The production and sale of cigarettes should be banned
In today’s society has changed dramatically with drug problems, family issues,
and now another big problem is addiction to smoking. Smoking is the most popular addiction for
most people around the world. Every year, smoking rate is increasing continuously but smokers
are still not pay attention to these things that harm themselves and others around them much. If
people continue to smoke for a long time, it’s easy to get addicted to smoking harder and can not
quit smoking. It’s a penalty which may be just an excuse of people who do not want or no effort
to quit. In cigarettes, there is the nicotine that the longer it’s get into the body, it will result in

and decease of people worldwide. So, this is the reason why the production and sale of cigarettes
should be banned.
