Good evening everyone,
In my point of view, tobacco is bad for our health also there are many negative impacts. But suddenly we can't ban tobacco because the sudden ban of tobacco may highly impact the mental state of the consumer who consumes it. Due to it being an addiction, it had a high impact on the consumers. They may take illegal action to get tobacco.
Also, this industry highly contributes to our economy. We can do some that like increasing the price of tobacco periodically. Also, I agree with the harsh point that in India 29 percent of adults consume tobacco. Therefore for government has to action on restrictions on age limits like a minimum of 22 ages.

In my opinion, banning tobacco is not the solution. It can only worsen the scenario.
Firstly, because people can start having more toxic substances as an alternative. Secondly, instant decisions like this will affect the economic growth of our country. Thirdly, words like "Restriction", "Ban" etc automatically trigger the aggression in human mind and as a result tobacco addicted people can go to any level to get the thing they want.
Therefore, one thing the government can do is to increase the price of tobacco products of all brands instead of raising the price of essentials like medicines and sanitary pads. Because the former is a choice but the latter isn't. This way people will decrease their intake of tobacco. Simultaneously there should be awareness campaigns from time to time.

Good morning/afternoon everyone.
My Name is Niraj.
Yes, a ban in tobacco is necessary as it causes lung cancer, and other breathing and mental disorders, causes pollution, and millions of trees are cut to make cigarettes.
In my opinion immediate ban on tobacco will lead to certain other Problems as people will try to get tobacco in illegal ways like smuggling etc. And there is no guarantee that people will stop consuming it.
So instead we should use certain different approaches for example British government imposed a law banning tobacco for those under a certain age and increasing the age limit every year so that eventually younger generation will stop consuming it, educating people about it or reducing the production of tobacco etc.

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.

Hii everyone.
I am Shreya and first of all thanks for giving me this opportunity.
yes, tobacco must be banned. Because it is very harmful for human health.
It causes cancer and many diseases. Tobacco pollutes roads and also the environment.
Using tobacco is bad habit. It is a slow poison that damages the mouth and lungs.
So tobacco must be banned.
Thanks.

The tobacco companies of India are the most profitable organizations that are on peak. This is due to the lack of education for people. The people of India are unaware of the ill effects of tobacco. There are the measures printed on the packet of tobacco but people still consume it. There are various effects of tobacco. The majority of cancer cases are due to this consumption. The government should ban these industries and should start campaigns among people to the awareness.

In my point,
Tobacco causes a lot of injury in the human body as well as mental health and wealth. It does not only affect a tobacco-using person, it affects over all the world, especially children. Nowadays we see a lot of children in hospitals. It's a shame for that situation. The government has to take severe action.

Tobacco can be used in both ways. It can be used for medical purposes. But nowadays it is used as a drug. It can cause cancer. So, it is the responsibility of people to know about the right side of tobacco and don't use it for drugs.

Hello friends,
Banning tobacco may lead to chaos because according to a survey 29%of all adults in India are indulged in consuming it.
According to me, reducing the production of products like tobacco slowly and raising awareness that tobacco does not contain any essential vitamins, or proteins and may lead to cancer may be an effective solution.
