Passive smoking

I think that smoking is very bad for peoples' health. It caused lots of problems in the previous decades when a much higher percentage of the poulation smoked. An issue that is very important to me is that of passive smoking. Many people it is said by health proffessionals have died of cancer because of other peoples' irresponsible and selfish behaviour. The most highlighted case, was that of former entertainer Roy Castle, who died tragically of cancer. It is believed that the reason why a non smoker like himself caught this horrible disease was down to the fact that when he was playing his trumpet in the clubs over the years in massively smoke filled rooms, he inhaled a serious amount of second hand smoke, and subsequently became ill years later.

Shoplifting

Shoplifting costs the country a over a billion pounds a year, and guess where the money to replace the money lost to the shops. Yes you guessed it, me and you. A big problem is that the stores put their dvds in the case on display, which is easy pickings for thieves. One big store always used to have the films behind the counter. When the customer bought the film the shop assistant would be handed the empty case and the shop assistant put the film in the case at the time of purchase. Many people who shop lift make a living out of it, selling on the goods they have stolen for a massive discount, much of this fuels drug habbits.

Prostitution

An argument about prostitution is that it exploits women. I believe this, but i also believes it exploits men. When men get hooked on paying out large sums of money, it degrades their lives too and makes sex cheap and without meaning. I think it is better to find someone with which you love and respect and too have a conventional relationship. However in many parts of the world women have no choice as they are forced into slavery and prostitution. This also happens in richer countries and ruins peoples lives, both men and women.
