Creator, José J. González STCC Spring For years there has been a huge debate about smoking. Do you think that smoking should be banned? Some people have formed groups to ban smoking while others suggest that smoking should be a personal choice. I think that smoking should be banned because it is not healthy; it pollutes our environment and it drains us of our energy.
