Superb rambabuji, Simple but powerful statement. Increase in price indirectly increases the longevity.

We can even think in this manner also, that is for the sake of having smoking a person can become cruel and start making crimes for getting money to purchase cigarettes and have smoking. therefore, the increase of cigarette rates even leads to increase of crime

Why not? One leads to another. If you see keenly some ghastly murders were committed just for few bucks.

My honest feeling on this issue is that apart from those who smoke themselves to death, there is another section of people who inhale noxious carbon mono-oxide emitted by vehicles and become the unknowing victims of some pulmonary diseases. So the entire issue involves around environmental degradation and its deadly consequences. We have to take a holistic view of the problem.

Rambabuji, that means if the cigarette rate increases then crime rate also increases.

Cigarette is increasing day by day.But those who are addicted they will choose some other optional thing.

Actually now a days very less people are smoking. So though they increase its rate there will be no loss or gain to the people. More over cigarette company people only will have loss as they lose their customers.
