Statement: Should there be a total ban on tobacco products and smoking in India?

- No. It will throw thousands of workers in the tobacco industry out of employment.
- No. The government will lose huge amount of money as it will not earn by way of taxes on these products.
Answer: Option D
Clearly, smoking needs to be abolished because it is injurious to health and not only to save money. So, argument I is vague. Banning a product would surely render jobless the large number of workers involved in manufacturing it. So, argument II holds strong. Also, tobacco products are a source of big revenue for the government. So, argument III also holds.
