Supposed future : Government bans cigarette in India. Bangladesh's economy suddenly skyrockets and so does India's black market. Vapor, e-cigarettes take over smoking for the younger generation the end.
Should we ban smoking completely?Who are we to (indirectly) force others on what not to breathe? Especially since most people who do smoke do it in a secluded area away from us, also their productivity in society isn't affected unlike many people have commented below. They have their life in their own hands not ours.

In my opinion, smoking should not be banned because if it will be banned then the people who are addicted to smoke may be unable to survive or choose to indulge in even more harmful acts like drinking or drugs.
As a smart citizen, each individual should know what is good for his/her health and what not.
At last, I would like to conclude that it should not be banned but awareness about its consumption and harmful effects should be increased so that people must think about themselves and their family before smoking.

Cigarettes should not be turned off. Because now everyone knows that excessive use of car causes pollution and makes it difficult to breathe. However, we do not stop using the car. Also, for those who want to smoke, please drink. Cigarettes reduce work stress. And the one who suffers knows what the consequences will be. Also, the smoker will not come to you to ask for money. And his money will be used only for the country. Many people will lose their jobs due to the cessation of cigarettes. So, I am opposed to this.

Hi all,
In my point of view smoking should be banned because it can cause cancer and other various disease. It can also be disturbance to non smoker when smokers smoke near to them. This has also affected to young youth where they use cigarette to smoke as fashion nowadays.
This are influenced from television, films etc where they promote the use of tobacco, cigarette etc. This could banned if the government take action to shut down all the factories that produce harmful product such as cigarette, tobacco etc.

Hi, this is Asish.
Ban on smoking completely can't be justified.
If we project it out right now, we can visualize that smokers will definitely get upto some other way of fulfilling their need or want, citing evidences like Gujarat Liquor Ban, encouraging Black Market.
Not banning is leading to chronic smoking, but every individual is responsible for themselves, even government having responsibility towards public, can't force and violate rights of an individual. It has become the need of masses of smokers.

Hi friends,
I think tobacco should not be banned. Because even though tobacco banned the addicted person should get it from black market. It affects the bread and butter of farmer who is growing tobacco in its farm. There are lot of people who are earning their livelihood by selling tobacco product, lot of people working in tobacco industry they will be unemployed.
So to banning of tobacco completely is not a right solution we have to find another solution to get people aware of drawback of tobacco.

Smoking should not be banned, it should be regulated by bringing new laws it will helps to stop illegal and the cancerous smoking product comes into the market, direct banning it does solve the problem. Banning leads loss of revenue and most of the people's loss their job. We have a freedom to eat, speak and smoke but smoking should not allow in public places like garden, streets, schools and colleges. The new laws increase awareness among people through advertisement, TV, and labeling on products.

Smoking shouldn't be banned completely. I totally agree it has many side effects, there are many other things which also had side effects. Like oil used on the roadside in restaurants. Water which is used in many shady hotels. Govt should 1st look after health and food Dept. Also, tobacco products give employment to many people in India.
Not only in India, but all over the world, if it gets banned completely all of sudden. What will those family do? They could put age restriction to 21 or to 25.

Hello.
I don't think so that smoking should be banned. Every human has his own rights. If a person wants to smoke for relief he must have complete freedom for that. Smokers are mature persons. They are completely aware of the harmful effects of smoking. Besides that, tobacco industry generates huge revenue. There are also many harmful products like soft drinks, chocolate ice cream should they also be banned? In the end, I want to say that smoking shouldn't be banned but it should be regulated.

Yes it should be banned, most of the People treated the smoking habit is a fashion in present society. Including the school children also showing the excitement about this. Every time we have seen the statement "smoking is injurious to health" before we are going to watch a movie in theatre. But still we can never see a change in the people. So, I suggest the government to bring some laws towards it that means collecting the penalties from the people those who are encouraging this activity.
