Opinion Essay- Oriol Gaviño
Nowadays us, as a society, we are conscious of drugs
and substances consequences and its potential risks, so the government has been
acting against those dangers banning them, arresting the drugdealers and raising awareness.
But alcohol and tobacco are still being consumed by half of the population, so, will alcohol and tobacco be banned or they will still being consumed?
I honestly think that they are far from being
banned, tobacco and alcohol are so deep rooted in our society that it is
impossible for them to be banned in a near future. Also those products move a
big industry worldwide and are contributing greatly to the economy, specially
alcohol (you just need to take a walk and observe how many bars there are and how
many people are consuming). So the government will not benefit from banning
those products. But I think that the government should raise taxes on those
products a little bit (specially tobacco) to decrease the volume of
consumers.
Personally I think that the people should
moderate themselves, because with a moderate consume
there will not be big consequences for them, and as they say ``once in a
while won’t hurt´´.
