  • Question

  • Statement: Should there be a total ban on tobacco products and smoking in India?

    Arguments:

    1. Yes. It is wrong to smoke away millions of money.
    2. No. It will throw thousands of workers in the tobacco industry out of employment.
    3. No. The government will lose huge amount of money as it will not earn by way of taxes on these products.


  • Options
  • A. None is strong
  • B. Only I and II are strong
  • C. Only II is strong
  • D. Only II and III are strong
  • E. All are strong

  • Correct Answer
  • Only II and III are strong 

    Explanation
    Clearly, smoking needs to be abolished because it is injurious to health and not only to save money. So, argument I is vague. Banning a product would surely render jobless the large number of workers involved in manufacturing it. So, argument II holds strong. Also, tobacco products are a source of big revenue for the government. So, argument III also holds.
