ZDEN 1 A cigarette is a small roll of finely cut tobacco leaves wrapped in a cylinder of thin paper for smoking.

Cigarette has been use all over world since 9th century and most modern manufactured cigarettes are filtered and include reconstituted tobacco and other additives. Cigarette smoke contains over 4000 chemicals, including nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide, which are found in tobacco. The daily intakes of these chemicals have devastating effects on the body. Because of those effects smoking has been always controversial situation. This situation cause coming up the production and sale of cigarette should be made illegal question. Thesis Statement: Even
though it has been argued that the production and sale of cigarettes should be made illegal, this situation has many adverse effects such as restriction of human freedom, encouragement of the prohibitions and the increase in unemployment. It is commonly argued that the ban of production and sale of cigarette is necessary for medical benefits of people, nevertheless cigarette ban restrict only self-determination of human and private freedom. Cigarette, cigar, and pipe-smoking are so debilitating that the immediate cessation of the habit is always the first step of any program to improve one's health. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of disease, disability, and death. cigarette smoking can cause lung disease, heart disease, and stroke. Smoking also can cause cancer of the lung, mouth. In addition, it plays a role in cancer of the cervix, pancreas, and kidney. It is asserted in British Medical Journal, smoking damages the arteries to the heart and brain, thereby increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke, (1997). Nevertheless, when the production and sale of cigarette be made illegal, private freedom and option of take individual choice will be taken from government. At the present time, there are many smoking bans that favor the argument of non-smokers. For example, in many states and abroad, smokers cannot smoke in public places or at work. Still, laws can be changed and you can personally contribute to the campaign to stop smoking bans by following the steps below. ScienceDaily stated, Public smoking bans appear to significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks, particularly among younger individuals and non-smokers, (2009). These rules already protect non-smokers from

Another argument commonly asserted in favour of the ban of production and sale of cigarette is based on the assumption that the using of cigarette encouraged the teenagers to smoke, but prohibitions got more attention due to the ban. Cigarette advertising and promotions are most likely to lure teens whose parents follow otherwise well-proven methods for discouraging risky behaviour. Advertising give teens the message that smoking can help them become attractive, desirable, and independent when the reality is quite different. In several parts of the world, tobacco advertising and sponsorship of sporting events is prohibited. The bar upon tobacco advertising and sponsorship in Formula One Management to look for venues that permit display of the livery of tobacco sponsors. Those advertising has one purpose, sell more and more cigarette and teenagers are potential smokers for them. On the other hand, ban and prohibitions always got more attention. In addition, the illegal sale of cigarette is very common many countries. If the production and sale of cigarette will be banned , the illegal sales will be increase and ban will not be solution. For example, It was estimated in 2004 that smuggling a single truck containing up to 48,000 cartons of cigarettes from Virginia to New York in the United States could lead to a profit of around US$2 million. That all data show us making illegal the cigarette not decrease using of cigarette. Other frequently heard arguments in support of the production and sale of cigarette are related to individual financial lost , on the other hand many people who work in cigarette sector will be unemployed because of cigarette ban. Buying a single cigarette may be easy for many people but buying an entire pack of cigarette is not that cost effective. There is a close connection between buying cigarette and spending money on this habit. Thus smoking is an expensive habit and the cost of health problems associated with this even become many folds expensive. Nonetheless, cigarette company has many factory around the world and thousands people work at that factory. Moreover there are another jobs about cigarette like marketing. The tobacco industry argues that it generates much-needed employment and government revenue. With the above discussion , if an argument is

made about banning about the manufacture of tobacco , there lies ahead the responsibility of the employees whose families are dependent on tobacco company earnings. In conclusion, it is obvious that the make illegal of production and sale of cigarette is antidemocratic, harmful for economy so the production and sale of cigarette should be legal. The cost of illegalization of cigarettes outweighs the advantage of it, thus they should not make producing and selling cigarettes illegal.
