There sholud be limitations and usage of cigarettes in the country.Unfortunately smoking is very common in our society especially in youth.Youth use smoking as fashion then get addicted to it.Use of tobacco is increasing vey much.GOvt must pay attention to eradicate gutka,manpuri,Chars,alcohol etc. which are being sold and bought extensively ,illegally,visibly without fear of police.
