Turbat is the second largest city in province of Balochistan but unfortunately tobacco smoking is legal, only after the age of 18. There are no proper rules and regulations implemented by the government to cut down the use of tobacco. The government should restrict shopkeepers from selling cigarettes to children below the age of 18 and if they continue to do, strict actions should be taken against them and they should be charged with a fine. In Balochistan, around 2350 people die to disease caused by smoking every year. The government should impose strict laws for the citizens and should look into this matter seriously.
