Hello friends.

My self Rakesh.

I think tobacco must be banned, there are so many reason so many life spoil there life, many people get addicted as they can never leave that it very dangerous. I think this fact we already know, but I want to tell you new things when I say it must need to be banned. Many friends say after, no there is no need to banned because India gets more value tax from tobacco cigarettes if we make meaning of it tell our India to depend upon tobacco tax really? I don't understand in my opinion we no need for tax by this tobacco.

Because this money has no value. We need to think of our people not for GDP because I know GDP decrease but we can do something for that I am sure but many people have to think about this big problem. Guys, I hope you understand my point of view. Because we only invest money in advertising only like smoking is injuries to health it's a bloody sheet we are doing. We have to think about it.

Yes, I agree that tobacco must be banned. Because it is dangerous and hazardous for our health. Even though warning has been written on tobacco packets or shops selling tobacco people are buying it. Either they are not reading the warning or they are so addicted that they consume tobacco. So the only solution to this is rather than giving warning ban tobacco.

This is the much-needed step for healthy India. It causes cancer which is the disease that is difficult to cure and requires a lot of money which many of the people of our country don't have an ample amount. So they obviously die but when we can stop them by banning tobacco then why shouldn't we do it? Tobacco definitely should be banned.

There is saying that precaution is better than cure so this is the precautionary step that India should take to create healthy India.

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.

According to me tobacco should not banned if it's banned then it will sell in black.

The person who is addicted to tobacco will not eat food but consume tobacco then he is ready to buy at any cost. if tobacco sales were in double rate then he prefers to it only. Because it was dangerous for him he can do everything.

For example, in the Covid lockdown period; tobacco rates were double the rate at that time also the public purchased and consumed it.

If it's banned, the addicted people will buy it at high rates. I think it should not be banned and I suggest that strict rules be created for sellers that not be sold to minors and youth.

Banning tobacco is not the solution.

In my point of view, everyone people know tobacco is injurious to our health.

Causes for cancer, brain tumor. , Disease for lungs, liver but then people getting tobacco.

Every one pocket of tobacco advertisements to injurious for health.

In India, lots of people depend on tobacco employment.

Tobacco is banned lots of people are unemployable.

In tobacco help to increase the GDP.

Hello friends.

As we all know our today's topic is tobacco must be banned or not. In my opinion, tobacco must be banned because there is nothing positive in having tobacco but having tobacco has only negative effects on one who take tobacco, for example, tobacco damage the teeth, causes mouth cancer, lungs cancer, breathing problems, loss of stamina, it is also waste of money. The addition of tobacco is spreading very quickly among teenagers even the boys of 15-16 years got addicted of cigarettes, tobacco, drugs, alcohol. The government should take strong steps to stop tobacco by banning tobacco, aware kids and people, strictly stop the business of tobacco in the black market. The person who got addicted can stop taking tobacco by the help of Nasha Mukti kender.

Thanks.

According to me, tobacco should be banned if the Government Could fight with it's consequences. E.G. After banning tobacco many people will lose their jobs, the government will not get revenue from it and people who are addicted to tobacco, their mental health will get worse and then they will take tobacco illegally. So it will increase job crisis and bad activities.

So if the Government Has some alternatives plan for employment and Government Can aware of people about health issues by tobacco and makes rehab centres for a large no. Of people then government Should ban the tobacco.

But if there is no pre-planning for it then government Shouldn't be banned the tobacco.

Thank you.

Hello everyone.

In my point of view, tobacco should not be banned suddenly because too many people are addicted to it. If we ban them suddenly, it will cause their both mental and physical health. Also, many farmers are cultivating tobacco.

By banning, it will impact their life. That's why first we have to create awareness about tobacco's side effects to the people. And then we should reduce its production. After that, we can restrict it completely.

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,

In My opinion, tobacco should not be banned in India. Not Because I am consuming it but it can create worse conditions in India.

First of all, I agree that it causes lung cancer, causes pollution and also 600millions of trees are cut over the year to make cigarettes,

But until and unless people are not educated they will consume tobacco anyway. We can take the example of Alcohol banned in Bihar, Recently their government banned alcohol but result of a network is created for the illegal smuggling of alcohol from neighborhood states and also the country.

Also, many people died due to the consumption of poisonous alcohol.

The second thing is that tobacco company contributes 11 lakh crore rupees in Indian GDP which is a huge amount.

So instead of banning tobacco in India, we can educate people with different campaigns and also bring alternatives of for tobacco-addicted people.

Thank you.
