Pronunciation: [ˌantɪsmˈə͡ʊkə] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of the word "antismoker" is with a hyphen in the middle, as "anti-smoker". In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be written as /ˌæntiˈsmoʊkər/. This spelling reflects the two separate words that make up the compound: "anti", meaning against, and "smoker", a person who smokes cigarettes or other tobacco products. The hyphen helps to clarify the meaning of the word and avoid confusion or misinterpretation.
Antismoker
Noun
The term "antismoker" refers to an individual who actively opposes or campaigns against smoking or smokers. An antismoker is typically characterized by their strong disapproval and negative attitude towards smoking and the associated behaviors and social implications.
An antismoker is often motivated by concerns about the health risks involved with smoking, both for smokers themselves and for those around them through secondhand smoke. They may view smoking as a harmful habit that should be eradicated or strictly regulated in public spaces, workplaces, or other shared environments.
Antismokers can be involved in various activities aimed at reducing smoking rates, such as advocating for stricter smoking policies, educating the public about the dangers of smoking, or supporting initiatives to promote smoking cessation. They may participate in public health campaigns, lobby for tobacco control legislation, or engage in public discourse to challenge the social acceptance of smoking.
However, it is important to note that not all individuals who object to smoking or smokers can be classified as antismokers. The term typically refers to those who actively engage in anti-smoking efforts or who hold particularly strong and outspoken views against smoking.
Overall, an antismoker is an individual who actively opposes smoking and dedicates themselves to raising awareness about its negative effects on health and society while advocating for measures to reduce its prevalence.
The word "antismoker" is derived from the combination of two words: "anti" and "smoker".
- "Anti" is a prefix that comes from the Greek word "anti" meaning "against" or "opposite". It is used to indicate opposition or hostility towards something.
- "Smoker" refers to a person who smokes tobacco or other substances.
So, when these two words are combined, "antismoker" refers to someone who is against or opposes smoking, typically used to describe individuals or organizations that advocate for tobacco control or work towards reducing smoking rates in society.
