It has been proved that smoking kills. In some countries it has been made illegal for people to smoke in all public places except in certain areas. All countries should make these rules.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Smoking is injurious to health. Though this statement is written on every cigarette pack, there are increasing number of people that are being addicted to this bad habit. I do think that all countries in the World should discourage smoking as much as they can.

Inhaling tobacco can lead to serious ill effects on the health of an invidual. Lung related diseases are most common in the people that smoke regularly. The person who does not smoke but inhales the smoke exhaled by a smoker also stands great risk of damaged health. Due to these reasons, Government should consider smoking as a serious threat and take appropriate actions. Rules like not allowing citizens to smoke in public areas and limiting the export and import of tobacco help reduce the effects.

Some countries might have limitations on the extent to which they can limit tobacco consumption. The main reasons are the revenue that the tobacco business generates and the ties established with other countries due to the export and import relation. Though these are genuine concerns, Governments should think of ways to come around these and other possible set backs. For instance, instead of growing tobacco, the agricultural department can analyze the soil to determine other possible crops that the land would be fertile for. Further, instead of banning smoking altogether, Governments can take step by step approach starting with huge campaigns against smoking, then restricting the areas with the ultimate goal to ban smoking altogether.

In summary, I believe that any life threatening habit should not be allowed freely. For some countries, it might not be easy to establish regulations against smoking as easily as other countries but I feel there will always be ways around when the country is interested in the welfare of its citizens.
