WE SHOULD BAN ALCOHOL AND SMOKING

 

    Do you agree with the statement that smoking and alcohol should be baned? Yes,

because cigarettes and alcohol are very dangerous for several aspects such as health and

others. Cigarettes and alcohol are inseparable and closely related. Before we stop cigarettes

and alcohol, of course, we must reveal the reasons why cigarettes and alcohol are prohibited

so that the reason why cigarettes are stopped is clear and transparent.i In my opinion,

smoking is very dangerous as well as alcohol because it has many negative impacts in several

aspects. Here's why proponents propose bans on alcohol and smoking.

  

 The first reason is in terms of health which is very much suggested and many have

also felt the negative impact of smoking. This is because cigarettes have many harmful

substances such as tar and nicotine. Of course, these substances can cause diseases such as

cancer.Hammado, N. (2014). Pengaruh rokok terhadap kesehatan dan pembentukan karakter

manusia. Prosiding, 1(1), 77-84. For example passive smokers who have a history of asthma

and people exposed to smoking can also cause cancer. We should reject alcohol is because it

is bad in several aspects such as health, social and cultural. This is because alcohol is very

influential on health such as Excessive alcohol consumption can weaken the heart muscle.

    The second is in terms of morals and socio-culture, like a good human being should

be able to benefit or at least try to maintain ethical morals. However, when humans are

affected by cigarettes and liquor, there will be deviations in them, either verbally or

nonverbally. Hammado, N. (2014). The influence of cigarettes on health and the formation of

human character. Proceedings, 1(1), 77-84. In the cultural environment of Indonesian people,

liquor cigarettes are not a natural thing, but many also use it. It is very disturbing to the

community environment and results in deviant behavior. For example, they will interfere in

ethics because people are affected by alcohol, it will disturb the surrounding environment,

especially in society. Arifin, A. M. (2022). The influence of social learning on alcohol abuse

by adolescents. AL-WARDAH: Journal of Women, Gender and Religious Studies, 16(1),

119-127. Excessive use of alcohol will disturb social tranquility in vulnerable adolescents

they will tend to be affected by the environment and end up damaging moral ethics.

    Although for some people smoking and drinking alcohol itself has benefits, one of

which is for calmness. Cigarettes and alcohol themselves are widespread in society and easy

to obtain. Even small children are easy to get these two items. According to some people

cigarettes and alcohol are common and ordinary and even inherent in their lives. This makes

them feel a sense of freedom in doing so, especially if they have bad emotions then it can be

forgotten. For example, people who have problems will tend to do these two things that bring peace to their emotions and thoughts.So that cigarettes and alcohol are much favored in

society and become a complementary thing.

    In summary The dangers of cigarettes and alcohol exist in several aspects, namely in

terms of people's health and culture.In Health effects Alcohol and smoking both pose known

health risks, including cancer, heart disease, and cancer. Banning it could reduce the health

risks associated with it. Then in public safety alcohol consumption is associated with

impaired judgment and increased risk of accidents, including traffic accidents.Therefore, stay

away from alcohol and cigarettes because they are very bad, protect others by protecting

ourselves first.
