Question

“Smoking is injurious to health”, then why does the government allow selling cigarettes?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Governments enjoy tobacco revenue and are willing to continue to allow disease ... So, as a society, and as health care professionals

Answer 2

Answer:

• Tobacco exacerbates the prevalence of Non communicable diseases which alone contributes to fifty percent of mortality. Tobacco usage is responsible for high mortality around 8–9 lakh person annually. Additionally, as per a report of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the economic cost attributable to diseases from tobacco use in 2011 was Rs 1, 04, 500 crores which was 1.04 per cent of GDP of that year.
• Having a panoramic view of the tobacco menace we only see the economic cost, but when we look closely at the families who may have lost a bread winner to tobacco we can see draining of savings and family wealth in treatment, discontinued education, broken families, alcoholism, depression and the list goes on.
• Although there is no reason as to why Government cannot and should not ban tobacco products and its usage in India, but it appears that Government wants to leave the choice to its citizens. Another reason may be the livelihoods associated with the cultivation and production of tobacco products. A sweeping ban would adversely affect their livelihoods.
