Tobacco is a kind of drug. People have been free to use it. Some people think that it should be illegal to use it comparing with other drugs. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What is your opinion?

Every year, thousands of people worldwide die from both smoking

tobacco

and involuntarily breathing it in. Despite

However

believe that there should be a regulation on its use, considering its

Nonetheless

the other hand, works quite well. The government should decide who gets to make it, who sells it, and who it is sold to. There should be controls on

tobacco

regarding potency, packaging, advertising, and a lot of other things.

This

is definitely better than banning a

which leads to organized crime.

Moreover

,

tobacco

has long been a source of money for the governments in many countries.

This

income comes from taxes on the manufactured products. Excise taxes

come from

that arrives from other countries.

Finally

, I believe that it is better to educate people about the harms of

This

approach has worked better in many countries and there has been a reduction in the sale of

products To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, banning

tobacco

is not a good idea.

Drug

prohibition has been the most failed social policy and banning

tobacco

is a step backwards.
