Hello Everyone
The question of whether tobacco should be banned is complex and involves various considerations, including health, economics, personal freedom, and societal impact.
The sudden ban could promote or lead to the rise of the illegal tobacco trade, making it harder to regulate and increasing crime rates.
In my opinion make strict regulations rather than an outright ban, such as higher taxes, restrictions on advertising, and public smoking bans to reduce tobacco use without fully prohibiting it.

Hello everyone,
We all know nowadays many people are using tobacco and cigarettes that the reason they are suffering from many health issues like Cancer. The government should Stop the use of tobacco and cigarettes. We also know many people use tobacco but they can't leave that reason they are destroying their lives and society. And it is promoted through advertising.
In my opinion, advertisements of tobacco should be banned in India and tobacco cigarette manufacturing companies should be closed down.

Yes, I strongly agree that tobacco should be banned. The products added in all tobaccos are very life-threatening in the long run. In the context of India, many people have started to consume tobacco since they were youngsters especially teenagers are being slaves to it.
Another important point is that it is very hazardous to health and shortens our life spans.

In my perspective, strictly banning tobacco and cigarettes may lead to consequences.
For example, Due to harsh rules, people might seek alternative, illegal sources, which could lead to even more serious issues. Instead, we should start by taking gradual steps. One approach could be increasing taxes on tobacco and prohibiting its use in public places. This way, we slowly reduce tobacco consumption. Additionally, reducing the cultivation of tobacco crops would help create an impact. It's important to raise awareness about the health risks, such as cancer, associated with tobacco use, so people understand its harmful effects. Over time, as the public becomes more aware, stricter regulations or even a complete ban could be implemented. This step-by-step approach will likely be more effective in reducing tobacco use.

Hello everyone!
While we've discussed the pros and cons of a complete tobacco ban, we've overlooked an important point: the broader issue of narcotics. Alcohol, in the form of beer and wine, and other substances also pose significant health risks.
When considering a ban, we must be mindful of the potential economic impact on those employed in the tobacco industry. A complete ban could lead to substantial unemployment.
To mitigate these concerns, I propose a more targeted approach. Banning tobacco and narcotics in public spaces like malls, cinemas, and other areas where exposure to secondhand smoke or substance abuse can harm others is a reasonable step.
However, a complete ban might be too drastic, especially given the potential economic consequences.

Yes, tobacco must be banned in any country because it is harmful to the body. If you take too much you can be lost your body. We know that health is wealth so why do I take this at anymore? People do not have the common sense that taking tobacco is harmful to our lungs and the whole part of our body. Instead, they have to take good eatable things like fruits, milk, dry fruits, etc. We have many things to take which are good for our bodies. This is that type of addiction, which is gradually increases with time.

Hello everyone, myself Sonu Kumar.
My Topic is : Is Tobacco is boon or ban?
Let us start with the topic.
I am in favour of the ban on Tobacco.
Let us explain why a ban on tobacco nowadays is necessary for society as well as youth.
The first point is Health hazards: The serious consequences which can occur from the inhale of tobacco is various diseases like lung cancer, skin disease, mouth cancer etc.
Economic impact: As well as the continuing tobacco which can greatly impact on economy, the tobacco owners are producing in larger firms but as the other side the people who were continuously consumed face hospital bills which are much larger it can largely affect them.
Addiction: The first thing, if tobacco is addiction tobacco, is just like a symptom of the flu, it fails as much faster in the environment. Nowadays the youth are easily addicted towards this.
So, I conclude my topic I would agree that tobacco is a necessary ban in India. Thank you.

Good evening, my name is Akanksha Singh.
Today's group discussion is "Tobacco must be banned. Yes or no?".
I sincerely apologize if my thoughts may hurt anyone's sentiments, but in my opinion, banning tobacco is not the solution to the problem. I completely agree with the harmful effects of consuming tobacco. However, if we ban tobacco today, people might turn to other addictive substances tomorrow. This is not a sustainable solution.
If the government hasn’t banned tobacco so far, there must be some reason for it. While I’m not exactly aware of them, certain benefits have probably prevented such a ban. I have never encountered any widespread demand or protests for banning tobacco, either.
As for those who are already addicted, even if we manage to help them quit one substance today, they might turn to another tomorrow. Some drugs are even used in medicines, so we cannot simply ban everything.
Instead, we should focus on creating awareness about the harmful effects of excessive tobacco use. People must understand how damaging it can be for themselves and their families. It’s not just tobacco—no one should consume any addictive substance.
If someone does choose to consume such substances, they must ensure they do not become addicted, as addiction is a very harmful thing.

Hello everyone.
I say that tobacco should be banned and the immediate action may affect the people who are working in the tobacco industry.
So step-by-step action is the best one. First, we should stop advertising about harmful products we should tell people how harmful it is if you use these kinds of products. People feel scared of using these products. So, we should build a strong and impactful advertisement. It causes various illnesses like cancer, skin disease and many more. We should make people aware of the dangers of using such products. Nowadays youngsters are getting more addicted to it. The government must provide strict rules and create a law for using these products. We should stop selling in petty shops, malls, and shops near schools. And this may bring a little change to the environment.
