又曾想到那可怜的如花娇妻凄苦迷离的下半生呢？

女子使国不安？女子使家不宁？

那么是谁“一去紫台连朔漠，独留青冢向黄昏”？放弃了绿柳夹河而列，长风携云朵翩跹而来，窈窕而去的长安，甘愿远赴黄沙大漠，经受亘古不变的猎风与沙石吹打，而换取和平免受战火？是王嫱，那个名唤昭君的绝美女子，她为大汉朝撑起半片安定、安康、安宁的天空。

那么是谁“回眸一笑百媚生”放弃了名声和深爱的人，远赴吴国，为自己国家的复兴奉献了一切？那个“沉鱼”的浣纱女使得百姓能安居乐业，使得国家能安定团结。

那么又是谁“无字碑头字皆满”，功过留于后人评？是中国历史上唯一的女皇帝！她兴科举、用贤能，治国严谨，兴修水利，广开言路，打造了一派盛世安平的景象。

由明妃到武皇，女子亦能独撑起一片天空，女子亦是平安幸福的象征。

室中有女便为安，有女子的家才真正像个家，有女子的家便是个安定的家，安详的家，安逸的家，安然的家。
