Should the same laws which prohibit the sale and consumption
of heroin be applied to tobacco?
Recently, a hostile debate arouse when a few well reputable health organizations suggested the
application of a similar act of heroin selling and usage prohibition _. In this assay, I will analyse why
the adoption of such a law could be a breakthrough in our youngsters safety, according to my vision.
Firstly , tobacco does not differ much from heroin when it comes to the later addictive effect. Nicotin ,
the active ingredient in tobacco, exerts its effect by acting directly on smoker’s brain cells. Numerous
experiments carried out by scientist on animals, specailly rats, proved that this toxic chemical does lead
by time to dependency, just similar to the effect experienced with herion.
Secondly, restriction on cigerattes selling will surely show an instant decline in tobacco smoking. ”
Having an easy access to cigarettes puts a tremendous pressure, specially on teenagers,to resist such a
temptation” Dr.Hisham , head of Pschycology department at Alexandria Medical college , states
firmly. “Giving the new generation the sense that the severity of smoking is equivilant to other lethal
drugs usage woulod be a life saving step,they will thank us for() as they get older.” he continues.
To recapitulate, applying of a futuristic law as the suggested one will definetly have a positive
impact ,not only on young people’s health but on our society as a whole.
