　　Most of the ill health we suffer could be prevented if people made more effort to change their life styles. Instead， many people continue to smoke， to drink excessively to eat unbalanced diets. How can governments help people protect their health and avoid premature death?

　　Well， many of the measures which need not be expensive. One of the first preventive health measures should be an increase in taxes on tobacco to the point at which consumption falls off. The aim should be to raise the same amount of revenue from a decreasing number of people. In the short term such a policy could even raise extra money， which could then be spent on subsidizing sport so that advertising tobacco through sports sponsorship could be banned.

　　Legislation is badly needed to ban all advertising of tobacco products as it persuades people to smoke more and so is in a larger part responsible for the ill health and thousands of premature deaths caused by cancer of the lung. Other measures should be enforced， such as a much tougher health warning on cigarette packets， and tobacco companies should be made to contribute to research into a cure for lung cancer.

　　Alcoholism could be prevented by making wines， spirits and strong beers more expensive and the revenue raised could be used to set up clinics to help the people who already have a drinking problem and want to give up. Similarly all advertising of alcohol should be banned and compensation paid to families of alcoholics who die of the liver disease.
