Smoking is a major cause of serious illness and death throughout the world today. In the interest of public health, governments should ban cigarettes and other tobacco products. Do you agree or disagree?

Recently, banning tobacco products has become a controversial issue around the world. Some people argue that these products and cigarettes should be prohibited because they are the main reason for the modern global health crisis. I agree with

this

argument; in

this

essay, I will discuss my point of view thoroughly. The increase in tobacco consumers leads to an increase in the individual and social financial burden. Purchasing these drug products represents a financial burden on the individual and national income. Since individuals spend much money on cigarettes,

for instance

, they suffer to fulfil their domestic and social needs.

That is

why many tobacco consumers represent a burden on their governments.

Smokers

seek financial aid for their domestic needs and health issues, which result from smoking. Governments,

therefore

, should seek to ban cigarettes and legislate a law that punishes

smokers

by paying more taxes than other citizens.

Moreover

, smoking leads to the destruction of public health. The medical treatment that

smokers

require is often expensive. According to the WHO, smoking is the paramount cause of

diseases

such

as lung cancer and heart fatal

diseases

. These

diseases

need a remarkable amount of money and medical services to be cured.

Consequently

, with the spread of these

diseases

among citizens, there will be a lack of productivity and medical support for common non-

smokers

, who deserve governmental medical treatment.

Thus

, laws should prohibit smoking and exclude

smokers

from receiving public medical services for free. In conclusion, in my opinion, smoking should be banned around the world and especially in developing countries. If countries succeed in legislating laws to ban

this

source of fatal illnesses, they will achieve high productive aims and be able to develop socially, financially and medically.
