Should Smoking be Banned Completely?

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.

Yes, it should be banned, and there must not be any issues of violation of rights of freedom of an individual since constitution provides rights of freedom keeping in view that the freedom should not harm other's freedom or proves deadly to them.

Hello friends,

In my view, there should a ban on smoking as it is harmful not only to the person consuming it but also to passive smokers (indirect smokers). The main reason behind not putting a ban is that the government gets revenue from the sale of cigarettes. Irrespective of showing in advertisements the long lasting effect of smoking, people still use it as a source of refreshment. But I think smoking cannot be completely banned as the real effort should come from public by quitting it. The government has made efforts to increase the rate of tax on tobacco, cigarettes to discourage the usage. Complete ban is not possible as levying restrictions may result in people resorting to drugs, which is again a headache for government as even students are addicts.

So in conclusion, the real effort should be from the part of public to get rigid of this cancer causing smoke.

Thank you.

Hello friends,

I think smoking should not band at all. The government does not have any personal rights. So how ever wants to quit it they can and coming up in passive and active smoking. See overall UAE such as malls and public places we have special rooms or cabins only over there we UAE citizens are allowed to smoking as so the other people who don't smoke will not get any disease due to the smoking person.

According to my opinion, smoking shouldn't be completely banned because more than half of the earning from it, in the way of tax and other side effects our health and culture also. We should take steps to remove it then the only problem will be solved.

In my point of view, I totally agree with smoking be banned completely but not sudden, slowly do this process because if any case government will ban the smoking suddenly some chances of addicted to drugs. Drugs are so dangerous than cigarette so band the smoking slowly.

I think that smoking should be banned completely because there is a lot of people that have health problems. Soon then the whole world will be polluted because of smoking. It's bad for your health.

Hello friends,

I think smoking should not be banned completely because it is the major part of the revenue of our country. But besides from this smoking is very hazardous to our health. The government should have to make rules against the use of cigarette, but it should not be banned suddenly because it is the pleasure for smokers. If govt banned this then there may be possibility that people can go attracted towards the drugs like cocaine and heroin. It is more harmful than the cigarette.

The government should have to create awareness among the people and in movies, the use of cigarette should be prohibited because the teenagers get affected by this.

Thank you.

Anyone who claims to get pleasure or claims that smoking is enjoyable I believe are afraid to face a future without them. This is what an addiction does it creates a dependence which we feel will make life terrible once removed and creates a false security. We all seen or experienced the anguish expressed and how hard it was to wean the bottle and security blanket away. We were born to breathe fresh air and eat and drink to survive, we were not born to inhale toxins by choice and if we had the choice, no peer pressures or stimulants or ads to entice just plain choice all over again we would not voluntarily walk into the world of coughs and cancers and COPD and throwing away looks and money to enslave ourselves to a slow death, giving up is hard but once over the giving up lets be honest there is no going back unless not fully recovered from the addiction. I was a former smoker and would never go back and would never want to go through quitting again, once quit stays quit only person or fault for going back is you.
