In my opinion, tobacco must be banned but it might not be the only beneficiary step toward creating a tobacco-free environment. The most important of all would be creating awareness amongst the individuals affected by the addiction and encouraging them to help others get free from this tobacco addiction.

We can organize some sessions to enlighten the public about the bad health effects that tobacco can have.

In addition to this, the government plays a vital role in the process as it can create a controlled production and keep keen supervision for the same which might reduce the black market sales for tobacco.

Hi friends,

According to my opinion, Tobacco should be banned.

Every Coin has 2 sides likewise banning tobacco is also having pros and cons.

The only disadvantage of the banning of tobacco is our country's GDP. But life is more important than any other thing. If a person or a younger citizen will addicted to tobacco, that may lead him into health problems or sometimes he may die also. The particular person's family also suffers a lot. So I am concluding that banning tobacco is only best.

In my opinion, rather than banning tobacco govt raise awareness among the people. Implementing age restrictions should be mandatory and educate them like, it is not only kill's you whoever with you also impacts a lot, apart from govt it is an individual choice to make a decision whether to use it or not.

According to me tobacco should not banned if it's banned then it will sell in black.

The person who is addicted to tobacco will not eat food but consume tobacco then he is ready to buy at any cost. if tobacco sales were in double rate then he prefers to it only. Because it was dangerous for him he can do everything.

For example, in the Covid lockdown period; tobacco rates were double the rate at that time also the public purchased and consumed it.

If it's banned, the addicted people will buy it at high rates. I think it should not be banned and I suggest that strict rules be created for sellers that not be sold to minors and youth.

According to me, tobacco should not be banned in India. Keeping GDP aside, it is also seen that some countries that banned tobacco saw a sudden rise in the selling of tobacco in the black market. It does not solve our problem instead it increases.

No doubt tobacco is injurious to our health but if we look in a broader way then even fast food is also injurious to health that doesn't mean we should ban all types of fast food. It is individuals' choice to decide what they want to eat and what not.

So, according to me instead of banning tobacco, we should raise awareness among people about the safety limits and harmful effects of tobacco.

In my perspective, tobacco should be banned in India. Especially youth, they are the pillars of our country as we all know. Because it not only affects human health but also the growth of a country.

As a coin has two sides, a tobacco ban has both advantages as well as disadvantages. The main disadvantage is it may decrease the GDP and it slightly leads to unemployment for some workers and the advantage is better growth of the country.

-Thank you.

Tobacco is a cancer to society. It not only affects the respiratory ability of the individual but also destroys the entire body in the long run. It should be made inaccessible to people as soon as possible.

In my opinion, the young generation gets more attracted towards it and no one to stop them they are doing themselves by hiding from their parents which impacts their studies, work, and physical and mental health. Young generations are the pillars of development So, be careful because Health is wealth.

Yes, I agree with the statement. Tobacco should be banned in India because it is so harmful to people and also it is harmful and affects the surrounding people. I have a small idea if anyone uses tobacco they have to go to jail for one year. If we implement this all teenage people will be afraid to use tobacco.

Yes, ofcourse, tobacco is harmful. But initiatives should be done by the government by restricting some aged people as well as completely smoking in public places and banning the licenses of tobacco producers partly.
