BANNING THE SALE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS MAY HAVE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES. DO YOU THINK ADVANTAGES WEIGH DISADVANTAGES? 

One’s decision is just a concern of him. Smoking and consuming other tobacco products only interest people consuming them, so banning the sale of tobacco products is not a fair thing because of 3 main reasons. To start with, it is true that these products are not friends to human health, but if they are banned, there will come out some versions of them which will not be produced under safe conditions. The new versions of these products will be much more unsanitary than normal products, since the new versions will be produced by illegal ways. No matter how unhealthy they can be, people will have to buy them due to the banning of tobacco products in markets, so their health can be under a great risk, and these illegal products can drag people to death. Secondly, people innately tend to do things forbidden .If selling the tobacco products are banned, they can be more attractive. Hence; people who do not smoke generally can want to smoke cigarettes, pipes psychologically, so this prohibition can turn out an incited thing. Third, people should not be under pressure while deciding a thing that only matters themselves. They can be informed about tobacco products’ harms with emblems on the product’s package, thus deciding whether they want to consume them or not. Briefly, disadvantages of banning the sale of tobacco products weigh advantages.
