Tobacco, mainly in the form of cigarettes, is one of the most widely-used drugs in the sorld. Over a billion adults legally smoke tobacco every day. The long term health costs are high – for smokers themselves, and for the wider community in terms of health care costs and lost productivity.
Do governments have a legitimate role to legislate to protect citizens from the harmful effects of their decisions to smoke, or are such decisions up to the individual?
Most firms, organizations and companies as well as government impose restrictions on smoking in public places and work places. Some people believe smoking should not be banned because it helps people to relax from their stressful lives. However, it is argued smoking should be banned as it is harmful to smokers and non-smokers as well.
Smoking is injurious to health. One cigarette contains more than 6000 chemical substances. So, when a person smokes all the chemical substances get into his body thus leads to harmful diseases like asthma and lungs cancer. Moreover, Smoking costs government millions of dollars because of the cost of treatment for smoking related problems. According to the recent report in india, 20% of people are killed each year in road accidents and 10% of people die of smoking.
Furthermore, it reduces the lifespan of people, especially, of chain-smokers. Recent research shows even non-smokers can suffer from health problems if they spend longs hours with people who smoke.In addition, smokers inhale only 25% and exhale 75% of chemical substances which affects non-smokers.
Nevertheless, Smoking also helps people to relax from their mental pressure and strains. It also increases concentration.
To put it in a nutshell, the world would be better without cigarette. However, the decision of whether to smoke or not is an individual’s choice. People should not smoke in the public places. However, they should use smoking area for smoking.
