雅思大作文：公共场所禁烟的做法公平吗

In many countries it is now illegal to *oke in public places. It is only fair that people who wish to *oke should have to leave the building.

Do you agree or disagree?

The issue of *oking and *oking bans is an emotive one because *okers and non-*okers both tend to hold strong views about their rights. Many countries have now chosen to ban *oking altogether from indoor areas and public places, which is a radical change from the way things used to be until quite recently.

吸烟和禁烟的问题是一个情绪化的问题，因为吸烟者和不吸烟者都倾向于对自己的权利持有强烈的看法。许多国家现在选择在室内和公共场所完全禁止吸烟，这是一种彻底的改变，从过去到现在都是如此。

Non-*okers have been complaining for years that they should not have to breathe in other people’s *oke in places such as the workplace, restaurants and cafes and on buses, trains and planes. It is hard to argue that non-*okers do not have a right to be protected from this. Smoking also causes problems for the owners and workers in such places who have to clean up after *okers or redecorate more often.

多年来，不吸烟的人一直在抱怨，他们不应该在工作场所、餐馆和咖啡馆、公共汽车、火车和飞机上吸别人的烟。很难说不吸烟的人没有权利受到保护。吸烟也会给这些地方的业主和工人带来问题，他们需要在吸烟者戒烟后或更频繁地重新装修。

Generally speaking, therefore, I am in favour of *oke-free workplaces, transport and buildings. Non-*okers should not have other people’s *oke imposed on them. We have to accept, however, that there are a large number of people who *oke and will continue to *oke. Many of them enjoy the company of other *okers and feel it is unfair that they should always be made to stand in doorways when they want to *oke.

因此，总的来说，我赞成在工作场所、交通工具和建筑物内禁烟。不吸烟的人不应该让别人吸烟。然而，我们不得不承认，有很多人吸烟，而且还会继续吸烟。他们中的许多人喜欢和其他吸烟者在一起，他们觉得当他们想吸烟的时候总是被强迫站在门口是不公平的。

In a consumer age that seems to put choice above everything else, shouldn’t they have the right to meet and socialise with other *okers if they want to? A more balanced policy than the one now in place in many countries would be to allow certain cafes and restaurants to apply for a *oking licence. These places would then have to advertise themselves as *oking places. Certain areas of buildings such as workplaces could also be made into *oking rooms or areas but only if the company wished to. Such measures would still give the majority their *oke-free environment but protect the wishes of the minority that *oke.

在一个似乎把选择置于一切之上的消费时代，如果他们愿意，难道他们就没有权利与其他吸烟者见面和交往吗?与许多国家现在实行的政策相比，更平衡的政策是允许某些咖啡馆和餐馆申请吸烟许可证。然后，这些地方将不得不宣传自己是吸烟区。建筑物的某些区域，如工作场所，也可以改造成吸烟室或吸烟区，但只有在公司愿意的情况下才可以。这些措施仍将使大多数人拥有无烟环境，但保护少数吸烟者的愿望。
