All the government should take this advise as this will reduce many diseases and many other problems that are brought due to use of tobacco.
The government of Kenya has taken these advice and from the beginning of this month the prices of tobacco has risen.This is good indeed as it will reduce consumption of the tobacco.
In a duration of about 5 years ago government has tried it best to fight the tobacco usage.One of the things that government did is banning the advertisement of tobacco products in public i.e radio stations,T.v and i can say this has helped a lot One of my friend who is a tobacco user told me that he started smoking a local cigarette.When he was about 12 years old when he heard an advertisement.That " smoking make a person fill so high ".Now he is an addict.
Another thing that government has helped is controlling the smoking of tobacco from anywhere in the public.Some years back people could smoke cigarette from any environment in public.This was polluting the environment,from the research carried out by one of international organisation it said that when a person smoke cigarette.The third party person is the one who will have high risk of been affected by the cigarette than even those who are smoking it.
So government of Kenya constructed a Smoking Zone. This the smoking Zone area,Smoking in the public in Kenya is an offence.
The other thing that government helped a lot is establishment of NACADA. This is an organisation that help in fighting drugs abuse.By holding up seminars and campaign against drug abuse.Also the introduction of outside cover been printed a message like cigarette smoking can cause death,disease etc.This usually help those who are introducing themselves to this substance.
The prices should even be doubled to reduce the number of people who are using the substance.But big question arise that Economy of the world is also supported by the tobacco.The Companies that manufacture the product pay government a lot of money and also have employed many employees from those who sell the product to the Customer(Smoker),Farmer who plant the Tobacco product to sell to these companies for his daily bread.If we ban tobacco produce where will the people go.
My opinion to these is that It should only be increased the prices and not ban them completely.Those who will afford to use them let them use them.
View these and learn you might help another person and you help yourself risks of tobacco .
