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.

Yes, I strongly agree that tobacco should be banned. The products added in all tobaccos are very life-threatening in the long run. In the context of India, many people have started to consume tobacco since they were youngsters especially teenagers are being slaves to it.
Another important point is that it is very hazardous to health and shortens our life spans.

Hello everyone,
We all know nowadays many people are using tobacco and cigarettes that the reason they are suffering from many health issues like Cancer. The government should Stop the use of tobacco and cigarettes. We also know many people use tobacco but they can't leave that reason they are destroying their lives and society. And it is promoted through advertising.
In my opinion, advertisements of tobacco should be banned in India and tobacco cigarette manufacturing companies should be closed down.

Hello Everyone
The question of whether tobacco should be banned is complex and involves various considerations, including health, economics, personal freedom, and societal impact.
The sudden ban could promote or lead to the rise of the illegal tobacco trade, making it harder to regulate and increasing crime rates.
In my opinion make strict regulations rather than an outright ban, such as higher taxes, restrictions on advertising, and public smoking bans to reduce tobacco use without fully prohibiting it.

Hello everyone.
In my point of view tobacco is not good for over life. Some people are addicted and they face many issues like cancer.
I think tobacco companies are banned if no product is sold where the people buy this product.
So the company should be banned.

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 not good for the human body, it can cause various illnesses such as cancer, lung infections, and mental health issues, everybody knows this still they consume it, i feel that is the saddest part. Also, the government needs to take against the pan masala advertisement, which is another way to sell tobacco. In my perspective, it is one of the most dangerous things the human body can consume and it should be banned.

Hello all,
Tobacco causes cancer. It is not good for our health. On tobacco product packaging, the owner clearly states that it is harmful to our bodies. It creates problems for the lungs. People know all these things but still ignore them. They do not understand the real meaning of life. " I think tobacco should have been banned.

=> Yes, Tobacco Should Be Banned:
1. Health Benefits: Tobacco use is a leading cause of numerous serious health conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses. Banning it could significantly reduce these health issues and save lives.
2. Economic Impact: The healthcare costs associated with treating tobacco-related illnesses are enormous. Reducing or eliminating tobacco use could lead to significant savings in healthcare expenses.
3. Environmental Concerns: Tobacco farming and production can have detrimental effects on the environment, including deforestation, pesticide use, and pollution. Banning tobacco could help mitigate these environmental impacts.
4. Addiction and Youth: Tobacco is highly addictive, and its use often starts in adolescence. A ban could prevent young people from starting to use tobacco and help reduce addiction rates.
5. Secondhand Smoke: Tobacco smoke poses serious health risks to non-smokers who are exposed to it. A ban could protect public health by eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke.
=> No, Tobacco Should Not Be Banned:
1. Personal Freedom: Adults have the right to make their own choices, even if those choices involve health risks. Banning tobacco could be seen as infringing on personal freedom and autonomy.
2. Economic Impact: The tobacco industry provides jobs and economic benefits, including taxes and business revenues. A ban could have significant economic repercussions, including job losses and decreased tax revenues.
3. Black Market: Prohibiting tobacco might lead to the creation of a black market, which could be difficult to control and might exacerbate related issues such as crime and unregulated products.
4. Harm Reduction: Instead of an outright ban, harm reduction strategies such as promoting vaping or smokeless tobacco could offer a less harmful alternative while still addressing health concerns.
5. Cultural and Social Factors: In some cultures, tobacco has social and cultural significance. A ban might not take these factors into account and could face significant resistance.

Hi all.
Tobacco causes cancer, tobacco owners write this slogan on the tobacco paper and people know that it is very harmful to the lungs, and other parts of our body but they ignore that and eat tobacco very casually they don't fear for their families, because life gets people only one time but they don't know the rights means of the life,
According to me, tobacco is banned properly in the whole world, not only in India.
Thank you all.
