• “Prevention should begin before addiction does. If we educate the child today, we may prevent the consumer of tomorrow.”
• Add Tobacco as a subject in the school institution. Its effects and dangers of its addiction should be thought of before a student gets into that life. We always say prevention is better than cure, so I believe it's an education problem.
• Ban it. There is nothing benefits to human wellbeing. Just a human hazard and traders benefits
• Double GST
• First tell the government employees to stop chewing tobacco. Tobacco in your pocket/cars/pouch/locker & going for inspection or giving notifications to ban tobacco is totally a cheap circus show, clean the govt. first & take proper genuine action among the public, this is the reason why the public doesn't take any serious towards govt. any kind of so called strict notice. It’s so simple to solve, suspend the government employees like they suspend the license of trade/driving/etc, etc if they don't comply the order but when the dept. head is involved in such defaulters category than how do the govt. expect the public to follow up.
• It should not be the sole responsibility of the Government rather- it requires everyone’s participation. Everyone should come together—the Government, organisations, NGOs, churches, and individuals—with the aim of completely eliminating tobacco use in the state by effectively enforcing new rules and regulations.
• It’s not government job to do anything, people addicted to it are weak willed.
• Lack of public awareness; High tax on shopkeepers; by UGs and various org; NBCC only focused only on NLTP Act; Lastly, BAN. The more stricter we enforce the more cost and purchase of it.
• Nah first all the ministers under Rio should step down and Rio's bank balance should be checked and audited
• Provide or teach Addiction solution with alternative - that's what I'm doing
• Reduce the price of tobacco. Make it non profitable product. Business interested on profit items only.
• Secondly, after enforcing new laws regarding the prohibition of tobacco in the state- there should be strict measures to prevent the import of tobacco from neighbouring states. The new laws should not become like the NLTP Act-where implementation and enforcement have been ineffective—like a delicious curry without salt.
• Stop the tobacco supply from entering Nagaland. Simple as that.
• Teach about the consequences of Tobacco in school. Example like Oral Sub mucous Fibrosis, mouth ulcer, throat cancer, etc
• The Government and Administration along with Village Council, Students union, Church and NVG must adopt a strong resolutions that no one will be allowed to consumed tobacco.
• The Government and administration should take practical and achievable steps to reduce the use of tobacco in Nagaland. The existing tobacco control laws should be strictly enforced, especially the ban on selling tobacco products to minors and near schools and colleges. Regular inspections should be conducted at shops and public places, with appropriate penalties for violations. The government should at the same time increase awareness through schools, colleges, churches, village councils, health centres etc. Counselling services should also be provided to help users quit tobacco. Community leaders, teachers, healthcare workers and youth organisations can play an important role in encouraging people to give up tobacco. There should be a combination of strict enforcement, public awareness, community participation and support for quitting can help make Nagaland healthier and gradually reduce tobacco use.
• Therefore, if Nagaland wants to completely prohibit tobacco use in the state-everyone should take it seriously for the overall well-being of society—not merely for the sake of implementing a law but with a mindset and perspective focused on reformation, growth, and development for a better future for the state.
