1. Who're the people earnestly propagating for the lift of ban of tobacco?
Ans: From among only two categories of people, Smokers and Non-smokers, it’s logical to simply believe that those are smokers who are behind this move.

2. Everyone is talking as if tobacco is
prohibited/banned completely in Bhutan. Are smokers not allowed to use
tobacco products in the country?
Ans: No, there's no as such ban. It's just that sale of tobacco is prohibited. Smokers can smoke/chew to their heart's content by purchasing through proper channel. Nobody trespassed their private matter.

3. Is the ban meant to demean tobacco abusers? Who're benefiting from the ban of tobacco sale?
Ans: The ban is nothing to do with smokers. It's for the larger section of the society especially the younger generations who could keep these substances at bay. The endangerment of lives through use of tobacco would be reduced.

4. Then who the hell are the smokers poking
their nose? What's the main motive behind smokers making hue & cry
over ban of tobacco?
Ans: Because they cannot move their ass to get the tobacco products through legitimate means. They barked because they are too lazy to bring in the tobacco products through proper procedures.

6. When everything is obvious, why National Council is with heavy hand
to lift the ban? Can the nation afford to stoop too low to these smokers
at their own fancy at the cost of society?
Ans: Most local leaders are against the NC’s move to lift the ban. It’s only logical to conclude that NC acted for the sake of smokers’ sentiments. The other probable reason could be because most NC members are smokers themselves and couldn’t think from the lens of non-smokers.

7. One of the reason cited for lift of ban of tobacco as per NC is because of smuggling rampant. How true is it?
Ans: I am a non smoker and believe me I didn't see or heard any sort of smuggling cases anywhere on my own. I don't know where one can get the banned substances as claimed by some. I am sure many younger generations wouldn't have easy access to these substances. I am certain that such perception is pertinent from the lens of abusers who have link with smugglers. It's apparent that NC went on with the decision to lift the ban based on the perception of smokers. I would agree that smuggling could be prevalent but that shouldn't have been the reason to ban the lift of tobacco altogether.
8. NC has already endorsed for the lift of ban. Do you think NA would obstruct the NC's move?
Ans: Probably not because the Prime Minister has been the chief objector to Tobacco ban when almost 96% of the erstwhile NA and 100% NC voted in favour of tobacco ban and more so because PM himself is chronic smoker. In any case, we could expect less from these ruling government because they have proven beyond doubt that they do no posses required competence. At the end, I bet, smokers will be the winners. No one can dispute this fact.

NB: I
am a victim of persistent exposure to someone's irresponsible smoking who
seemed less bothered to think that he's endangering my life and others
around him. So take this issue as something of my business should any viewer think of
such.
