Though the title may seem vague and incomprehensible, all attempts have been made to make it understandable in a simple, lucid and factual-cum-rational manner.
The title speaks about the Revenue generated from selling the TOBACCO products(=18000 Crore) against the money spent by this population on treatment of the tobacco causing diseases(=16800 Crore). If we include the loss of Human Resource(deaths leads to loss of human capital), the value is unthinkable. Its more than 1Lakh CR.
Now, if one goes for a Cost-Benefit analysis of Tobacco-Products sold by the government just in the name of Revenue generation, it should realise that it is here also on REVENUE DEFICIT(~1lakh CR).
Thus from this, we can deduce that Tobacco manufacturers are at profit on one hand and government are in severe loss(which can't be seen with telescopic eyes;one needs to have microscopic eyes).
A look at several forms of तंबाकू सेवन (Tobacco usage products) and their variation in different scenarios and cases as below:
Sutta(a very very famous nomenclature for Cigarette in educational institutions), Bidi, Khaini, Gaanza are the most common and prominent tobacco-products; dominance of one depends upon the place(College-First and Last), society(Jats & Gujjars- Second and last), region(Haryana-second and fourth vs Bihar/UP-second and third), class(Higher/upper-middle-1st and 4th vs Lower-2nd and 3rd).
Self-explanatory is to aware the जनता about the ill-effects of the products(not limiting to Mukesh and TAR advertisement shown before movies start OR ill-implemented Statutory warnings on Packets viz. धुम्रपान स्वास्थ्य के लिए हानिकारक हैं ) apart from increasing the TAX to cover the Revenue deficit and also prevent the population who have nothing to eat but tobacco to smoke and chew(POOR).
Its high time to understand this vicious cycle of Tobacco usage, Health issues and Tax generation at the cost of millions of innocent lives who have fallen prey to this cycle due to situation or environment or style statement or modernization or whatever.
Nahi to wo din door nahi, jab khasi ke wajah shardi-jukham kam and sutta-bidi jyada nikalegi.
Lets pledge on this World NO TOBACCO-Day that we would strive hard to put a COMMA(if not FULL STOP) to ONE PERSON's habit of the SILENT KILLER consumer and strive towards a CHEWING-GUM cum लेमनचूस nation.
Those who feel can manage this menace may not discontinue but the poorest of the poor who are as of now wasting their precious money in this social-cum-cultural habit should be prohibited to enjoy the poison of 21st century.
Say NO to TOBACCO
and YES to LIFE(with dignity and respect)!!!
