Ban on sheesha

Despite recent bans on serving sheesha at public places, the evil practice continues in the city where the youth can easily get access to sheesha.

The law is abused for a few rupees. It is an irony that we are unable to implement effective strategies to curb the menace of tobacco and sheesha consumption. Being a student of Karachi University, I witness students smoking at every corner of the campus. The apparent ban on selling and keeping cigarettes is not effective as canteens keep cigarettes in remote corners. Although the dangers of smoking cigarette and sheesha are common knowledge, the trend continues. Mere bans are not enough. A much more effective strategy that involves the youth, manufacturers, health workers and the media is needed to counter the problem.

    Honestly screw the theory's about Zionists, and white man trying to screw the brown man, i just feel that a bunch of "maya khan type auntys" are in charge of the country's public policy.

    If anything tax all of these things instead of illegalising alcohol , tobacco and whatever the hell else "the useless armchair" auntys deem unacceptable.

    ( Source of knowledge….the rest of the world which is doing alot better than Pakistan)

  4. "Preaching " is practically all this country is good at ( Use the above commentators as example).

    The world does this wrong…the world does that wrong…look at those shameless indians…look at those shameless white people…. What have we devolved into?

    Ministers who ban commodities for political gain, idiotic masses that support them…..just the other day there was this article about a kid who submitted about a 1000 porno sights to ban…..AND HE WAS COMMENDED FOR IT….
