According to me, tobacco should be banned but I feel it cannot be completely banned. The reason for its complete discontinuation is of course health related which in turn leads to other issues, may it be social or economic.

People get addicted to it, and spend all their money on it, instead of using that money on something productive.

Apart from the money issue, severe health issues like cancer etc also take place. This further destroys the whole family. It doesn't allow a family to grow which in turn hampers the development of the country too. Because many families together make the whole nation.

But on the other hand, the tobacco industry is so big in our country. It gives employment to a big chunk of people. Banning it completely will require a good alternative for these workers too. This has to be very well thought upon.

In my opinion, tobacco should not be banned because it can have a direct impact in lowering the GDP level of the economy and also may result in a decrease in the per capita income of the economy. As India is still a developing country most of the part of India is agrarian economy hence tobacco is the major source of income for many people. Also, I would like to share its cons i.e. Tobacco is not harmful, the problem lies in the way of usage. Anything consumed in abundance is harmful. So before using tobacco, you should keep in mind its causes.

Thank you.

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.

=> Yes, Tobacco Should Be Banned:

1. Health Benefits: Tobacco use is a leading cause of numerous serious health conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses. Banning it could significantly reduce these health issues and save lives.

2. Economic Impact: The healthcare costs associated with treating tobacco-related illnesses are enormous. Reducing or eliminating tobacco use could lead to significant savings in healthcare expenses.

3. Environmental Concerns: Tobacco farming and production can have detrimental effects on the environment, including deforestation, pesticide use, and pollution. Banning tobacco could help mitigate these environmental impacts.

4. Addiction and Youth: Tobacco is highly addictive, and its use often starts in adolescence. A ban could prevent young people from starting to use tobacco and help reduce addiction rates.

5. Secondhand Smoke: Tobacco smoke poses serious health risks to non-smokers who are exposed to it. A ban could protect public health by eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke.

=> No, Tobacco Should Not Be Banned:

1. Personal Freedom: Adults have the right to make their own choices, even if those choices involve health risks. Banning tobacco could be seen as infringing on personal freedom and autonomy.

2. Economic Impact: The tobacco industry provides jobs and economic benefits, including taxes and business revenues. A ban could have significant economic repercussions, including job losses and decreased tax revenues.

3. Black Market: Prohibiting tobacco might lead to the creation of a black market, which could be difficult to control and might exacerbate related issues such as crime and unregulated products.

4. Harm Reduction: Instead of an outright ban, harm reduction strategies such as promoting vaping or smokeless tobacco could offer a less harmful alternative while still addressing health concerns.

5. Cultural and Social Factors: In some cultures, tobacco has social and cultural significance. A ban might not take these factors into account and could face significant resistance.

Today's topic is whether tobacco must be banned, yes or no.

In my opinion, tobacco must bended but we have to see both sides because in tobacco companies, many labourers are working there, so when we close the tobacco company, that also causes unemployment for those people.

So we have to think about them too, and it also gives government funds and the government take 40% taxes from companies, but irrespective of these, we must have to ban tobacco because it causes deadly diseases like asthma, tumours and cancer.

Hi everyone. I'm Magendraboopathy.

Well I'm here to oppose the ban of tobacco because everyone just saying ban with the reason it's injurious to health and that's it, but everyone forget about it's contribution in Indian economy and guess what, whoever consumes tobacco they took it with their own risk and banning tobacco will cost many families lives who works in tobacco related live hood from cultivation to selling it and guess what each tobacco products are heavily taxed and it a gives a descent and reasonable amount for government.
Each and every one knows tobacco is injurious and some may be there who will just potrait me as supporter or tobacco addict. I'm just telling if we ban tobacco we gonna face huge economical crisis.

So, I'm telling no for banning the tobacco.

Yes, tobacco must be banned because poor people have never education therefor they use mostly tobacco in normally as a habit as pr as they are addict, with this, they are overcome into slavery and poorness. So, that's why the tobacco ban is necessary for up-leveling the country.
