1. Are you for or against smoking in public places?

I am  for  smoking in public places. However I can't stop smoking. I have tried many times to quit smoking. Because my wife hates the smell of cigarettes more than anything else.

But I am a typical complete nicotine addict. I'm sure I'm not a weak-willed person. But when it comes to cigarettes, my life depends on them.

Especially when I'm concentrating on my desk work, I'm surprised to see an incredible amount of cigarettes in the ashtray.  Please let me know if there is a better way.

This is  my thought that alcohol should be avoided during the growing period when all human organs are developing.

3. Are you for or against building more roads in your country?Japan has highways all over the country, but the usage fee is very expensive compared to other countries. For example, Tokyo and Osaka cost about $100. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain public roads where people can run freely.
