Smoking was banned in the country since 2007. Why??? It affects
our lungs? What about the more deadly destruction than smoking?? ALCOHOL… it
was never banned… Why wasn’t it? Is it just because Government earns a huge tax
from the sale of Alcohol?
Let me have straight facts… you guys tell me the reason for
following destructions:
1.
Why are we having car accidents? Smoking or
drinking?
2.
Why are the rape cases increasing? Smoking or
Drinking?
3.
Why do we have youths getting into gang fights?
Smoking or drinking?
4.
Why do we have family social dramas and Divorce?
Smoking or Drinking?
The common answer you get is DRINKING. Since alcohol has
this huge impact than smoking, why not restrict its sale in the country? The
consumption of Alcohol has been increasing rapidly due to its non-restriction
and easy-acceptability on the consumption. Bhutan calls itself a country with
Gross National Happiness, but the prevailing situation that describes the
alcohol impacts in the society is leading Bhutan to Gross National Harassment.
I don’t say that we should ban Alcohol and
allow Smoking. Smoking on the other side of the coin has also the negative
impact on us. But it is less compared to Alcohol. All I want to say is that why
can’t we realize the reality? Why can’t government once think about its citizen
and not its revenue and income?
P.S: NO
OFFENCE TO ANYONE, IT IS JUST A PERSONAL OPINION OF MINE!
