There is an ongoing debate among a group of individuals weather all types of beverages and tobacco items should be totally prohibited in all nations as it cause fatal health issues like cancer,heart diseases and many others or it shouldnot be banned since government collects large amount of fund as tax from all these products.
Overall,I am of the view that,yes,all kinds of liquors such as wine, beer and other drinks, containing high level of alcohol and all smoking substances must be forbidden thereby improving public health.However,on the flip side, I also think that these products should not be completely made out of reach from consumers since governments heavily on the money collected from tariff labelled on these kinds of products.
On one hand, tobacco and liquors contain high amount of nicotine and alcohol respectively therefore tend to cause various health hazards.. Moreover , insane consumption of alcohol on the daily basis may also lead to cause domestic violence, contributing , the rate of divorce, family imbalancement. For instance, a data collected from the survey conducted in Nepal in 2070 BS shows that the health issue has been one of the major contributer for the death of individuals who have consumed alcohol and smoking items in their day to day lives .Additionally,consumers have to deal with mental tortures,social anxiety and disrespect.
On other side, Grovemments of all nations collects a large amount of money as revenve, making it a reason for not banning.Fund obtained by tarrifs could be used in social development and improvements in life style of its citizens. Meanwhile, banning alcohol and tobacco infringes on individuals autonomy. Therefore, the role of the government should be to regulate rather than pohibit.
In conclusion, while the health impacts of alcohol and tobacco are a serious concern, banning them solely to address this issue is neither effective nor practical.In my opinion governments should focus harm reduction strategies while continuing to utilize the revenue for greater good.
