Although you might consider that addiction is a matter of costly affair. Due to the fact that the prices of such products are quite high because of the quantity of tax that is imposed on them. The reason behind this is the thinking of the government that it will bring down the consumption, as most people won’t prefer to spend such amount of money over it.
But many companies came up with the substitution of the costly items which is cheaply available in the market; the same is the case with alcohol, cigarettes, stuff, etc. But the quality maybe not as good as the costly one. The financially weak people prefer these because it costs less and is easily available through peddlers or small local sellers. And once the habit gets developed in the body, it acts as a devastating thing.
Effects of consumption
- Already their earning is low to sustain the family and satisfy their wishes and desires. But spending a portion of this money over the bad habits of drinking and smoking deprives them and their families from many such facilities which they deserve.
- Their behaviour towards family changes eventually. And they start ignoring the needs of them and start spending whatever earning they have on buying cigarettes and alcohol.
- The cases of domestic violence hence increase, if they are not given money to spend on such things. And with time the family often suffers a lot, and this is the case with almost every person who lives a below average life.
They are not literate or educated enough to know the effects which these things can have on their life. So intervention is a possible way out for them if they are given the right guidance to do it. It is worth giving a shot because in such cases you never know what might prove to be beneficial as the family of a person knows what is best for him and what is not.
Once they get to know about the harmful effects as well as the way in which their life is getting changed, they will understand the situation. And to some extent will surely try to drop out of this habit eventually, as such miracles don’t happen overnight.
