In today's world, there is an increasing amount of smokers in every corners of the world. Since the smoke that comes out of the cigarettes has scientifically brought various negative outcomes to human, many governments have prohibited people to smoke in public areas despite having to face some fierce protests. Personally, I totally agree with those decisions and this essay will highlight my opinion as follows.

First of all, nonsmokers' health are negatively affected by a process called passive smoking. In fact, it is a scientifically proven fact that passive smokers are prone to have worse health condition than smokers. As they inhale more smoke than that of the smokers, the hazards of being exposed to disorders are higher . Furthermore, the unborn children of women who are pregnant may have counter-intuitively deep-seated disfigurements in their body and brain even worse while their mothers inhale tobacco smoke. In other words, smoking in public areas has severe impact on human's health.

Smoking not only puts the physical body of human into significant risk but also wrongly influences the next generations in morality side . Although the consequences of smoking have adverse effects on human's health condition, many youngsters are induced that smoking helps them fulfilling a better image towards their acquaintance while seeing other people smoke. In order to achieve the mentioned purpose , they take smoking as a habit and thus all the efforts of educating the damages of smoking to human are collapsed.

In conclusion, smoking produces negative health effects to passive smokers as well as misleads the youth's morality. Only by banning smokers from smoking in public will those problems be ameliorated.(273 words)

To get the maximum base score potential in a task 2 test, the writer must refrain from immediately discussing the topic in the prompt + personal opinion paragraph. This paragraph must be between 2 -5 sentences that only does the following:

- Restate the original topic through the writers understanding / basic interpretation. English comprehension skills are tested in this section.
- Deliver a reasoning based personal opinion. The personal opinion should state the discussion topics for extended discussion in the body paragraphs. It should be an integrated statement that omits an actual discussion.

The writer presents valid reasons in every paragraph. It proves he understands the topic. The problem is that there are no strong discussion points to support the evidence. He should focus less on the number of reasons and more on the smooth reasoning connections to improve the cohesiveness of the presentation. Doing so will strongly prove the coherence of the discussion and increase his scores. Develop the paragraphs properly. Do not omit connecting the reasons in the paragraphs through transition phrases and sentences. Do not rely only on transition words as these do not always provide additional discussion clarity because these are only memorized words taught in ESL and IELTS class. It does not help prove academic writing proficiency at all times.
