There is a large amount of substance that, for one reason or another, are illegal in our country. One of the biggest arguments is that they cause problems in the human’s health. But, from this point of view, should not alcohol and tobacco illegal? I do not think so.
To begin with, it is true that alcohol and tobacco can cause some serious problems to the human health but a lot of other substances that we consume daily can be just as hazardous. For example, large quantities of sugar in our body may result in illnesses in an uncertain future. The problem is that alcohol and tobacco can produce health problems in smaller quantities and people tend to abuse of them leading to lots of cases problems produced by alcohol and tobacco.
Even though countries have banned some substances, people have found the way to buy them going against the law. If governments make illegal alcohol and tobacco it would be inevitable the appearance of groups of people selling these substances creating more and bigger problems that the state would have to deal with. As people are extremely used to consuming these products the needs of acquiring some would grow exponentially leading to unrest on the streets.
For the points I have mentioned above and others, I think that governments should not make alcohol and tobacco illegal as it might produce bigger problems to the country but it is necessary to take care of the consumerism rates of these products in order to make them decrease.
