What are the moral and legal reasons behind Indian govt. not banning use of alcohol and tobacco?
That makes sense, but what about the moral reasons? Don't they have a responsibility to protect the health of their citizens?
While it is true that the government has a responsibility to protect the health of its citizens, it is also important to consider individual autonomy and freedom of choice. Banning these products outright could be seen as an infringement on personal liberties. Instead, the government has implemented measures such as warning labels and public education campaigns to provide information and discourage excessive consumption.
