Tobacco and alcohols are two types of drugs which are allowed legally in majority of the world assuming that they have lesser side effects than other drugs. Alcohol is still banned in many Muslim countries because it is not allowed for Muslims to drink by their religion. Pakistan is also a country where public selling, buying and dealing of alcohol or wine is prohibited and is only allowed for Non-Muslims to buy alcohol from a alcohol selling license holder dealer. Tobacco is allowed here legally but only for the people of above 18 year age.
These are the limits by Pakistani law but to say with sorry, this law is only present in Law books and read by Lawyers only. Implementation ratio on this law is nearly 0% in whole Pakistan. Whoever want to buy any of these drugs can buy easily from anywhere without any obstruction. Policemen who are deployed for checking these laws are themselves addicted to these things so we can understand why they don't try to ensure implementation on these laws.

Considering the fact that trade of alcohol or wine is only allowed to Non-Muslims of above 18 years in this Islamic State of Pakistan by law, we should die of shame when we see Muslim children of ages upto 10 drinking alcohol and becoming habitual of it. It is not only an assumption but an eye witnessed fact. It is about alcohol which isn't allowed and people don't presume it a good thing and condemn drinkers but we should keep an eye on the fact that youth of our Elite class and the children from our Labor class are becoming addicted to alcohols and no one there to stop them. Night clubs, dancing clubs and bars situated in major cities of Pakistan are flourishing this addiction. This is how elite class youth is getting into this.
We also see children of our labor class getting caught to prohibited drugs addiction including alcohols and tobacco. Very little children upto 8 years can be seen drinking wine or smoking. Though smoking tobacco is allowed only to Pakistani adult citizens but the fact is a majority of people get addicted to smoking in their teenage and their are also those who start smoking from their childhood. Cigarettes and Shisha are widely used smoking tobacco methods all over the country. Cigarette is also harmful and youth admit it but still they smoke just for fashion and enjoyment. Shisha is a modernized form of Old Hookah in which tobacco is flavorized by adding different flavors. Youth defend shisha by saying that it has not harmful effects but the fact is it is more harmful than cigarettes. The tobacco in shisha has the same effects as any of other smoking factor. A single sip of shisha emits smoke equals to 7 cigarettes and a complete round emits equal to smoke of 200 cigarettes which is severely harmful.
Another problem is that girls are also enjoying these drugs and becoming addicted to alcohol, shisha and cigarettes. They don't consider it bad things. A girl gives birth to children of next generation so what can we expect from our future generations if the mothers of nation are caught in these severe addictions. Government and Parents must play their part to keep the children away from these addictions in order to save the nation.
