Recently, a heated
debate arouse when
a few reputable health organizations suggested the application of a similar act
of heroin selling and usage prohibition . In this essay, I will analyze
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 addictive effect. Nicotine , the active ingredient in tobacco,
exerts its effect by acting directly on smoker’s brain cells. Numerous
experiments carried out by scientist on animals,specially rats, proved that this toxic chemical
does lead by time to dependency, just similarly
to the effect experienced with heroin.
Secondly, the
restriction on cigarettes selling would surely show an instant
decline in tobacco smoking. ” Having easy access to cigarettes puts a
tremendous pressure, especially on teenagers,to resist such a temptation”
Dr.Hisham , head of Psychology department
at Alexandria Medical college , states firmly. “Giving the new generation the
sense that the severity of smoking is equivalent to other lethal drugs usage would be a life saving step, they will thank
us for as they get older.” he continues.
To recapitulate,
applying of a futuristic law such as the suggested one will definitely have a positive impact ,not only on
young people’s health but on our society as a whole.
