Opinion essay
Some people
think that governments should ban alcohol and tobacco as they do with many
other addictive substances that are as harmful as those are. To what extend do
you agree?
Owing to excessive
consume of these products, the banning would be meaningless. In fact, the
reality wouldn’t change. Surely new markets (illegal markets) would be created
and people would continue to buy, because alcohol and tobacco have become part
of most citizen’s life.
One
interest fact about tobacco is that there is no global product that sells so
many units and kills so many people. On the other hand, alcoholism is the main
reason of divorcements and family breakdowns.
Personally,
I also believe banning alcohol or tobacco would not have a good receiving in
many countries due to the fact that there’s more than fifty per cent of the
citizens that consume, at least, one of the two. By the way, there are actually
some laws that have reduced this consume, for example with high taxes so not
everyone can afford it.
In
conclusion, banning alcohol and tobacco would not stop its sale and consume,
but also it would create discomfort in great part of the society. That said, it
would be great to control this problem to reduce the addiction to this deadly
invention.
