Tobacco is a kind of drug. People have been free to sue it. Some people think that it should be illegal to use it comparing with other drugs. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What is your opinion?
The use of tobacco products has been a controversial issue for many years. To my mind, tobacco should in no sense be compared to drugs as illegal, but should not be encouraged either, considering its harm to health.
Tobacco has long been a source of money for the governments in many countries. This income comes from taxes on the manufactured products. Excise taxes also come from tobacco that arrives from other countries.
Yet, cigarette smoking is a leading cause of many life-threatening diseases. During the 1960s, scientists established that smoking tobacco products especially cigarettes could cause lung cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses.
While cigarette smoking has its harm mainly on individuals, drug abuse has a range of potentially harmful effects not only on individuals but also on family, friends, work and society.
Cocaine can cause high blood pressure, leading to a brain stroke. Injecting drugs into the body with contaminated needles can lead to blood poisoning, which may result in death. Sharing needles with a person who has AIDS can give a user those diseases.
Frequent drug users may turn to crime to meet the increasing expense for their habit. Continued drug use may cause personality changes. Some users lose interest in school or work, or have difficulty meeting the responsibilities of a job or family.
To conclude, cigarette smoking, in spite of its harm to a persons health, has the advantage of earning revenue from taxes for a country and it is incomparable to the lethal drug abuse.
