Expanding smoke-free zones in Korea is a very important issue. I hope the smoke-free zones will be expanded. I think there are several benefits to expanding smoke-free zones, especially for nonsmokers. It is true that lots of nonsmokers are easily damaged by smokers in places like restaurants that don’t have smoking areas. A cigarette has many harmful materials. Most of them are able to cause cancer. Not every smoker, but some of them don’t have good manners. There are some people who smoke out of appointed places.
