Should cigarette smoking be banned?

I think cigarette smoking should be banned. Although I dont think many would follow it or agree, I think it should.
1.Smoking is a bad habit and can cause serious health problems. It is not beneficial to our bodies what so ever so whats the point of having it? People say its important because it relaxes them or calms there nerves. There are plenty of alternatives.
2. People that smoke aren't only affecting their own bodies, but everyone around them. If we ban cigarette smoking then we can be healthier human beings, and for one lower the amount of people that get cancer. Many people get various types of cancer from smoking especially lung cancer. By banning smoking, we can lower our chances of getting these diseases. Also, we can lower asthma attacks and Pneumonia.
3.By banning cigarette smoking, we can help get a cleaner environment! Have you ever walked down a street and seen cigarette butts everywhere? I know I have and its disgusting. Some people dont dispose of their cigarettes when their finished and they are left on the floor to collect and create trash that is bad for our earth. Think about how much cleaner places will be. If we ban smoking we wont have to pay for cleaning and the places we visit everyday will look twenty times nicer than before.
4. This point may sound weird but by banning cigarette smoking, our society will be better. There are people that smoke at very young ages and it influences young kids to do the same. People get into smoking and it leads to other things and problems. So by banning smoking we can clean up our society too.
