Should the government make alcohol and tobacco illegal?
Alcohol and tobacco have been well seen in our society since they were discovered quite centuries ago. Governments, which could have made them illegal, have not forbidden to consume them due to the money they earn through selling them. In my view, these drugs should be banned because of the following statistical data.
It is demonstrated by the World Health Organization that these legal drugs cause a year more than 200 milions of deaths in the world and illegal drugs cause only less than 30 milions of deaths. I think that the difference among them is due to the facility to buy alcohol and tobacco and the few useful campaings which exist against the consumption of them.
Moreover, these substances do not only damage to their consumers, they also harm people around them because, in the case of tobacco, the smoke of it harms our heart and lungs and, in the case of alcohol, drunk drivers can unconsciously run over pedestrians or collide with another car.
To sum up, I believe that these drugs should be illegal because of the number of people who die every year owing to them and the innocent people affected by its misuse.
