TABAQUISM There are many illegal things that are not very harmful but are illegal for our body and some other that are harmful but are not illegal. An example of this is tobacco, which is cause of many deaths and diseases but is still legal and can be bought in any store and is available to everyone. To name something as a drug it has to be addictive and harmful to our body, and tobacco is both. Is not a big difference from marijuana and tobacco, the only difference is how people talk about both of them. Many persons think of marijuana as a very bad thing, but don’t do the same about smoking tobacco even though they are almost the same thing. So I think tobacco should be illegal just as the other drugs. We can tell smoking tobacco has a lot of bad consequences in our life and in the life of the people that surround us but are still something normal and we see it every day in our daily life. In order to prevent all these deaths and people getting addicted to it a solution is to make it illegal and stop selling it. That way we can avoid children from using it. If the government decides to illegalize it the amount of people harmed by smoking it would be decreased, so I think it’s better to do so and stop all the negative things this brings to our lifes.
