August 17, 2009

Tobacco production is an global issue that continues to increase every year and all year round. The environment is taking a downfall because tobacco production causing our environment problems and people problems. A good example is child labor. Many tobacco farms need child laborers; this is uncalled for and disgusting.

Tobacco is also using up a lot of water. It’s known that pesticides are added to the water used that results in soiled water supplies. There is also need for a bunch of wood because the wood can cure tobacco leaves. All those trees used for something that can and will kill human beings. The forests are becoming more depleted just to put tobacco plantations there. This messes up the soil and leads to soil degradation that we do not want. The land is impacted a lot by tobacco products and there doesn’t seem to be any stopping the production of tobacco anytime soon.
