Smoking should banned in India or in world, it doesn't depend on its government, but it depends on the people of country, whether they want or not.
As in today's world, almost many persons are educated, so they well know about them, what is harmful/harmless for them.
It should be banned for persons below age of 18, because the person is not so mature below that age and doesn't know what is good for him.
Above the age of 18, he/she is so mature to know good /bad about his/her.
So its his personal choice whether he wants to smoke or not. |

My personal view is that "SMOKING should be completely banned in India if possible then whole world”. According to records Smoking is killing nearly a million people a year in India and rural area people are more in numbers than urban areas and reason for this is their ILLITERACY. For this only our government is spreading general awareness which is not enough because death rate by smoking is not decreasing however it is increasing year by year. We all must have read Mahakavi kalidas story that is “He was sitting on a branch of a tree, trying to saw it off. " That same thing is being done by smokers and our government because the smokers are harming themselves as well as people around them after knowing all the side effects of smoking and government for revenue and for high taxes letting us die their youths who are the future of India.
So according to me to reduce smoking government should take some steps that are 1). Try to ban it. 2) increase literacy rate in rural areas. 3) spread awareness. 4) and those who are already addicted for them arrange some doctors for free Counseling and medications to quit smoking. |

To ban completely a particular thing we first need to check out whether that thing is publicly harmful or not. Considering the fact that smoking the cigarette not only hampers the smoker but also his surroundings ban must be placed on it.
I appreciate the work taken by the government to place the slogans, charts (advertisements) depicting the harmful effects of smoking and passive smoking. Even after placing of lines like "smoking kills" or "tobacco kills" on cigarette packets why still the people smoke? and even after knowing this fact by govt why not a complete ban on it?
I think there are various reasons for it:1) cigarette packets are easily available in remote or urban areas at cheaper rate. 2) large amount of revenue generated from tobacco. 3) large amount of working force still on traditional job of making beddis (now cigarettes).
Completely banning the cigarette manufacturing (thus in directly smoking) would lead to job loss of various workers and loss of great revenue (for the govt) and also the fact that most of the smokers might resolve on taking something different for making their nerves calm (cigarette is mistakenly taken as stress buster by some of the young individuals).
Though there has been constant efforts by the govt to reduce the smoking (law passed for non showing of smoking scenes on TV or cinema, increase in age of cigarette smoking) would certainly reduce the smoking but a lot of general awareness is still required and an individual concern towards individual health and society wellness. |

| See, to smoke or not to smoke is a completely personal choice. If you do not smoke its well and good but if you do, make sure that your friends and coworkers are not falling a victim to passive smoking. Because it has its own side effects also. We can provide smokers with a smoking zone, but we can not force them to smoke there only. So, it should be a social responsibility and conscience to keep the side effects of smoking limited to themselves only. |

Smoking should and shouldn't be banned, there should be a law that you can only smoke on private property, you shouldn't be allowed to smoke in public because it is harmful to everyone around them, I am very anti smoke if I am in any area that people are smoking I have to leave because I fear of second hand smoke, the government should more action to protect the people.
Arguments that support banning cigarettes.
Smoking kills.
Less cancer due from smoking.
Save people money.
Prevent second hand smoke.
Will help a pregnant person have a healthier child.
Causes diseases.
Points against my argument.
People will go insane.
People will lose jobs.
They will go to more harmful drugs.
Will be more taxes.
People will get charged because they won't stop smoking.
People are smart enough to make their own choices there are warning on every pack of cigarettes saying how bad they are and they show a picture of the side effect. |

| If smoking is banned, then what happens to the cigarette companies? they will loose their jobs, obviously because they won't earn any money because nobody will buy it! If it is banned, it will become just like drugs anyway, like through the black market etc. It is a the person's decision. If they want to kill themselves then let them, we cannot baby feed them. |

NO, smokers smoke for heat and relief (army people, village people). It is up to an individual if he wants to smoke or not. Like wise even automobiles produce harmful gases which effect in masses, so even that should be banned. But all will say no for that.
BUT smoking should be banned in PUBLIC PLACES ! In his personal life it is up to the person as long as he is not troubling his neighbors with it ! |

| I don't think that banning on smoking will completely led to stop its usage, rather people should be encouraged not to go for the bad thing which may harm their health. One thing should be noted that govt is getting huge revenue from tobacco industries around 7200Cr the banning in this means burden on financial strength of our country. Even govt has no right to interfere the personal matter of the people, he can only increase the awareness against the smoking and its side-effects. Yet govt has so many policies like no-smoking zone, no smoking in public place, at the govt office etc. |

Hi everyone,
Yes smoking should completely banned. It is like a slow poison it kills the person slowly who consume it, it has many harmful effects not only for the person who is habitually of smoking but it will also affect the person who is around that person who is smoking, habit of smoking can cause cancer, heart attack, swelling of lungs etc. If pregnant women smoke she can increase the rate of low birth weight, premature baby etc. And it can also change the original color of your lips.
Government thinks that giving warning on cigarette packets can fulfill their duties but they never take any step to banned. Government should think of their people and about their health first instead of earning high revenues from this cigarette company and people should also understand that consequences of smoking can be very bad for themselves and also for their family, instead of wasting money on buying cigarette they should invest in some productive think.
Only banning of these harmful things will not going to help we all should understand our duties. |

| Smoking should be banned as its injurious to both the people the one who is smoking and the one standing near him. Many social awareness campaigns, notices, advertisements are made to educate people about its ill-effects but still people don't understand. Even warnings are given on the cigarette boxes but still people use it. Its individual's decision to whether give up smoking or not. But still government can do their bit by banning smoking. |

Smocking should be like totally banned well if smocking is only spoiling the smokers health then fine go on who's stopping you but it's also spoiling the health of those who breaths the smoke so that's why it SHOULD BE BANNED FOREVER. Why is it that innocent children, teenagers and adults has to be the one to be punished with cancer.

Yes, smoking should be banned completely. Because
1. It is harmful for health. I cause many diseases such as asthma, cancer and other dangerous respiratory diseases.
2. It harmful for the other people. It causes asthma in infants, adults, and old person.
3. A person uses tobacco because it is available to him/her. If we will ban it so he/she can not use it.
4. Now-a-days adults are using tobacco at early age. They are following a dangerous trend of using tobacco and other intoxication products.
So smoking should be banned completely. |

| Banning smoking completely is not a solution because their is ample awareness about the bad effect produced by smoking. Govt.needs money and it will in the form of taxes paid. We don't say that Govt. is not worried about the health of citizen's. Now, enough information is printed on cigratee box, one can easily read the warning. This is up to us only that are we concern our health or not. |

"smoking is injuries for health" even an uneducated person is aware of this very fact then also mass is indulge in smoking. govt of india will not banned cigarates as they get huge amount of taxes from such brands . and as we all know that taxes are used for benifit of nation. rather than saying smoking should be banned by govt we should take step to stop smoking at persnal level.
in my opinion banning smoking is not the solution of problem. because this will lead to unemployment of the people who works in industry where production of cigatate take place. |

I don't think banning smoking is a good idea as people are educated enough to know their good and bad even though if they are choosing to smoke its their personal choice and Govt can not force any decision on its people in a democratic country like India. Even if it will be banned people will search for another option to harm their health as well said necessity gives birth to all inventions and it is general tendency that humans are more attracted to the things which they can not get/reach easily. They will buy it anyway by paying some extra money to unauthorised dealers.
So, the understanding of quitting smoking should come from one's inside by it cannot be put forcefully on any one. |

| Smoking kills!!! I believe that smoking should be banned completely. Nicotine, the major constituent of tobacco is extremely injurious to health. Cigarette smokers inhale 60 mg of nicotine after smoking a pack of 20 cigarettes while passive smokers inhale 7 mg. It is highly carcinogenic and can be fatal. Even though warnings are present on the boxes, people do not understand their responsibility. So a bold step should be taken by the Government and smoking should be banned and its production should be controlled. |

| It is written on Cigratte packet itself that "Smoking is injurious to health".Today in India people are educate enough to read and understand English:D.But if the person still going for it then it means its his personal choice.Smoking does lead to number lung diseases which includes cancer also.It reduces a person's life expentency by 3 minutes.People who smoke are matured enough to know all these things.It means they are ready to put their life on risk.Government can make rules to ban smoking in public and under certain age.But it cant ban it completely. It is a person's choice whether to smoke or not.The determination of quitting smoking should come in that person's mind only.You cant force anybody to quit smoking. |

Smoking should be banned totally because.
A) Smoking is injurious to the health of smoker & also to the one who is around him.
B) Smoking also wastes lot of money.
C) small children's are also affected if someone smokes in front of them & they also learn to smoke.
So due to above reasons smoking should be banned. |

| Hi. I think smoking should not be banned completely. Yes, a legal age should be there to buy cigarette packets. But banning smoking is like forcing a decision on someone's personal choice. After a particular age a person is capable of taking decisions for his good or bad. It should be left on him/her whether he/she wants to take on a habit that would take him to the way to death or not. Awareness programs should be run to spread the disadvantages of smoking. And smoking should be definitely banned in public places. |

| Majority of the people are educated and health conscious.They understand that smoking is not only injurious to their health but also to the health of people around them. A awareness program on'injuries caused by smoking' may work successfully rather than completely banning smoking.In my opinion we cannot force a addicted person to quit smoking. Smoking should not be banned completely but smokers should be helped to quit smoking. |

| Yes smoking is banded completely because it is harmful to all peoples. It is not more harmful to those people that take smoking but it is more harmful to that people that sit near smoked people because his cigarate smoke goes inside the nearer people that is very dangerous for his health. Smoking is banded completely most of public places like petrol pumps, train, buses, hospitals, schools, or mostly in serials or movies because childrans learn easily and make habit to smoking and in petrol pumps, buses, train because there is dangers for accidental fire. Danger of live very innocent people. |

As we know that healthy body keeps healthy mind. One who smokes, has no controll on his/she thinking. Most of the crimnals are smokers. Smokers do not have good ability to differentiate between the good and the bad things. So they not only polluted the atmosphere, but also the society... |

Smoking can not be banned at a one go, rather it should be eradicated at a gradual slow pace, because there are certain problems or after effects associated with the health of a smoker if he quits smoking at once.
# people can be made aware of hazardous effects of smoking by campaigns and by public advertisements.
# family members of the smoker can influence by limiting the no. Of cigarates for him in a day.
# government can plan to limit the selling of cigarates such as by making a rule so that shopkeepers are not selling a packet to a certain customer for not more then once in a certain no. Of days. |

Ya I appreciate some of the above views but I want to say how smoking will be banned completely. It is a kind of thing which can't be banned completely but can be minimized through public awareness and prohibiting it in public places.
Question arises of banning the product let be remind you these tobacco industries are charged very heavily. Which contributes to the national growth. If they will be banned there will be a loss to the nation. |

As there is no doubt that smoking is injuriously to health, so smoking should be banned. But it will not solve the problem at all. Cause a huge percent of world population is addicted to it and addiction can't be stopped in one day. There should be a long process to remove the addiction.
Otherwise like illegal use of drugs and weeds, cigar smoking will also be used illegally. Rather there are few ways to solve it-.
1. Public smoking should be totally banned. Strong punishment should be given (100 rs. Fine not the solution).
2. Government and ngos should take initiative of rehabilitation by giving free nicotine tablets etc. Because many addicted peole want to came out from it but can't. Like the poor people can't buy costly quit smoking gums. So they should be given these for free.
3. Anti smoking campaign using affected lungs pictures should be done from basic level in schools to make them understand it is how much harmful. |

| According to me we come in this world with some some good and bad things. So there are always 2 possibilities like a two sides of the coin. So we must use these things in a limited way so that it cannot effect our health. But some people take these in unlimited way or addicted way which is not good. So my statement on this topic is this it cannot be banned completely but we must know our limits to take such kind of things. |

Hi everyone.
Friends just think is banning the solution of eradicating this menace. Just think if it will be banned than what about all those workers, what about the industry. Smoking is the personal choice, rather than banning cigarette we have to cut those scenes from movies in which hero beats after smoking or drinking.
People start smoking in glamor, but later get addicted, so we have to stop the youth from getting attracted toward this dark side of glamor.
I think by two ways we can reduce the smoking, "support and responsibility".
Support of family, friends in abandoning this habit. We don't have to look to smokers with suspicious eyes, they are no different they are one of us. Open more and more rehab, parents become friend of child so that they can monitor every activity.
Responsibility of smokers themselves, if they want to smoke than they need to affect their health only not of others, no public smoking (we can impose fine on smoking in public place and also strictly follow that).
ITS NOT WHAT ENTERS MAN'S MOUTH IS EVIL, ITS WHAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH IS. |

Smoking should be banned.... it should be done in step by step process... if we ban it right from tomorrow there are still many ways to get the cigars illegally...
I would like to say government should take some serious steps like
---> There shouldn't be any advertising regarding tobacco products n first they have to ban the advertisment boards of tobacco products.
---> Govt should ban the different brands of tobacco products n there should be only one brand n the name of the brand shouldn't be on the cigarate packets....
---> There should be ban of smoking in public places and have to take some serious action against the one who doesn't follow it.
---> Instead of the names there should be symbols and pictures of the parts of our body which are effected by cigars...
Actually this process was followed by Australian govt and got great success with in 20 years..
Hope one day India will be free of Smokers |

Smoking should be banned completely...
Because
--> It is not only harmful to the smoker but also to the persons around him.
--> Once used to that habit one can't live even an hour without it and becomes panic
in its unavailability.
--> Many a person are wasting money on this bad habit even they are poor and their
families need money.
But in my view this step only minimises these effects to a level but for complete eradication of smoking problem IN ADDITION TO SMOKING, SELLING OF CIGARETTES ALSO SHOULD BE BANNED |

We all know that smoking is injurious to our health. Even it is also written in the packets. Then still why do we smoke? Smoking is a thing which is dependent on personal interest of the person. I think smoking must be banned and industries which make cigarettes should be closed by government. Smoking creates millions of cancer patient every year and all chain smoker knows that fact but they don`t stop smoking because they don`t feel pain when they smoke.Cigerrates are hazardous for health. They are not like wine or alcohol, if had in little quantities as per prescription can help your health. However, before banning cigerrattes following points should be given due preference-
1 Creating awareness among youth of the hazardous effects of cigarettes.
2 Making cigerattes unaffordable product, doubling and tripling taxes and increasing the cost.
3 Encouraging the production of those products which will help recovering from the addiction towards cigarettes. Recently, Nicorette, one of such product came into market.
4 Encourage use of 'kaadivellam*', so that smokers will lose their interest in smoking and start to consume them.
*NB.kaadivellam is a special type of energy drink used commonly in our locality. |

Smoking is really injurious to health but it cannot be ban completely as there are still people who leave on smoking and even government earn huge amount of money by imposing taxes on such injurious products and such industries!
Its easy to say that a person can leave smoking easily but its very tough for person to do that as it is his habitual habit and it has become his routine. |

Smoking is hazardous and life threatening, I totally agree with this fact. But it should be banned completely ; I don't think that would be a smart move. It may have an adverse effect on both, tobacco production which accounts for a handsome share in our GDP and the people who haven't quitted smoking yet. As we all know smoking can't be quitted over night and if goverment will ban smoking before taking smokers out of grip of tobacco, it would be fatal for them.
Apart from this smoking is banned for minors and every cigratte packet do have a proclaimed statuary warning on it, that means a smoker is smoking with his/her own consent and he is mature enough to take any decision. Cigrattes are health wrecker and so are pain killers, sleeping pills and cocoa leaves that is famous in our country as 'Pan'.
Recently UN under its narcotics law, has banned chewing of cocoa leaves in bolivia, chewing cocoa leaves is a tradition there and so it is in our country, would it be right to do that? My stance about this topic is against the banning of smoking, rebuffing it out of public places was a fair move, making it out of reach from minors was a smart step but banning it won't be a good move from a a devoloping country as ours, which direly needs to keep growing with steady rate. |

| I personally feel that smoking should be banned compleately. There are pleanty of reasons for this. Smoking not only affects the one who smokes but also affects the enviornment over there. Lets say if someone is standing beside the smoker then the smoke which comes out of ciggarate affects alot to the person who inhales it than the one who is smoking. It affects out natural enviornment and also human beings are affected with various dieases beacuase of smoking. |

Hi Everyone,
I am agree with all of you. I would like to add that government should not only make rules to banned smoking but also provide health centers to help those person who are not able to quit smoking. And family members, friends or relatives must help them in quit smoking. Government should provide limitation in importing cigarettes. Government should provides campaigns to aware people of its side effects. It cant be banned completely but by advertising more we can try stop it. |

hi friends,
i agree with Phani Sai Tondepu,your idea of encouraging tabacco xport & dicourage it as domestic consumption is impressive but even if we r xpoting 4 farming purpose it will also effect in otherways... So government should strict 2 the rules of xport & import on govt.demand...& also should ensure fine of huge amount to a person seen along with tabacco & also punished severely so as to make him xample 4 others so dat anyone else cud not dare 2 repeat dis again.... |

Cigerrates are hazardous for health. They are not like wine or alcohol, if had in little quantities as per prescription can help your health. However, before banning cigerrattes following points should be given due preference-
1 Creating awareness among youth of the hazardous effects of cigerattes.
2 Making cigerattes unaffordable product, doubling and tripling taxes and increasing the cost.
3 Encouraging the production of those products which will help recovering from the addiction towards cigerattes. Recently, Nicorette, one of such product came into market.
Also, many of our farmers are depending on tobacco farming directly for their lives. Hence, exporting tobacco should be encouraged and domestic consumption should be discouraged. |

| As a matter of fact, smoking is very injurious to human health. So it should be banned, there is no doubt about it. Because the people who are smoking is not suffered, it also affects the people who around the smoking people. Government should take up some serious step to ban this activity. And even most of the people, have addicted to that hazardous activity. Because of this bad activity, lot of people have dead. And people also should concern their health. Just for having some happiness while smoking, is totally take away them to their danger end. So if smoking is banned, India is looking forward to get the status of developed country. |

| Cigarettes contain nicotine which is seriously affected human health. But it is very difficult for a chain smoker to leave the nicotine addicted to nicotine. So I think govt should not banned the cigarettes but to implement some rules about smoking. Such as in public place, specially where children are presented, smoking is prohibited. Cost of the cigarettes increased in some point that common people have not able to buy more cigarettes at a time. Govt should make a step to award the common people about the harm of this cigarettes. |

Hi Everyone,
As we all know cigarettes contain nicotine n frequent consumption of it can lead to a cancer. So its injuries to everybody let it be active or passive smoker. So why should other people suffer because of one active smoker? So I would say it should completely banned it public places.
Government should arrange social campaign to create public awareness,
Alcoholic things should be heavily taxed, only shopkeepers should allowed to sell this things who are license holder n those to whom government have allowed, so people will find it difficult to get it easily. Even I have heard there are some medicines available for chain smokers. So those who wanna get rid of their habits can try for it. Possibly this will help in minimizing smoking.
I would say if everyone will start acting as responsible person then there will not be any need of banning the things. Thank you. |

No Smoking should not be banned completely.
For smokers it is very difficult to leave at one go because they are addicted to nicotine. Smoking helps stress relief. The sentence used has no intentions in promoting smoking Infact its just speaking about smokers mindset.
Government has taken some steps such as
1. Writing on cigarets "cigaret smoking is injurious to health".
2. Age limit of 21 years.
No Smoking Day is an another idea which is been implemented in uk with great success. Laws created but implementation missing but still some % of the million are listening.
Our Target is Non Smokers should remain Non Smoker. Thus no smoking awareness should be spread in the school itself. So that atleast 100 years from now there would be no company doing business in cigarets. |

Its just impossible to control those who are addicted, they try to get rid of it but it is next to impossible for them. It is also true that if is suddenly banned many people shall loose their jobs. But if people loose their jobs, there is a chance for them to try for another and if THEY LOOSE THEIR LIVES, THEY LOOSE IT FOREVER. |

I also agree that people may face unemployment by sudden banning of smoking but larger mass of population dies because of smoking. Don`t you think that unemployment would be better? BECAUSE IF A PERSON IS UNEMPLOYED ONCE, HE HAS OTHER CHANCE BUT A DEAD IS DEAD FOREVER. |

Banning the product is not a complete solution of the problem.it is written on the cigrette packet that it is injurious to health.but still people have that knowing the consequences.They know the health hazards they'll face if they continue but still they do.so this totally depends upon individual choice cos after 21 a person is mature enough to take decisions related to his life.
It's not possible for the govenment to ban as major portion of revenues depend on that.also people working and related to tobacco industry would have to look for other job and that would pressurize the employment market.
we should create more awareness regarding the topic.we should support the thought of nicotine free cigrettes.that will surely help those who want to quit smoking |

| Smoking should not be banned completely. Even if govt tries to ban them, it can lead to illegal selling of it. It can be removed only by public awareness. For example, in case of drugs, even when it was banned people tried to get it illegally. It was reduced only when proper awareness was created among the people. So I would suggest that in order to reduce smoking, first create a public awareness. This can gradually reduced their demand and eventually leading to the close of the cigarette manufacturing companies. |

Everyone know that smoking is not only injurious to their help but also their friends, relatives and children. About one third of male adult in world smoke. Also there is a fact that while smoking every cigarette, they lose five minutes of their life. The cigarette contains 11 chemical compounds which cause cancer.
The side-stream smoke has higher concentrations of cancer-causing agents (carcinogens) than the mainstream smoke. And, it contains smaller particles than mainstream smoke, which make their way into the body's cells more easily.
So Smoking should be banned completely for the welfare Human life and healthy future country. |

According to my point of view, We can ban smoking in advertisements, Movies, TV shows etc. Because Nowadays most of the children are consume cigarets even before 5th standard. This is all because of Movies. And also we can impose high tax on cigaret manufacturing companies. Because if the cost is higher then people automatically avoid it. The Basic step is to create awareness about the causes and effects of Smoking...
"IF WE CREATE AWARENESS IN SCHOOL LEVEL, IT WILL BE MUCH BETTER. BECAUSE IF WE CORRECT THE NEXT GENERATION THEN WE CAN AVOID MUCH PROBLEM. THEY WILL CONCENTRATE ON THEIR HOME."
SO CREATING AWARENESS AMONG SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL BE THE BETTER SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. |

according to me ,smoking should not be banned because of the following reason
1. Many people who are working in Cigret company will lost heir job.
2. Government generate revenue from the tax payed from these company.
3. There may be illegal selling of cigret may happen thats may lead to crime. |

Yes govt should ban smoking because it has very bad effect. It create lots of cancer patient and it has very bad effect on environment.
It releases very poisonous gas which is very harmful for our health.
Small children also get fascinated by cigarette through their elder which has very bad impact on society.
Yes it is true that it is one's own personal interest, we should not interfere in it, but when some one get addicted of cigarette then it is very difficult to get out from this so govt should take action. Govt should ban smoking and also the company which manufacture it.
Smoking also spoil mind so it will lead to crime. So I personally feel that it should be banned completely to protect human and environment. |

I accept all of your valuable points. According to my point of view, I feel that you can never feed a behaviour into a person's mind by making it a rule, until they really understand the matter. Even if we do so, they will find different ways to break our rules. This is a simple mindset of human mind. Better we can bring a lot of awareness to people.
Smoking cannot be banned but unfortunately it should be. Now-a-days public are also getting affected by these smokers. They are not only spoiling themselves but also people around them. A better solution would be to reduce the manufacture of these products and a little more thought by the smokers on their health. |

Why does the government not ban this cigarette manufactures?because they know that a lot of moneys inflow to our market from this trade.

No, smoking should not be banned. Because smoking a ciggarate will not cause harm. The problem comes out only for chain smokers and not for the persons who smoke occasionally. Instead banning, just create awareness among the chainsmokers and create social organisation for treating the chainsmokers. But the government should take severe action against the persons who smokes in public places.

It create pollution, dangerous gas such as carbon monoxide is released which can chock the breathing, lungs problem, breathing problem, increasing global warming. Its the duty of every individual to support and save our motherly planet earth. It can be saved only after sacrifices. For the fact that ciggarate provide a good tax revenue, I would say that Indian goverment can save lakhs of ruppes on medical services that they spend on diseases happening due to ciggarates if they strictly banned it. |

Smoking should be definitely banned. At the same time, it is impossible for the government to ban smoking. As we cannot straighten the dog's tail. Also, banning does not render a permanent solution to curb the problem of smoking, as laws are many a times broken by the common people. Smoking, according to some people is stress buster, but it is slow poison which will definitely ruin your lives.
It is really a matter of personal interest but still smokers should try to turn down the habit of smoking. Smoking is injurious to both who smoke and the people around them. Another most appalling thing is that, the girls smoking which should be greatly discouraged. So, smoking should be banned completely in order to lead a healthy life. |

So i never say, one has to stop smoking and live a peaceful life...even we can get a great among please by smoking. So according to me smoking is personal but shouldn't disturb others by irritating them, smoking in a restricted area!!so guys enjoy your own little life!! |

My dear friends, all your points regarding the ill effects of smoking are taken and if you ask me, emotionally speaking, it should be banned right away. But practically speaking it would not be possible and moreover it is not the right aproach.
A person who is in a habit to smoke can't leave it all of a sudden. He would need awarness about the ill efffects,support from his family members, medical support in some cases and most importantly self control.
So, firstly we should focus on avaialing these things to them and then gradually fading the tobacco products. Also, we then would need to think about to back up plans to support our economy as we get a considerable support from tobbaco consumptions. |

In my view even if government bans, it cannot stop smokers from smoking because an addicted cannot stop at once.
Rather it can reduce the number of smokers slowly by creating awareness among public about the ill effects of smoking.
And a rule must be brought that cigars are not sold to younger teens since it is known fact that most people get addicted in their teen age at which they are not matured to full extent. |

An individual is necessarily social...one live cause the whole society. Govt spends huge amount of money on health care system and most of the problems are directly and indirectly related to smoking. Smoking of an individual harms the society in following ways
1. Harms his health there is a loss of good human resource of a country.
2. He cuases the discomfort to and affect the health of people in his surroundings.
3. Even smoking in isolation is harmful for his family in many ways.
4. The most affected of them are poor or middle class people who spends a chunk of their income on smoking. This reduces their savings and curtails their essential expenditures which improvishes them and cause hardship to their families.
5. Smoking perpetuates the poverty and backwardness of poors and marginalised sections of the society in countries like India.
6. It is more fatal for younger generation who are more addictive and prone to smoking. |

Ofcourse i too oppose smoking. Nobody would support smoking even the smokers.
Everybody knows its very dangerous both to that person and also to the surrounding. It causes cancer and many infectious lung diseases. But as they are addicted,they cant come out of it.
But here the great beauty is the cigarette manufacturers are both making them and also writing 'SMOKING IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH' on the wrappers.
The only way to discard smoking from the society lies in the hands of the smokers. No other public awareness program could aware them. |

| A ban on smoking (cigarettes) would show little effects. I mean, parents don't want their children to watch porn but eventually they do (and they don't even need to buy it). Similarly, banning it would lead to smuggling it and then selling in 'black'. Motivating people about its harmful aspects would be definitely better. |

Yes. Smoking should be banned completely. It not only affect the health of the person who is smoking, it also affect people who are sitting near by him. Also we can see this type of condition in the buses or in the local train where near by passengers are disturbed by a smoker.
More ever smoking is just the wastage of money. Now a days it has become a fashion for youngsters. They use to light up a cigarette even in their college campus. Smoking should be banned completely not only in India but in the whole world. |

Smoking cannot be banned fully i would say. Even if it is banned business will continue in other ways(illegal shops) and starts all over again in the past govt. has made lot of efforts and failed in this approach.
It's in the hands of people to decide whether they want to live an healthy life without smoking or not. |

| Yes, Banning of Smoking is very important. Because of it alot of people facing many problems. If a person smokes,then not only he face the problems but also the persons who inhale the smoke are also suffering from many new health problems. Probably all the smokers may know that, smoking is dangerous but they are not supposed to control and cease it. If the Govt. want to ban it, first of all it should ban the companies which are manufacturing the cigarettes. And it should provide jobs of the people who are working there. So that the effect of smoking may control. And the Govt. should give orders to the Govt. officers to stop and control it. |

No, The smoking should not be banned completely. The smoking is personal interest only. So their is no need of banning completely. But we have to tell to the persons who is smoking very much that what are the problems we get when we smoke.
The government has to take the steps to the smokers that they should not smoke in public. If any body smokes in public they should be fined. I think already this waqs come but it was not done according to our government. So this is the main way to reduce smoking rather than banning. |
