Smoking is a bad habit but why do we have advertisements on them?

I always get astonished or surprised whenever I come across different advert that has to do with some banned drugs and cigarettes despite the fact they government are still on the claim that they've banned them. It is boldly written on the cigarettes pack that "smokers are liable to die young" and yet we still have such dangerous things imported into our country. The worst part of this is that the media are also encouraging some habit of immorality such as the smoking of cigarettes and consumption of drugs either in music videos or movies as this act enables our young ones intend to imitate the celebrities with the hope that they are enjoying.

I think the main reason we have such advertisement occurring and the rampant consumption of such illegal drugs is mostly caused by corruption of some of the government bodies. The company or dealers producing such illegal drugs are definitely paying huge amounts of money to some government bodies as a means of bribing. How would such drugs be smuggled in the country without some government officials knowing about it?

Also just have you stated that "smoking is a bad habit". Smoking is really bad for the health has it has led to the health damages of some people such as kidney problems, lung damage, cancer, mental problem, etc. The fact is that one may get very addicted to smoking as this will make the smoker uncomfortable if the smoker never smokes for some period of time. This also applies to other illicit drugs we know about. I just hope the parties involved can do away with such bad habit and I hope the government and some officials involved will avoid their corrupt attitude when it comes to this type of situation.

Thanks for reading and I hope this helps.
