Hellow everyone!

I'm in the favour of smoking should be banned. It affects the new generation because they think that smoking is the fashion nowadays. We have to aware students and childrens that smoking is injurious to health. It may create heart problems may affect lever and emiune system. Parents should aware their children about the harmful affects of smoking like lung cancer and cancers. Smoking affects the cigarette user but also of the nearby people. Smoking should be banned in India by the government. The government should work with social workers to decrease the rate of consumers of cigarettes by the distribution of nicotine by any means.

Dear,

As we all know that every coin has two sides same as in this point smoking, some people say that it gives them relief in the stress and anxiety and some of view is that smoking is not only affect the smoker but also them who does not take it because it mixed with environment and become harmful.

So it should be taken but with view of others and our own health in very limited manner. We should follow the policy too avoid smoking in public place. So in the end I would like say nd clear my views that smoking should not be completely stop or banned because it is harmful but also have some benefit too which may give satisfactions to the people.

Smoking should not be banned. If you choose to go into a private establishment that allows smoking, then you do so knowing that it is allowed. It needs to be up to the business owners at their sole discretion. An example: where I live, there are 2 bars across the street from each other. Both of their food is ok. But the bar that allows smoking does 40%more in sales each month. Why is that? People don't like to go to a business that they plan to be at for a while only to have to go outside to smoke. So why should every business be forced to take a 40% loss in sales just to appease a group that everyone is tired of hearing anyway?

Hi Friends,

Smoking is a evil that curbs a man. Not only man but nowadays even among children and women we find chain smoker. It's not only the tobacco used inside the cigarettes that's harmful but also the paper covering the cigarettes that's equally more poisonous.

Even after publicized advertisements through mass medias or display in cigarettes packets there isn't any decrease in the consumption by any ordinary individual. Thus to save the society from this evil the government must think of retrieving people from its consumption by introducing smoking DE addiction centers or gyms similar to Nicotine and ban smoking.

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.

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!

According to my point of view, smoking should be ban, here it's not about money it's about someone life which is destroying these days.

And it also not about that particular person but all family member who is connected with him.

It may be possible there is only one person who is feeding their family but due to this, he had no more life.

Its seem logically cool that it shouldn't be banned because of revenue but when it comes to us personally then we come to know about the importance of life. Youth is more addicted towards tobacco which is the big question mark about our future of India.

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.

Yes, Smoking should be completely banned. It is not only effecting the one who is smoking but also the once in the surrounding of that smoke. For eg. , If one person is smoking at raily crossing, traffic signal or at any other public places, smoking will definitely effect the smoker but along with him the others around him will be effected same as him. So, the one's who are smoking for their pleasure, it is becoming dangerous for others along with them. Smoking effects the health and thus effects the development, power and youth of the country. So, smoking should be strictly banned.

Let me start with an example of ITC limited.

The 80% of the production of cigarettes by ITC is sold in India while only 20% is exported. Revenue of the company used to be the only source until it diverse into another business.

The profit from this sector was so huge that the company sustained 110 years and employment generation capabilities and farmers in the Gujarat charotar region has been famous for this the golden leaf.

So until you find some alternative to this it would be harmful to economy and industry. Where not only the smoker will be affected but also non-smoker.
