Although it is now free for farms and industries to use tobacco in the production of cigarettes and cigars, some people think tobacco should be made illegal in the same way as other drugs because the products containing it are addictive.
Do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Quite a few people have reckoned that tobaccos should be made illegal due to the addictive materials which would do harmfulness to human beings. However, I intend to explore closely before giving my own viewpoint in this essay.
Undoubtedly, concrete evidences have revealed that cigarettes and cigars are linked to cancers , because of the complex chemical compounds from the tobaccos, be it Nicotine, which does negative effects to human body. However, the effects may be chronic.
As for what can we get from the tobacco industries, first and foremost, tobaccos contribute significant effort in the state revenue. In accordance with an investigation launched by the IMF in 2014, three quarter of the states of the world based heavily on tobaccos, to be more precise , the chinese tobacco industries have accounted for at least 20% of GDP, which is about 14 trillion. With the revenues from tobaccos, China could spend much more budget in infrastructures and education departments ,which promote livelihood of the chinese citizens.
Moreover, tobacco industries have done great assistance in employment. Take China for an example, from what I have read in the newspapers , about 20 million people have taken up an occupation linked to the tobaccos. Specifically, yunna province , which is located in southwest of china, with several tobacco giants, famous for its tobacco，in 2014 , more than 2 million people are employed by local tobacco giants ,such as Hongta corporation and Honghe corporation. These giants have done great effort to reduce the unemployment of the local economics and the maintenance of social stability.
To sum up, tobaccos absolutely do harmfulness to the human body. In consideration of the benefits from the tobaccos, I believe it is premature to make to tobaccos illegal.
