 THIS ANSWER IS BY Rosh UK

Q.In some nations promotion of habit forming substances is extensively discouraged by banning display in sales point and promoting display on health risks at places where people are likely to assemble.Do you think such an initiative is going to make any shift in the way people approach these substances?                                                                                    
                                       It is a known fact that substance abuse adversely affects the overall health of an individual.So,I think banning promotion exercises in public places and highlighting the side effects of such products can make tremendous changes in the attitude of people towards these harmful substances.
                          
                                           To begin with,picturesque representation of habit forming substances create temptation among people for using them.To make it clearer,glorified images of tobacco and alcohol products aggravate inclination towards them. As a result, people become addicted to it. Many,naturally, find it difficult to do without such substances.
                                      However,absence of projecting hoary pictures might discourage people to a great extent.Also, people may become conscious by observing the  health hazards of such harmful products and they may think twice before using it. For example, statistics released by Cancer Research Institute in the UK revealed that,in 2009  the number of lives claimed by tobacco related cancers was 1,4000. But,after two years this figure came down to 79,000.This shift was because of the UK government's initiative on banning displays and highlighting dangers of tobacco products across the nation.
                                         In short, it is very much clear that banning advertisements of harmful substances in public places and displays regarding health risks of the same can make changes in the attitude of People.So,it is our responsibility to encourage such constructive activities all over the world.
Brilliant work rosh. keep it up, you will  make it this time. for sure
