Purpose of an Exposition

Text forms of Exposition

Smoking in restaurants is just not on. It must not be allowed because it is rude, harmful to others and dangerous to the smoker.

Firstly, smoking in a restaurant is impolite. The smell of the smoke affects all people and can turn them off their food. People pay to taste good food and not to be put off by foul smelling smoke.

Another reason smoking should not be allowed in restaurants is the harm it can do to others. Passive smoking, that is, breathing in smoke made by a smoker, can lead to asthma attacks and even cancer.

Finally, smoking is dangerous and a health risk to the smoker. Cigarettes cause health and lung disease and people should not smoke anywhere, not just in restaurants.

Therefore, smoking in restaurants is impolite, harmful to others and a health risk to the smoker and should not be allowed in any restaurant.
