Better use of Tobacco
I think tobacco usage should only be for smoking, or in any way to harm humans and their environment
POLICY
Over the past few years, tougher anti tobacco policies have been established, policies such as plain packing or showing the consequences of using these products, smoking in public places, such as restaurants, cinemas, school etc,taxes on tobacco products have been raised as well, cause it's getting so expensive every where, some smokers are quitting, but some still smoke.
Though in New Zealand policies for tobacco products can only go so far, cause the government isn't trying to ban tobacco products, but to encourage people not to use them,

Disease
Tobacco is one of the leading causes , and till a few decades ago, medical health reports have been showing, that smoking it, is bad, many people have died from smoking tobacco, over the past few centuries an amount of 100million died from illness caused by smoking tobacco, but in just this century alone, ONE billion people are going to die from it, an average of 6 million people die annually, an estimation of 2.1 million people will die from cancer, that is caused by the use of tobacco products, most of them which will occur in developing countries.
Though everyone knows that smoking is critical to your health, yet teenagers still use tobacco products,not only is it critical to their health, but also their brains, a teen's addiction to nicotine, causes the prefrontal cortex to be less active, which means it's effects their thinking, for example telling what's right and what's wrong.
Use of tobacco products causes diseases, such as lung, heart, cancer, blindness, diabetes, impotence , gum diseases, also increases the brain bleeding risk, at the same time, it affects how long you will live, people who smoke are twice as much exposed to these diseases.
If you're a smoker, who hopes to not go through the rest of your life with these consequences, quit now.

Smoking tobacco increases the brain bleed risk, even though quitting reduces the danger, but people with heavy smoking history, still have twice as much at risk as people who have never smoked, this report shows an investigation done by Korean researchers, they investigated 426 cases of subarachnoid haemorrhage(SAH) between the year 2002-2004, they were compared with a group 426 people matched for age and sex who had not had a brain bleed, in this study participants who have smoked are are more likely to suffer an SAH than non-smokers.
