Every 24 hrs, the death caused by smoking cigarette surpasses the number of 800 people.
This is very similar to the World Trade Center Attack(9-11) happening more than 6 times every single day!
WHY NO COUNTRY BANS CIGARETTE?
Nearly 70 million people die everywhere in the world due to smoking, thereby making cigarette one of the most destructive things on our planet leaving behind AK47, dynamites & atom bomb also, Yet no country bans It why?
THE CONTRADICTORY DECISION:
In many countries, we see the government launching campaigns like 'Quit Tobacco' Or 'Anti-Smoking Movements', but at the same time we also know that the permission to manufacture & to sell tobacco to the people is also given by the same government by imposing huge amount of taxes which has a great contribution in the economy of that country.
Every Year the world produces more than 6 million tones of cigarettes, that results in a big profit margin which goes way up to certain billions of dollars due to which we see a huge contribution of the tobacco companies in the government budget which becomes very crucial for the development & the survival of that particular country, making the tobacco companies untouchable by any supreme authority.
In fact, tobacco companies also help in financing the political campaigns of certain political parties in order to get assured immunity & no chances of tobacco ban in the near future.
Not only the government plays a contradictory role in this field, but a lot of famous people are also paid a huge amount of money, to advertise the product's of these companies in tv, films, commercials e.t.c. These people include actors, professionals like footballers, cricketers, etc, because they have a lot of fan following which generally results in increasing the sales of tobacco by introducing new people for the addiction.
But Why Do We Smoke?
READ THE WORD CAREFULLY: NICOTINE
This is the substance that enters your body every time you smoke a cigarette, which gives you an instant feel of pleasure thereby making you an addict for it. Nicotine is more addictive than marijuana, cocaine & morphine also.
It is so addictive that even smart & intelligent people cant say no to it, once they get addictive despite of knowing that it can lead to their death also.
Every time you smoke a cigarette, you are not only burning the tobacco but you are also allowing 4000 dangerous chemicals to enter your body & to bring mutation in your cells which further leads to the development of cancer cells(Out of these 4000 chemical 42 of them are known cancer-causing elements also known as carcinogens like carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, DDT, fungicides, e.t.c)
So How Does the Government Helps Us?
The Government helps us by printing some deadly images & texts on the cigarette packs, which no one pays attention to. So finally the government leaves every adult to decide whether to smoke or not, thereby giving a boost to all the tobacco manufacturers in the world. Thus concluding indirectly :
.....................A Smoke-Free World Seems Like An Impossible Thing..........................

Government not banning tobacco products that's why they have to spend 30 billion dollors on Healthcare.
Correct brother, That is why I have described it as a Contradictory Decision of the government,
which is to take huge tax from one hand & spend a few pennies from the other hand.
Nice post, in my opinion it should ban for ever in every country.
Thank you buddy for visiting my profile,
Yes it should be banned, but it will never be banned by any government,
The people of that countrywill have to come forward about quitting it.
Just like the quote "Be the Change you want to see in the world".
Nice though dude..
Thanks for reading buddy.
see the main reason why govt isn't banning tobaco products is that it gives a lot of revenue in form of taxes. If we all indians start paying income tax (which is currently given by very low % of population) the govt will ban them . by the way cong. on joining steemit. i upvoted ur blog ;)
Oh thankyou so much buddy,
Actually your idea is very nice about banning tobacco products, but do you really think that all the people of India would pay Income tax someday, I think this is a bigger dream than banning tobacco products,lmao!
& I will surely read your post, but dont mention the voting things, these will bring your reputation down
Government earn million of dollars from tobacco and gutkha by apply the tax
Yes that is why they don't ban them, because that will have a direct impact on the government funds irrespective of the fact that millions die every year.
Because it is one of the higher income source of govt .
Another one is it is a fashion and edition by many people to feel relax
Are you agree with me ?
Yes you are absolutely right my friend, Now a days its a style statement for many people specially teenagers.
These type of things should be banned but it can't be happened because behind thia there is a huge mafia who rule us.
Ofcourse a lot of Big Players are well settled behind this industry & they will never ever try to ban these things because of the easy money involved in these industries.
There Isn't a Valid Reason For Cigarette to Be Sold In Market... M I Right Bro #Super20Sqaud
Yes, of course, you are right brother, But until & unless the people of any particular country come in against of these tobacco companies it seems a very impossible task.
Yeah it's very useful topic bro it's well never happened i think
Yes you are most probably right, But its an optimistic topic which can definitely be used for debate.
