Why are cigarettes harmful to health? The state does not prohibit sales.

I don't know whether the harm of cigarettes is carcinogenic or not, and it can also cause fires. The medical expenses paid for fires caused by smoking or deaths from lung cancer in China each year far exceed the tax revenue brought by the tobacco industry.

But not all problems can be solved by prohibition. Sometimes, economic problems can play a role in problems that cannot be solved by administrative means and legal means.

Cigarettes are a big tax collector, which is one reason. But the reason why heavy taxes are imposed on the cigarette industry is not necessarily because the state encourages smokers to quit smoking. Cigarettes are more expensive Do smokers think too much about buying cigarettes? Smoking is absolutely not encouraged in this country. Why else is there no hero smoking on TV now?

Besides, I seem to have never heard of any country in the world that prohibits the sale of cigarettes. By the way, digression, since tobacco has an effect on human beings, it must have its reasons. Long-term smoking or addiction is not good, but occasionally it is not necessarily so bad. Isn't it possible to refresh the mind, anesthetize and relax the nerves to some extent?
