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 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.

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.

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.

According to me tobacco should not be banned by the government because it contributes a large part of funds to the government and it helps our economy to boost not directly but indirectly. Moreover, banning these tobacco and narcotic companies would somehow decrease the growth of the economy and the government will have to suffer that loss because a lot of taxes are collected through these companies.
However, there should be a law or any kind of rule to keep teenagers away from tobacco addiction. Teenagers are not mature enough to know what would be the consequences of taking these tobaccos into use. So, there should be a rule of using tobacco, Government should impose a law on the company to not produce and sell the tobacco to the young people of the country.
In addition to this, if young people keep using tobacco then their body get addicted to that and even if they want to quit the use of tobacco their body won't allow them to do so.
Hence, it is extremely important to impose some rules and regulations on the narcotic companies so that we can save the Indian youth from these bad addictions.

I don't think there is a need to ban tobacco, it is definitely bad for health and it also creates revenue for the country but in the end, it is just a product which is not healthy for us, just like many others. There is an argument to be made that butter is equally bad for health, but we cannot ban butter, can we? It is just a product that people consume. Even if it's not good for health people have the right to choose what they put in their body as long as they are well informed about the consequences of their actions. I'll conclude by saying that there is no need to change how tobacco is sold, other than enforcing the legal age of consumption.

Friends as topic is tobacco must be banned or not.
First of all, I would like to highlight the importance of tobacco in terms of the economy. In India, many people are addicted to tobacco. Now coming to the important point everything has two aspects. As tobacco contributes higher tax to the govt and helps in India's economy. But If we see other aspects so it is injurious to health and one of the reasons for cancer. And also at young age youth are facing heart disease and fatigue due to inhaling tobacco. Tobacco is harmful not only to health but also to societies, and the environment. So, my point of view is that tobacco should not be banned besides it should be provided in limits with some norms.

In my opinion, tobacco must be banned because many people lost their lives and suffered many harmful problems including (Asthma Cancer etc just because of excess consumption and they are habitual of using it government would not take any strict action to stop the demand for these injuries product because it's their other source of income that's why they don't do anything just keep the supply to make the people fool.

Hello friends,
My opinion on this topic is;
* Tobacco should not be banned because it will impact on our Indian economy.
* The tobacco is exported to other countries also in a very high range so it will affect our economy.
* Another thing is that already one pack of tobacco is written that is injurious to health so every people know and it depends on them and their life. They have their rights they have to take it or not.
* As tobacco is harmful so awareness should be there and limitations.
* Tobacco is not harmful humans are making tobacco harmful for their lives by taking unlimitedly
Anything which humans will take in exceed will harm. So tobacco should not be banned in my opinion.
