　　Part I Writing

　　One possible version:

　　No Smoking in Public Places

　　Some smokers still breathe out cigarette smoke in public places, although it is not allowed in these areas. A few of them even regard smoking as their own freedom and right.

　　It has been confirmed by many international medical research institutes that smoking is dangerous. For one thing, smoking can have harmful effects on humans’ health. Smoking has been linked to an endless list of serious health problems such as lung cancer, heart disease and so on. For another, by smoking in public places the smoker is forcing everyone in the vicinity to smoke too. For years, a lot of non-smokers have had to endure the unpleasant experience of inhaling stale cigarette smoke, especially those who work in public places, such as bars or restaurants.

　　Several measures should be adopted to stop smoking in public places. First, laws should be made in detail and those who break the laws should be severely punished; second, society should create an atmosphere where no smoking is the social norm. For this to be successful, overwhelming public support is necessary.
