Tobacco should be banned because it causes serious harm to both individuals and society. It’s one of the leading causes of life-threatening diseases like cancer and heart problems, and it affects not just smokers but also people exposed to secondhand smoke. Many youngsters fall into this habit early, not realising the long-term damage.
Banning tobacco would help protect public health, reduce healthcare costs, and create a cleaner, healthier environment. While some may talk about personal choice and economic impact, no personal freedom should come at the cost of others’ lives. A ban would send a strong message that health and well-being come first.

Hello everyone.
My opinion is that tobacco has good side.
Also, on the positive side, tobacco plays an important role in the Indian economy and provides a large number of employment opportunities, which is a positive aspect. Another one is the bat side is the so many to get addicted to the tobacco and to get faced so many health problems for eg. Lugs caner and some heath problems.
Nowadays, health is more expensive normal people, to get difficultly to get maintane health Tobacco kill's many people life special the youth addicted the so many dlags etc. I can explain possitive and negative side. In India, the tobacco ban there on is possible beacuse so many people to get already addicted tobacco that can not live without tobacco life.

Hello. I am Anuja.
Rather than banning Tobacco, the government should increase the tax on the same, due to which the cost price of tobacco will be increased and consumption of tobacco will be decreased at all levels.

Hello everyone.
Tobacco, It is mostly famous for its negative side that causes health issue due to consumption of it and also makes the people life harder without consuming it if they are addicted to but it is equally important to to discuss the postive side of tobacco before deciding on banning of tobacco, It is also known that it is used in most of the medical departments and sudden ban can results in addicted people life harder.
On the other side, the unemployment for the labour work in tobacco and the Black market for it will rapidly increase, which is hard to control.
Conclusion,
Rather than a complete ban, implementing awareness and adding more taxes on such goods can be helpful to limit.

Hello everyone,
There is a way to stop tobacco instead of banning.
We can introduce another and natural tobacco-flavoured something like candies etc., such that people can stop using tobacco. It's not a tobacco, it just give the kick for tobacco users. In this way, we can stop tobacco and then ban it for the young generation.

Hi Everyone,
So today our topic is whether tobacco must be banned, yes/no.
In my opinion, the issue of banning tobacco is not as simple as just saying yes or no.
On one hand we all know how harmful it is it causes diseases like cancer, heart disease have and effects even those indirectly exposed to it so from a health perspective banning tobacco seems like good idea but at the same time we can't ignore the fact that millions of people especially farmers and workers depends on the tobacco industry for their livelihood a sudden ban could lead to have unemployment and even increased black market activities making things harder to control I feel that instead of an outright ban the government should focus on stricter regulations higher taxes limited availability strong warning labels an impactful awareness campaigns especially for the youth along with this proper support should be given to those working the tobacco sector have to ship to other options so the answer of the question tobacco should be banned? I would say not immediately, a phased, well-planned approach would be much more practical and effective.

Hello everyone,
Tobacco is harmful. It can cause many severe diseases like cancer, lung problems and many more. So in my opinion, the tobacco must be banned by our government because it is affecting the youth. Many youth in the country try smoking and get addicted to it.
On the other hand, tobacco is still available in the market because it is contributing to the economy and providing employment to people.

Hi! In my opinion, Tobacco generates employment, but it should not harm anyone.
Today, Lakhs of people die from mouth cancer and other related issues from tobacco.
The government should ban tobacco completely and make life peaceful for every tobacco consumer.

Tobacco is banned but not in a fast way. Because many of the workers are working in their if we banned then what would they will do?
So in place of this, we can ban it by increasing the prices of Tobacco and cigarettes. As the labour of workers is also understood that I will be banned after some time, so they will start to find new jobs.
As my opinion on this, so everyone please give me your ideas on this GD topic.

Cigarettes are dangerous for health and should be banned—but not all at once. Many people are addicted, and a sudden ban could lead to serious health and mental issues. Instead, the government should reduce cigarette use step by step.
Prices should be increased gradually, smoking should be restricted in public, and awareness campaigns should help people quit. A slow, smart plan is better than a sudden ban. This way, we protect health without harming those already addicted.
