Introduction The focus of the project is on the UK tobacco industry. The research will be done on the aim of the UK tobacco industry. The advantage and disadvantages of tobacco will be explored. Also, the impact of solutions from the government on reducing smoker. Moreover, arguments will be made based on academic references to decide if it is beneficial for the UK to ban the tobacco industry. Rationale When talking about tobacco, there is a lot of research about the tobacco industry but almost talking about tobacco harm. The question is why tobacco still exists while smokers could be killed. Even the governments around the world and many societies try to bring many solutions for smoker reduction. That is why the tobacco industry different from other products. However, the only country in the world is Bhutan that completely bans the sale and production of tobacco and tobacco products (BBC, 2004). The UK tobacco market recorded relatively weak growth across 2009-2013 (MarketLine, 2014). According to the telegraph, there are 10.3 million smokers in Britain and around 20 percent of the adult population. In addition, 5000 people are employed by tobacco companies in the UK, while 80000 jobs depend on tobacco (Telegraph, 2011). In 2012, consumer spending on tobacco products amounted to an estimated £15.1 billion. The tax revenue from tobacco in 2012/2013 amounted to £12.3 billion (UK tobacco market summary, 2014). There are a lot of arguments for and against the tobacco industry. The tobacco industry, as an employer, is naturally keen to emphasize its role in providing jobs to the UK economy (Sutton, 1995). On the other hand, Frank and Kenneth (2000) state that while the tobacco industry ranks among the most substantial and successful of economic enterprises, tobacco consumption is associated with more deaths than any other product. Thus, the project is going to investigating the issue of why the tobacco industry still survives in the UK even it is the cause of cancer, and it kills more people than alcohol, AIDS each year. Furthermore, the project gathers and groups all information together in order to give an objective opinion on the issue. The investigation based on different viewpoints and case studies. Research questions The main research question is, ‘Should the UK tobacco industry be banned?’ There are further two sub questions to this topic. The first one is causing the tobacco industry to remain regardless of its bad impacts. It refers to the advantage and disadvantages of the tobacco industry. It also refers to different opinions and viewpoints from academics in favor of and against in the tobacco industry. The last sub question is the discussion on whether there is a chance that tobacco will be banned in the UK.After discussing the advantage and disadvantages of tobacco in general, the focus will be on the current solution of the UK government for reducing smokers and whether tobacco is banned in the UK in the future.
