PTE essay1 Tobacco is such a prevalent drug attracting over a billion of adult every day. However, long- term consuming tobacco will harm our health condition, what’s worse, will have adverse effect on wider society in terms of health care cost and lost productivity. Thus some voice criticize that governments are obligated to legated to protect citizens from the harmful effects of their own decision to smoke. Yet, I believe that it is totally a personal decision which should not be interfered by government. Citizens have free to choice their personal things only if they are legal. Every choice is somehow uncertainty accompanying with risk or benefits. Once we have decided, we need to be responsible for the results. To this respect, after enjoying the fantasy illusion made by tobacco, people should accept the undesirable effect of smoking, such as lung disease or even cancer. The government, which is only a public department elected by citizens, have no right to prohibit tobacco from public. From another perspective, cigarettes industry also have brought government huge amount tax each year. In terms of that, if cigarette were forbidden by government, their budget would not be run as well as previous year. And in fact, there are host of other social issue among us remain to be addressed using the budget. Moreover, it is clear that in some developing countries the priority goal is economy growth but not health care. Therefore, tobacco, which bring huge fortune to citizens and country, should not be legitimate to forbid. To sum up, government should respect personal choice, also, government still rely on smoking industry to develop their economy. So whether using tobacco or not is only a personal choice thus government have no right to change by legislate anything.
