How do I format a pro smoking ban persuasive essay?
I'm writing a persuasive essay on the issue of a smoking ban (pro). It has to be a 5 paragraph essay with three body paragraphs each containing a different reason or main point supporting the thesis. I'm not sure what my different body paragraph ideas should be...
I want to focus on the dangers of second hand smoke and how a smoking ban is shown to decrease levels of nicotine in the air, and incorporate my research into the essay.
Help?

Research, research, research. Formulate a thesis from the research, then divide your essay into two parts: First part should be two paragraphs devoted to why second hand smoke is bad. Second part should be two paragraphs devoted to why banning smoking is good.
Last paragraph should be a restating of your thesis and a declaration of your conclusions.
Try to keep to parallel construction, i.e., after writing about the bad things, show point by point why smoking is bad and should be banned.
Caution: Be certain to include a discussion of why segregating smokers is not good enough.
I hope this helps.
