Should Smoking be Banned Completely?

Hello friends, my name is Rampal.

As you all have shared your generous thoughts about the topic, I also want to share my viewpoint.

Yes, smoking should be completely banned in country. I can justify my opinion by following points:

1) Smoking is injurious to health of a person not only who smokes but also of the nearby people. In a recent survey, it was found that tobacco caused the deaths of about 8 lakh people per annually.

2) If government seeks for the revenue (through enormous taxes on these products) and the employment by the tobacco factories.

Then it should be known that, the cost on treatment of tobacco disease and lack of productivity (in terms of spoiled youth) is much more than the revenues and employment.

3) If a person dies in a family, then he left his family helpless. His family has to suffer a lot. By putting ban over smoking, families can be prevented from getting spoiled.

4) Moreover, it causes the degradation of our environment, by its consumption and even by manufacturing.

CONCLUSION:

Besides putting complete ban over smoking, preventive measures should be taken for the addicted people to help them overcome their addiction. ''nasha mukti kendra'' should be opened in every district.

Along with, awareness should be spread through newspapers, dramas in schools etc about the evil consequences of the smoking.

Thank you.

According to me, smoking should not be banned or it can never be banned in India as there are many smokers in India and it is a commodity which contributes in large sum revenue generation. By banning smoking will increase smuggling of cigarettes in black market and no tax collection can be possible. Rather than banning, government should take serious steps for control of smoking like:

1. Increase in tax for cigarettes or any other materials related to smoking.

2. Testing of every brand should be done to reduce nicotine and other hazardous substances in commodities related to smoking.

3. Local brands and manufacturers should be banned from the production of bad and cheap quality products.

4. Like liquor it should be sold by government-licensed shops, this will decrease consumption.

5. Use of cigarettes in movies should be banned as it promotes smoking in teenagers after they see that their hero is smoking in an attitude.

So, rather than banning, strict rules should be made like liquor. By banning there will be a loss of lakhs of employment related to smoking industry.

Hi friends,

In my mind smoking should be banned because it is a dangerous addiction in India. Many people die and give their life in this dangerous consumption. They consume it for relief and enjoyment.

But it should not be completely banned because many people have employment in these industries. If they are banned then unemployment in India will increase. Their families will have to starve for food. So if smoking is banned then the government should go with a proper plan and we should prevent ourselves from smoking.

Thank you!

Smoking is really injurious to health. I agree but somehow at some point, I might not agree with the decision of banning cigarettes completely.

The ban on cigarettes may lead to black marketing of the product as there are millions of smokers throughout the world and the habit of smoking cannot be changed rapidly.

The economy will also be hampered as the government taxes will diminish due to the downfall of the cigarette companies.

Thus to conclude, rather than taking a decision to ban cigarettes, it is better to innovate some new technique for smoking without having the side effects.

Banning is not a solution as we know smoking habits get developed throughout several years and can't be corrected in an overnight decision of the government, many people are addicted to it. Instead, an alternative should be thought of which should be less harmful and easily available in the market. And steps should be taken to curb smoking habits in the children at a young age.

Advertisements by superstars should be banned. Awareness campaigns in schools and colleges can contribute.

Smoking is just insane. I am against it so much, and I think it should be banned. It is hurtful to the environment. OK, they can go ahead and pay for their death, but it infects the poor public, with second-hand smoke which is very rude and disgusting.

The innocent person can breathe in the smoke when the smoker breathes it out of their lungs, through the nose or mouth. (Which, by the way if it was through their mouth, I hope snot comes out with it-HAHA!) Death rate is also increasing, which is causing hospitals to overwork.

Because they contain harmful and injurious chemicals like tar which is used to make roads, we won't be able to use chemicals for what they are really supposed to be used for. I have justified my reasons. I hope we can ban smoking in the future or now.

Yes, smoking to be banned completely in India. Smoking not only causes serious health issues to the smoker and the people around them but also, effects financially very much. Sale of cigarettes to be banned completely. In NCR we are already under heavy air pollution, as doctor recommendation peoples residing in NCR intakes in so much polluted that it is equivalent to consumption of 10-15 cigarettes daily. Although, smoking not only affecting our health but also our culture too. Many Students under the age of 18 are also active smokers, they attracted towards this habit from because of movies, they thought smoking as status symbol, while they feel adulthood with them. Smoking/Cigarettes to be completely ban although this will effect the chain smoker but it should be banned in phase manner. Firstly, the production to be restricted. Shop selling cigrettes to be registered so that its easy availability to be restricted. Because of easy availability of cigarettes in common places smoking has been increasing a lot and causing serious health issues to Indians.

According to me, smoking should not be completely banned in India. Any instant decision leads to an imbalance in the society. Tobacco industry generates a large no. Of employment. As well as it is a great source of revenue for the government. This generated revenue is then used for the building of infrastructure, providing healthcare facilities for free of cost and many more things. Banning of this industry completely will result in loss of employment which will then impact the lives of many people. For eg: we can see the result of banning alcohol in Bihar. The government faced a huge loss in its fiscal and so no improvement in infrastructure can be seen in the past years. So instead of banning it completely, the government should take other measures to spread awareness among the people. It can set an age bar for smoking as well as set the limit for no of cigarette packets a person can buy monthly. The government Should 1st think about the various ways of generating employment and then eventually ban these tobacco industries.

Hello friends.

First of all yes, smoking is injurious to our health it causes lung cancer and many diseases. Everyone one of us knows that, but we also live in a democratic nation where everyone has the right to do whatever he like which is within the rules so we cannot completely ban smoking it will be a wrong step towards the freedom of people.

And yes, being a responsible government some rules can be made.

Some of them have been like.

No smoking in public place.

No smoking while driving.

Warning in every smoking product.

Raising the price of stuffs.

This will help to decrease smoking.

Thanks!

Yes its a common topic of discussion from years, and almost every non smoker is in the favor of banning the cigarettes, alcohol and all those products that are harmful. But the surprising fact is that still government has no objection on its supply and manufacturing. It has some genuine reasons.

First of all the people are now so addicted to smoking that if government tries to make a quick decision of banning these product, this will encourage the black market of such product and at the same time the addicted people may find other offensive way to harm themselves and others as well.

Second is loss of revenue for the government. These products contribute a major part of total revenue for the government due to high tax on them.

Last in my points but not the least is the unemployment caused by closing these industries. A number of farmers, workers, small shopkeeper and street vendors are earning their livelihood from these industries. They will become helpless and unemployed.

According to me slow and steady removal of addiction is the solution to this problem. Eliminating these industries with awareness, law and punishment is a better way than banning it at once.
