Smoking: Money is better than people?

Almost 7 million people die of diseases caused by smoking every year and it seems to be a growing number year after year. But let's ask, why do people die  and there seems not to be a global call like the way it is on others death causes like malaria and HIV/AIDS.

Diseases from smoking are so costly to handle by individual patients, not only them but also governments as well. But hey Our families tend to prevent their members from smoking in some countries while in other countries, the dad can ask his High school son to help and give him a cigarette from his (son) as he (dad) forgot to buy a new packet.

Are governments caring about there people? Most expenses are faced by them to install infrastructure for such infections. It seems governments get more money from smoking materials like tobacco, cigarettes, weeds and others. So when they compare the much used to install hospital facilities  and the revenue from smoking materials, they seem to be making more profits.

Governments are the policy makers, they should curb this issue completely. It looks to be that governments on smoking issue are more in making money that their own people. The struggle to reduce the increasing deaths of people from smoking related diseases should begin with governments who give go ahead to investors and spread their activities of growing and selling tobacco.

The young generation in many countries gets access to cigarettes so easily, but why? They make cigarettes so cheaper to even young people. A lot of tax should be imposed on cigarettes so as to turn costly. This will help to discourage  the nonworking young generation. Like alcohols in many countries, cigarettes too should not be sold or be accessed to people under the age of 18. This will help save the future generation.
