Complete ban on tobacco and tobacco products for human consumption
Given that one million people die worldwide annually, due to health issues caused by tobacco consumption, it is evident that tobacco is a major health hazard.
The nicotine content in tobacco is addictive and causes cancer, which eventually kills people. The need of the hour is to completely ban the sale of tobacco in any form and make tobacco sale illegal and punishable by law. Heavy penalties should be levied on anyone caught buying or selling tobacco.
Volunteer groups should be involved to spread awareness about the legalities and ill effects of tobacco use and provide support in terms of de-addiction services. The government, volunteer organizations and people themselves need to come together to fight this social menace.
