Option 1: OPINION ESSAY
Currently, the consumption of alcohol in Spain is the highest in all of Europe. In Spain, young people, in the last decade, begin to consume more and more young addictive substances,but alcohol and tobacco consumption is a responsible consumption although each time people start to consume earlier.
In my opinion I think that it is a consumption under the responsibility of each one, if you know how to control the intake of alcohol or tobacco they should not be prohibit it even though it has been harmful to health is a legal addiction , despite being illegal, they will continue to be consumed as other addictive substances.
Everything in large quantities is harmful, the important thing is to have a responsible consumption. These substances should remain legal only for people over 18 years. What the government could do is to be more persistent in the sale of alcohol and tobacco to people under 18 ,who in many places and establishments do not ask for ID or do not care if they are not 18.
From my point of view, I believe that these substances should not be prohibited, but that responsible consumption has to be controlled more.
