[EXAMPLE]Example

Many walk in parks, practise gentle exercise or join community groups in the morning.

Do you think that the tobacco companies should be held reasonably responsible for a person's addiction to nicotine?

[POINT]Point

Tobacco companies should be held accountable to some extent because they sell an addictive product and influence demand through marketing.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Nicotine addiction can reduce consumer choice once dependence develops, so companies have a responsibility to provide clear warnings and avoid misleading promotion.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Advertising aimed at young people would be especially problematic because they may underestimate long-term risks.

[EXTEND]Extend

Individuals still make choices, but corporate responsibility is reasonable when marketing practices contribute directly to harmful behaviour.

Should smoking in restaurants be banned?

[POINT]Point

Yes, smoking in restaurants should be banned because other customers and staff should not be forced to breathe second-hand smoke.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A smoke-free policy protects public health and improves indoor air quality without stopping adults from smoking elsewhere where it is permitted.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Restaurant workers may spend many hours indoors, so repeated exposure is more serious than a brief encounter.

[EXTEND]Extend

The restriction is reasonable because one person's choice should not create an avoidable health risk for everyone nearby.
