I simply do not understand how smoking is not illegal!!! Cigarettes and E-Cigarettes should fall into the category of illegal items, like many drugs, and should stop being sold (they were only sold in the first place for money). Smoking is extremely detrimental to health - it can cause fatal illnesses, like lung cancer, heart disease and negative reproductive effects on women. Smoking is killing yourself, and others. Passive smoking affects people who do not smoke, as they breathe in the smoke emitted by others who smoke; this can cause asthma, especially in young children. SMOKING MUST BE MADE ILLEGAL!

yes should be iligal

🚬=❌

If drugs are illegal, why aren’t cigarettes?

Smoking should be made illegal because, 1: you get no benefits from it 2: it harms people and gives them lung cancer 3: production of tobacco is harming animals; what if they eat the tobacco?

No. I hope projects should be in place to discourage smoking but stopping it is extreme as many shops which are suffering from covid need the money from cigs

Smoking is polluting our planet. It is hurting our people and damaging our land. #QuitSmokingNow

Yes,because smoking make you have rotten teeth

what's good about it? and it is bad for your health

totally agree with nim-pom

Smoking is horrible, #Makesmokingillegal it gives you cancer, makes you feel rotten and is addictive, oh smoking is THE WORST. It will kill everybody who does it if they don't stop. Banish smoking!

I believe that smoking should be illegal, Although they should bring in the rule slowly (because smoking has addictives, which means that you just want more of the thing - a bit like chocolate).

Smoking is bad for our climate and has no reason to be around. Cars are bad for the environment but they get people to places quicker - many people are also working out ways to make cars better for the environment, cigarettes, however, can not be changed to be better for the environment. Furthermore, cigarettes have barely any pros, but more cons:

Pros:

some people find it relaxing and cool

Cons:

with each cigarette, seven minutes of their life is lost,
hard to quit,
their clothes smell bad,
it can cause Cancer.

Also, a smoker's child is more likely to smoke. So, don't smoke - don't even try.

It is also bad for the heart

I think it should be illegal since it is doing harm to the planet and doing harm to people that smoke. Business may go down by cigarettes going out of the shops, but it is doing no good to the world and the people that live here but instead just causing bad.

It shouldn't be illegal, because it is a personal decision, but it should be discouraged. I don't believe smoking is right, but if people aren't give the opportunity, cigarettes will just be smuggled in, meaning that the problem won't be solved.

you cant just say it is illegal , some people who smoke can feel as of every thing is against them. what would you do if they said your favourate food is illegal. what you should do is stop people starting the habit and try to ease out the bad habit but not suddenly

I agree with nim-pom

I think it SHOULD be made illegal!!!

Smoking is bad for people and the environment, it should be illegal!

smoking is bad for you

It should be illegal because it is addictive and is bad for the lungs

It's bad for teeth and you can get athsma SMOKING SHOULD STOP

It should be illegal as it is not healithy for your lungs and people die from it. People become addicted to. However, it does calm you down when you are angry though but I still do not believe it should be legal

charlieee7, yes it is the person's decision but you become addicted. The person may die.

Smoking should be made illegal because it causes health issues, harms you etc etc.

Why smoking not illegal already?! It harms your lungs,teeth, overall health! Its bad for young children to be around the smoke too. It definitely should be illegal.

I think that the Government should give a special permit to people who are already smoking because it’s really hard to stop and if you don’t have a permit then you can’t buy a cigarette.

Why shouldn't it be illegal? It is damaging our planet, and people's mental health issues aswell as people's physical issues, like lung cancer. Also, if others breathe it in, it can cause affects on them too.

thousands of people literally die of illnesses caused by smoking so it should be illegal

Smoking is terrible for your lungs and equally as terrible for the environment alike so a ban should come in to place if not to protect the environment then to protect the worlds people

I think that smoking should not be made illegal right now, but possibly in the future because Covid-19 has been really hard on some shops and they might have to close down if they can't sell cigarettes. Also everybody who smokes would be made a criminal and could increase smuggling through borders losing the respect and control the UK government has over the country. Schemes and projects have had a really big impact on people who smoke and has coursed a huge decrease in the number of smokers. However, they do this by encouraging people not to smoke instead of forcing them, this is better and more human. By making smoking illegal, the problem will still be the same if not worse and will have no impact at all on people who buy cigarettes. All it will do it increase smuggling and illegal transportation, create a huge amount of redundancy and basically not help the problem at all. That's my opinion anyway 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

@artichoke u r soooo right

I think smoking shouldn’t be made illegal but people should have cards and they get stamped for every cigarette pack that you have had as people just smoke too many packets a day 🤔🤔😉😉

I can’t believe they’re not already illegal, it’s one of the worst things for your health!

it should be illegal because it is harming us and our world.i always beg y mum not to smoke and she has but she now use a vape as it is very hard to quit smoking (she does have a backup packet though) i think it is a ba habit and that it should be stopped but not by forcing people into quiting.

Illegal = ✅
legal =❌

Smoking causes extreme health conditions have started forest fires are slowly polluting our environment. They should at least ban cigarettes the amount of litter they can cause it’s disgusting.

Yes as smoking is bad and the only reason it hasn't been banned yet is because the government makes money from the extra taxes the smokers pay when they buy a cigarette.

Smoking is damaging the populations' lungs and breathing. In some cases, excessive smoking can even cause lung failures: a fatal illness. Making it illegal, would, potentially, save thousands of lives and save the NHS thousands of pounds.

Yes because I'm getting a bit worried about my uncle...

Both

YES

It bad for your lungs it gives you an addiction and sooooo many other bad things! I don’t know why they didn’t ban it already !

#Makesmokingillegal

No because it would cause people to smuggle it in to the country instead and jobs would be lost. So, I would tell people not to and possibly put a limit on how many you can buy or make the price higher

oo
