Tobacco must be banned. Yes or No.

Hello everyone!

From my perspective, the government should ban tobacco. Nowadays, youngsters are consuming tobacco for joy and happiness; they don't know the serious consequences and impacts of consuming tobacco.
So, strictly prohibited for those under 18 and takes severe action if they consume tobacco. The government should spread awareness to people who consume tobacco. Most people are deeply addicted to smoking. We have one life. So, live happily and healthily. Our country has become tobacco-free. It will save all families' lives. #Stay Healthier and Happier.

Thank you.

Good morning, everyone. I am Santosh Mishra. Thanks for giving me this opportunity to counter this problem,

In my point of view, tobacco must be banned in our society because it's harmful to our health and causes many diseases. You know that cancer generally happens due to tobacco, not only tobacco, but also many alcoholic things.

A simple explanation that I want to give you is that we generally buy a 10 rupee tobacco or other alcoholic thing that's not much more than 1000rs, but if you think it deeply a 10 rupee tobacoo cause a disease and the amount of that disease is at least 100000.

So why we use tobacco and why do we push our lives to death as we know it clearly.

So, according to me, not only tabacco but also alcoholic things are must be banned in our society.

Thank you.

In my opinion, Tobacco should be banned.

*It helps to youths of India, below 30years of age whom were consuming excess amount tobacco in their daily life. Excess amount of tobacco can cause cancer like diseases. Our youths are the future of our country.

Future of our country has to be brighten.

In my point of view, tobacco should ban in India as we all know that it causes very dangerous effects on our health. Many people every year lost their lives because of it. Tobacco causes cancer and cancer is a very dangerous disease. The death rate of this is very high.

So it should ban in India.

In my point of view, there should be a complete ban on tobacco because it is injurious to our health and the leading cause of many fatal diseases like brain tumours, cancer and lung disease.

So a huge campaign has to start so that they can know the merits and demerits it.

There is no brainer in saying that tobacco should be banned.
Firstly, it is harmful to the person who consumes it.
Secondly, the labour included in making this tobacco consists of most women and children workers supporting child labour along with low compensation. It is the most common cause of cancer in people.
It is not ruining just the present generation but also the upcoming generation which is the driver of the success of the country. They are mostly influenced by celebrities who irrationally promote these kinds of products through advertisements. It is sad to see that there is no regulation to advertise harmful products like tobacco in India.

The particles in tobacco smoke irritate your throat and lungs and cause a smoker's cough this makes you produce more mucus and damages lung tissue. Ammonia and formaldehyde irritate your eyes nose and throat.

Cancer-causing chemicals make your cells grow too fast or abnormally- which can result in Cancer.

Hi everyone.

Let's further discuss this topic, whether tobacco is banned or not.

In my opinion, banning tobacco is not a great solution because it plays a major role in our GDP. And about the tax rate, it is already very high. This part goes to the government and, in other ways, benefits the people through pensions and so on. I also add one thing, the government should add such compliances like CSR initiatives for every tobacco manufacturing for the welfare of people. This must be strictly followed; if not, your licenses will be revoked, and you will be unable to conduct such business in the future.

Good evening everyone,

Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

The topic is about whether tobacco is banned or not.

In my point of view, every problem has two sides, one is positive, and the other is negative.

The global level impact of this tobacco is that 100 million people can use tobacco, 45.7 million employees work in tobacco drug product manufacturing, and 20 million farmers depend on this.

And, 8 million people die globally every year, and 13.5 million second-hand smokers will die every year.

Every solution gives benefits for all,

Tobacco banning will give benefits to public health.

So, in my view, the solution to this is to slowly ban tobacco usage and give alternative jobs to tobacco harvesting farmers.

Thank you.
