Tobacco must be banned. Yes or No.

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.

Tobacco is banned but not in a fast way. Because many of the workers are working in their if we banned then what would they will do?

So in place of this, we can ban it by increasing the prices of Tobacco and cigarettes. As the labour of workers is also understood that I will be banned after some time, so they will start to find new jobs.

As my opinion on this, so everyone please give me your ideas on this GD topic.

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 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.

Good morning everyone.

Today, our topic is “Is tobacco banned in India or not?”.

My point of view on this topic is very simple,
As every coin has two sides. Pros and cons. Tobacco also has advantages and disadvantages from different perspectives.

On one hand, tobacco is harmful. Nowadays, many youths are wasting their lives due to such addictions. Once they start using tobacco, it becomes very difficult for them to quit. It affects their health, career, and future.

On the other hand, banning tobacco can cause a big loss to farmers who depend on tobacco farming for their livelihood. For them, it is a major source of income.

So, tobacco is a complex issue that affects both public health and farmers’ lives.

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.

Hello everyone,

In my opinion, tobacco should be banned.

As we all know, it's the reason for diseases like cancer, yet those who buy tobacco even after knowing what it can cause, it's like paying someone to have a slow poison.

Also, if you have a family to take care of, why poison yourself? Instead of it, save that money for your family.

Even these people cause our environment to be dirty by splitting up in many places.

So, it would be right to ban tobacco.

Hello all,

In India, around 100 million people currently use tobacco, and approximately 45.7 million employees are involved in tobacco manufacturing and allied activities, including nearly 20 million farmers. This clearly indicates that tobacco use and production operate on a very large scale.

Due to this significant dependence, a sudden ban on tobacco may not be practical. Abrupt prohibition could have serious consequences for habitual users, including severe withdrawal effects and behavioural issues. Moreover, an immediate ban would negatively impact farmers and workers whose livelihoods depend on tobacco cultivation and manufacturing.

Therefore, instead of an instant ban, a gradual and phased reduction is a more effective approach. The first step should be to create strong awareness programs, especially targeting young people, to prevent new users from adopting tobacco habits. At the same time, the government should take responsibility for providing alternative employment opportunities and support systems for farmers and workers who rely on the tobacco industry.

By implementing these measures in parallel, India can realistically move toward the goal of a tobacco-free nation. This approach has already shown positive results. For example, in 2015, around 130 million people in India used tobacco, whereas the number has now reduced to approximately 100 million. This decline proves that, with sustained cooperation between the government and the public, India can eventually become a tobacco-free country.

Thank you.
