Should the full smoking ban be delayed?

We all know that smoking harms our health. It affects not only smokers but people near them through secondary smoke.

Smokers are always claiming that they have the right to light up, but non-smokers also have the right to breathe fresh air.

I think the ban on smoking in bars should not be delayed. The authorities must show their determination to the public.

If the smoking ban is delayed this time, I fear there is a strong possibility that there will be a second and even a third delay.

The authorities should not allow any delay, because the sooner the total ban on smoking is implemented, the better it will be for the health of Hong Kong residents.

Bar owners should bear in mind that the ban will only adversely affect their businesses in the short term.
