Alcohol and cigerettes are two things which acts as slow poison and slowly push people towards death. I cannot simply understand when in India showing a smoking scene in movies is banned, why not it is banned actually? If cigerettes and alcohol are not made how will people have them? they have ruined people from years, still ruining and God knows till when. Friends please raise your comments and let others know about your views. My vote goes to banning cigerettes and alcohols permenantly. your goes to what?? give plausible reasons please!!

I think that it's really hard to ban it in a short time. For exemple, you can't tell UK people to use euros in 6 months. Changes need to take time. And another big issue is that there's too many people using them, and will certainly provide a big manifestation. If the people is really really angry, maybe they will boycott the whole economic system, and the unemployement will raise (due to those who produce, those who cut, those who make, etc...).
I think that the only way to do this is, first, tell the people, let them understand that it's bad for the health to smoke and drink, and then help them to change, to stop, maybe they'll even influence those who they know who smokes/drinks, and the finally step is to slow down, and finally stop all the production.

Sugar kills also, should it be banned? I have free will and I do not smoke and drink once in awhile, and I do not want anyome telling me I CAN NOT. It is my choice.![](/Content/images/emotes/angry.gif)

I agree, these two things should be banned permenantly. I also think the government should implement something to encourage people to stop drinking and quit smoking. They are slowly killing people, I don't understand why people still go for it... But if you ask me, I will say YES, BAN it forever!
