According to me, smoking and drinking is injures health. And we also see many ads about it. Some may follow and some may not. For this only solution is to stop producing it. So, I final point is to ban tobacco.

In my opinion, tobacco should not completely ban in India because tobacco industries play a major role in our country's economy. But tobacco is very harmful to our health. If you start consuming tobacco there is a high chance of getting many health diseases like cancer and asthma. So instead of completely banning tobacco, the government should have to increase taxes on the manufacturing company and make a rule for youth who are under 25 not having the right to take tobacco and start creating a say not to tobacco campaign.

Hello everyone,

In my opinion, tobacco must be banned because it causes cancer and health damage to both those who consume it and those who do not. When we are in a place where people consume tobacco, it damages our health even if we don't take it, and it ultimately causes damage to society.

I agree that tobacco and other narcotic products play a vital role in the country's economy, so they must be banned in a scheduled way. The government has to restrict them to particular age groups and they should be banned in a proper way with the necessary guidelines and advertising about disadvantages and all.

Hello friends,

In my opinion, a complete ban on tobacco would lead to great economic consequences for a nation as the tobacco industry contributes significantly towards revenue generation for a nation.

But seeing the harmful effects of tobacco especially on the youth, I think the government should take strict steps towards banning tobacco for people less than 25 years of age. Also, many forms of tobacco drugs are available at a very cheap price. So, the government should take steps and impose heavy taxes on drugs like tobacco. Then it will become unavailable to many people and would eventually reduce the use of tobacco.

Hello Friends;.

TOBACCO must be BANNED; in the point of my view, tobacco must be banned because we know that it is injured to health. If any people are addicted to tobacco then they do not get rid of it. Many people take tobacco only in fashion and after some time they addicted to it due to tobacco.

In my opinion Tobacco must be banned for the welfare of community. We all know that Apart from COVID, The tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats the world.

We should not forget that tobacco killed more than 8 million people every year.

By consuming tobacco not only adversely affect our health but also can end our career/life. Tobacco is an addictive substance, Most of the teenagers use tobacco at such a young age for showing off. They soon become addicted to that.

Looking over the matter, I personally suggest that government should act strictly on the use of tobacco and should promote other business opportunities as there are many alternative things that can be used instead of tobacco.

Thank you.

In my opinion, at present tobacco is a source of revenue for the government to make our states as well as a nation more developed, but looking into the wider aspect it affects us a lot according to the current scenario most of the teenagers are trapped into this by consuming it because of which they are now suffering from many of the diseases related to the mouth also from the severe disorder that is *mouth cancer*, as our country having the largest youth population in the worldwide with an average age group of 28, so it is definitely destroying our youth population.

So, in my conclusion, I would say that at present there are so many threats spread due to it, so, our government should take harsh action towards it and impose harsh laws as much as they can.

Jai Hind.

In my opinion, Tobacco should not be banned. Because Tobacco companies help our governments in many ways like paying their taxes correctly and which helps to run the nation properly. But a law must come, That says tobacco should not be sold to people who are less than 25 years old.

If this type of law comes we can hope to see a reduction in the consumption of Tobacco among People. Most teenagers fall into the traps of tobacco. They do it because their immature minds think that using tobacco in front of people is real Heroism, so they do it. But after some time when they understood the real situation, Tobacco would take control over them. They must have gotten addicted to this. Even though their mind is not willing to accept tobacco but their body can't avoid it.

Hi this is Mansi Gusain,

Tobacco should not be banned because if it happens it will lead to the deaths of many consumers. It is on a person's needs and situation.
We can make people aware of its harmfulness but its in his/her own to stop or not. It makes people release stress just for some time but it does.
We should make it more of an inner potential to stop consumption.
Thank you.

Tobacco is a highly addictive substance that has been linked to several serious health problems, including lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that tobacco use is responsible for over 7 million deaths each year. In light of these concerns, many countries, including India, have implemented measures aimed at reducing tobacco consumption, such as increasing taxes on tobacco products, implementing smoking bans in public places, and limiting advertising.

On the other hand, there are arguments against a complete ban on tobacco.

For example, the tobacco industry is a major source of employment and revenue in some countries, including India, and a ban on tobacco could result in significant economic consequences, such as job losses and decreased tax revenue. Additionally, it may be difficult to enforce a complete ban on tobacco, and there are concerns that it could lead to a black market for the product.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to ban tobacco is a complex and controversial one that requires consideration of a range of factors, including the health risks associated with tobacco use, the economic impact of a ban, and the feasibility of enforcement.
