Should Smoking be Banned Completely?

As per the discussion, I would say.

Yes, cigarette should be banned.

Basically, this smoking culture is adapted and understood as a status symbol.

On the packet of cigarette, we find a note stating that smoking on s injuries to health and even in movies a disclaimer is also flashed at the bottom I don't understand when it is harmful and the creator itself knows that it could ruin life then why is it not stopped from producing it.

A pathetic and humorous thing is that at one side people produce it and the other hand they produce such kind of products which can help smokers from smoking to some extent. I really wanted to know what actually these people are supporting.

I have seen some people smoke so that they can get rid of mental tensions really people should find other ways.

Just a puff your life and people dependent on you will be also left alone.

Good morning friends,

First of all, I would like to thanks to all my friends for their wonderful experience. I completely agree with this topic that smoking should be banned completely. But not very instant. It should be banned but in a very slow process because it will lead to addiction of other products that are more harmful than cigrattes. In India all of us know that instantly ban leads to strikes also. Smoking cause lungs and throat cancer and also it makes tar in lungs which leads to death also.

It is a duty of public also to quit this because they don't think while smoking that what affects their family after his death. It not only affects the smokers but also affects the people who are nearby.

So govt should aware the public about the bad effects of smoking and should increase the price of cigrattes, tobacco and all.

Thank you.

In my point of view smoking should really be banned completely from society because it has harmful effect. Smoking is injurious to health, smokers by giving money they are buying lot of problem, the person smoking is waste of money.

Smokers says that-they can relieve the stress and tension the every person is having tension in life so smoking is not the solution we should face the problem of our life. Smoking is very bad habit, it causes many disease.

Government has banned Maggie because it is harmful for health but why doesn't they ban cigarettes. Smoking is harmful for people not only smoker but also who are nearby of smoker.

Smoking causes lungs cancer, TB and other health disease to human. It also cause air pollution by this pollution our society will be polluted. In order to overcome this should smoking banned completely. Thanks.

Undoubtedly, smoking is hazardous for health, however, imposing a complete ban on it doesn't sound viable to me.

To begin with, cessation of tobacco producing industries will take away the jobs of several workers with it, thus, unemployment would rise to a certain extent. Other thing is that government's major portion of revenue comes from tax on tobacco products, therefore, the earnings of the government would also hamper.

So, in order to prevent people from smoking, firstly, various awareness programs should be launched which aware people about the detrimental effects of smoking. Moreover, the supply of these products should be reduced and to those below 18, it shouldn't be sold.

To conclude, by adopting above mentioned ways, it would be handy to curb people's crave for smoking without putting a complete ban on it.

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

According to my view smoking should be banned completely because it is injurious to health. It also affects the health of others who not a smoker but standing or seating nearby a person who is smoking. It is a tough decision to take but it should be taken. With this positive step, we can save many valuable lives those are important for their families, children, and country. It is a good step toward the betterment of the country.

Now the question is so many people are habitual of smoking than how we completely banned. To solve this problem I think our government should take steps like give a deadline before implementation or aware the people through seminars. If once we achieve success in that I will be a great decision.

Thanks to all for giving their precious time to read my view.

My opinion is, it is not possible really, to completely ban tobacco products and alcohol. Because government earns a lot of revenue from manufacturing companies. Also, the quitting of addicted smoking in one chance is very hard to do. Many farmers and associated employers of manufacturing company got unemployed by banning them. Instead of banning the following steps should take by govt. Which may help for very low consumption of tobacco products and alcohol?

These are,

1. Increasing the rate of these products.

2. Smoking in public places must be prohibited.

3. Set particular shops for selling. It will definitely lower consumption. Frequent no.of shops is one of the reasons for higher consumption.

4. Government Should set an optimum limit of nicotine content per consumed product.

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.

Smoking doesn't need to be banned but should be regulated instead.

India is the second largest tobacco market after China, over 120 million Indians smoke.

Bidi covers almost 85% of the smoking market.

The problem with banning is the loss of the revenue obtained in the form of taxes and loss of employment to people depending on this industry.

Moreover, the world bank recommends a taxing of 65-85% when it comes to tobacco products which are a mere 4% in case of bids and 40% in case of cigarettes in India.

Banning would simply lead to black marketing and loss of taxes which we have already faced in case of Pan Masala and Gutka products.

So increasing the taxes to the standard rates will increase the revenue and would regulate the smoking to some extent.

Hello friends,

Myself Rahul,

According to my opinion smoking should be banned because it creates lots of diseases for ex. -lung cancer. Mainly it depends upon our mental condition whether we should make habit it or not. When we buy a packet of cigarette, a serious note is mentioned that "smoking is injurious to health". Even in a movie theater, at the time of starting of the movie a disclaimer is flashed that "dhumrapan parega mehnga". Because of smoking large no. Of population are suffering from a number of diseases.

Sometimes it seems logically cool that most of the revenue generated in India from smoking. After china, India is in 2nd position. However, it should not be banned rather we can control ourself not to smoke or quit smoke. That's all. Ok.

As we all know smoking is a gradual death, means it kills not only the smokers but the people who live around them,

Actually why does some youths get addict to such bad things, main reason beyond this can be parents who have been addicted in cigarette and smokes in front of their children, it will affect children blood in smokes and then at the age of adult they are willing to smoke because their blood already has affected by smokers.

Smoking can be band if public help government and many ways are here how to band cigarette.

1. Impose higher tax on companies, shops. (retailer and whole seller).
2. Restrictions.
3. Awareness of bad effects.
4. Providing job opportunity for addicted people.
5. Helping them to how to gets out of this hell (advice them).
