Smoking is harmful to health. Why doesn't the country explicitly ban smoking and force smoking cessation?

Anonymous complained that it is difficult to find men who don't smoke, drink or play cards now, and their friends are all in prison-everywhere.

Of course, this is just a joke.

As we all know, the words "Smoking is harmful to health" are printed on cigarette boxes. Some countries even have some high-energy pictures on cigarette packages. Then why can't we ban cigarettes? In that case, didn't everyone give up smoking?

Many people will ask this question when reading Laojiu's article, so let's analyze why the country has not completely banned smoking.

1. Cigarettes are a big taxpayer in China, and the tax revenue contributed by tobacco accounts for about 7% of the national tax revenue, which is several times that of wine. At the same time, the profit of tobacco industry ranks first among state-owned enterprises, and it is an absolute big profit maker. Take Yunnan, which accounts for the highest proportion, for example, tobacco profits and taxes account for half of Yunnan's total fiscal revenue.

Secondly, there are more than 300 million smokers in China. Although there are not a few people who have successfully quit smoking, there are more people who have repeatedly quit smoking but failed. Moreover, among smokers, men account for the vast majority. The social impact of nicotine addiction on psychological addiction caused by forced smoking cessation is uncontrollable.

Third, if smoking is completely banned, there will be more market for smuggled cigarettes, the profit of tobacco will soar, and the underground black market trading and its pressure on social security will also soar! You can refer to the prohibition laws of the United States and Britain.

Fourth, cigarettes are less harmful than drugs, and people who want to quit smoking can completely quit smoking successfully. Even if you smoke, it will not affect your normal working life. So the country has never explicitly banned smoking.

Although there is no total ban on smoking, the country is also controlling smoking. Every year, the country's tobacco planting and purchasing are decreasing, and the output of cigarettes is also gradually decreasing. Smoking is prohibited in more and more public places.

Finally. Still advise smokers, for the health of themselves and their families. It's better to quit smoking a day earlier!
