Tobacco must be banned. Yes or No.

Hello everyone,

Yes, we should ban tobacco in India as it is harmful.

Most of the youngsters who are studying are habituated by these and when they are under pressure, anxiety about any problem, they are consuming tobacco, which leads to lung cancer and other health issues. Most of the teenagers are also habituated, and they feel like it's a mandatory thing to do in day-to-day life the people around the person may also be affected There are many cases who spoiled their bright features. Some families lost their children it's so pathetic, our generation is pacing day by day.

So, We must ban tobacco.

According to me, tobacco should definitely be banned because it is extremely dangerous for our health. Not only the person who smokes, but even the people around them suffer due to passive smoking, which is equally harmful.

Some participants mentioned the economic impact of banning tobacco. But I believe that if people are not healthy or do not even have a life, then economy and growth become meaningless.

Instead of an immediate full ban, the government can take practical steps like increasing awareness campaigns, putting stronger warning advertisements, and reducing the easy availability of tobacco products. If production and supply are controlled, over time people will automatically consume less. So, I strongly believe that public health must be the priority, and tobacco should be gradually banned.

Good everyone.

As my point of view, tobacco must be banned because it is very dangerous for our health. I know some people are addicted and they are trying to move on, but they can't because of addiction so the best option is that the government should make some natural candy or medicine which helps to move away from tobacco. It is very dangerous it can cause death. Government have to work on this topic first because not necessary for today, but also for future generations, also motivate from this thing. So, in my point of view, it should be banned.

Hi everyone;.

In my point of view, yes it should be banned. Nowadays the youngsters also addicted by the way of using tobaccos so they are spoiling their lives so thats why the goverment should take a decision to banned tobaccos.

In my opinion, tobacco must be banned as it is very harmful to human beings. The Government should take steps to aware the people through health awareness campaigns and it should also build Rehab centres for tobacco addicted people.

TOBACCO in nowadays there are many peoples has addict from this habit because the peoples do not food from the survival but the tobacco is not survival because the tobacco is very important for a many peoples I'm not interested in this habit but this will be predicted from the humans it is very important one interested peoples to help for me.

According to my point of view, tobacco must not be banned in India because it affects the economy of our country.

So, it is true it is injurious to health but tobacco is not harmful people use it and the harmful things if people control themselves then it's not harmful to them and they can save their life.

Tobacco is injuries to health. Many people are addicted to tobacco. But sudden change of this system affect more on economic system. Tobacco leads to cancer and astama. If the government improves the taxes on tobacco there may chances to safe some families.
