Hello everyone,

I think we all know that tobacco should be banned because of the harmful effects by consuming it but after knowing that chewing of tobacco is a primary reason for mouth cancer, tooth decay, etc till the Government is not doing any think or taking action against the company or brands which are manufacturing this poison also we can see that nowadays pan masala companies are endorsing celebrities to promote their products in publics, rajanigandha and other companies making perception in the public mind that these are the thing look cool while consuming, the government is also seeing all this from a decade and still didn't take any strict action against these companies because a huge amount of revenue generate these companies and some percentage goes to our economy to be precise the tobacco industry's contribution to the value of production in the Indian economy is 0.32%.

The tobacco industry's contribution to the value of consumption in the Indian economy is 1.05%.

The tobacco industry's contribution to employment in the Indian economy is 2.2%.

The tobacco industry's contribution to the tax revenue of the Indian government is 0.99%.

At last, I would like to conclude that banning tobacco is not a just solution but we have to make some new policies for the usage of tobacco and the government has to take some serious measures to control the consumption of tobacco among adults as well as teenagers.

Hello everyone.

@Sourav
As you said, if we ban tobacco, the victim may alter to another substance like that. Yeah, that's true, it depends on the individual. Why can't he/she be in good substance? Not everyone will addicted to another bad substance in my view. So harmful Tobacco must be banned to avoid severe health hazards and addiction and also sir mentioned that we can create awareness to control. Already in alcohol and cigar packs, the company mentioned the harmful effects with disgusting images. After seeing those warnings, many of them still consume those things. So there is no point in creating awareness of those things. Obviously, Tobacco must be banned.

Hello everyone, in my opinion on this topic, we all know tobacco consumption is not good for our health, but many people are addicted to these substances, because of other people who are addicted to tobacco, if we banned tobacco it may be harmful in our society because those people are addicted they might be turn another substance, and also its impact their physical and mental life, so tobacco banned is not the solution, but we can generate awareness how harmful it, and also govt should create some rules and regulation.

Hi Everyone, this feels like so one sided with the only choice being yes. And I don't even feel the real need to go all out and defend it or explain it because it's that obvious to the whole world. It kills you, makes you an addict and grabs the opportunity to live a quality life along with your loved ones. Death may be a exaggerated result but health issues in one form or other can be guaranteed as a part of consumption of tobacco.

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.

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, 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.

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!

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.
