Should students be required to wear uniforms to school?

I strongly agree with the point that students should wear school uniforms. Wearing school uniforms give less financial burden to both students and their parents, since they only have to buy the uniform for just one time for wearing more than 3 years. On the other hand, just wearing normal clothes will give stress to students because they think they should wear lots of various clotes everyday. It'll cost a lot, which might be a tremendous financial burden to them.

Should smoking be banned in public places?

I strongly agree that the smoking should be banned in public places such as restaurants, shopping centers, public transportation, schools, and daycare centers.

To begin with, since there are so many people crowded, smoking in public places might give fatal, negative effects to those people. According to American Cancer Society, more than 60 of chemical compounds contained in tobacco smoke causes cancer, which indicates that secondhand smoking will make people to get cancer.

In addition, smoking is dangerous to smokers themselves, too. Smoking causes smokers' blood vessels to be narrow so that blood doesn't circulate normally. Thus, smokers might get disease called 'peripheral vascular disease,' according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, through banning smoking in public places, smoking rates can be reduced. Bans in public places reduce general smoking rates through a combination of stigmatization and reduction in the social cues for smoking. Actually, smoking rates reduced a lot in UK, US, and Sweden through banning smoking in public places.

Should young children be banned from airplanes and resturants?

  I personally agree with the topic that young children should be banned from airplanes and restaurants. Passengers and Guests of airplanes and restaurants go there for traveling or eating, not for being annoyed by babies crying. They have paid a lot for their trip and meal, but they might be get angry for young children, not being happy instead of paying lots of money.
  As a solution to this problem is, to make special rooms or flight for young children and their parents. This will allow normal passengers and patrons to enjoy their flight and meal. Also, parents whose children is young don't have to be sorry to other passengers or guests.
