Hi.

I'm Rahul.

Smoking cause cancer. Not only the person who is smoking. The people who are going near a person while smoking they may inhale the smoke air. They may say to be passive smokers. Likewise, the warning is given in the cigarette packet but the better idea has banned this product for the people's wealth.

Thank you.

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.

Smoking should be banned in India or anywhere in globe. Smoking as cigarettes contain 200 chemicals which harms our body and passive smoking leads to various respiratory disease to others. Banning of smoking is not possible because it will lead to another options of drugs of many of people which can lead to another problem. Govt on its parts had banned smoking in public places and also imposing more tax on tobacco and cigarettes to discourage the people for smoking. But it will not make any difference until the people who smokes should quit it.

Hi friends.

It's a knowable question to all because smoking should be banned only in public place. Hence it does not ban completely. There is no response at the government, they can allow the people at some situation. The rules should be followed strictly. Here a lot of advice and ad can be created for their health care, but there is no usage of impact in public view. I conclude my point with smoking should not be banned completely.

As we all know smoking is injurious to health and it is made from tobacco plants which is an addictive drug. Tobacco plants contain Drung. Smoking is very harmful to our body as well as for our environment also. It gives birth to cancer, tb etc. And also polluted our environment. Nowadays our Youths are attracted towards smoking and women also smoke. Babies which born from the women who are smoking are not very Healthy.

In His adult life, they are suffering from lungs diseases.

Youths also attracted towards beverage liquor. Excess of alcohol can also our lungs as well as our digestive system too. It also affected our mind.

As a result, smoking should be banned.

Alcohol causes cancer.

Red meats causes cancer.

Car emissions causes cancer.

Obesity causes cancer.

Some medications causes cancer.

Let's ban even these things?

Oh, and banning things really solves the problem, look at the prohibition in the 20's and the drug wars.

Should Smoking be Banned Completely?

Yes, I agree with the statement, we should have to ban the smoking in India. As we know that it does not only effect the smoker health it also effecting the surrounding persons. If one active smoker is a friend of someone then there are a lot of chances to change that friend as a passive smoker and slowly to active smoker also. Smoking is very dangerous to health and leads to reduce the person life period. If pregnant women is an active smoker, its results in her baby body growth even before he/she come to this world. Government should have to make awareness seminars and advertisements to ban this smoking completely.

If we ask smokers why they are addict to smoking? They mostly reply that They are tired and by smoking, they are becoming free from it. Whenever they are in a state of unwillingness they will go for smoking and take some relaxation from it and they try to divert from that situation.

As of my experience, I asked so many people why they are smoking and even I asked educated person also they replied the same thing. And I had given an advise to them that try to stop smoking it will results you and your family in brighter. Some of them are followed and some not but I will continue the same thing whenever I find smoker.

In my opinion, smoking should not be banned completely because all the consumers are aware of the consequences of smoking as it is clearly written on the packet that "SMOKING CAUSES CANCER", so no one is hiding anything about its results. It is right of the consumer to choose whether to buy it or not. We cannot force them to quit smoking because we do not like it.

To reduce its effect on other person who are not smoking, government has already imposed several laws that restrict smoking in public places. I think those who are less than 18 and unaware about the consequences of smoking, should not be allowed to smoke.

If you look at cons and pros of smoking, there is only cons(disadvantage) , it affects our lung that targets accumulated over lungs that's makes us breathless if we run for some time or when we go upstairs, reason for cancer(very dangerous to health) and results in decreasing life span, it also makes our environment dirty when people consume it in open environment and most of the time we see that people who don't smoke even being affected because of polluted environment they became a part of passive smoking(its not good) at least it should be completely banned in open environment so that at least others would not get affected by it, taking this step will reduce the smoking by a large extent because I don't think it gonna be banned completely because its a huge source of income and is the ways to nation development economically, so somewhere smokers contributing to the nation development.
