Smoking & Youth!

Today I would like to draw your attention towards this serious issue of increasing use of cigarettes in the   youth.It is considers as a trend and taken lightly in society but infact it is a slow poison which is taking you towards your death faster day by day. 

Smoking is a very bad habit and still it is very famous.The list of diseases caused by smoking is so long but few are cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases and diabetes. Smokers are not only harming themselves but also harming other people around them by means of "passive smoking"

Passive smoking

   is the inhalation of smoke, by persons other than the intended "active" smoker. It occurs when tobacco smoke enters an environment, causing its inhalation by people within that environment.These people are being affected without any intention.This really effects the health of kids living in this environment.

Role of Media 

There is a very important role played by the media.The main characters are made so attractive and also shown to be smoking in that series or films.This really effects the mind of a young person who is getting impressed by the character.

Role of Family

Family plays an important role in the habit building of a child. First of all you need to quit and hate smoking yourself in order to advice others to do so.Keep an eye on your child ,the company he keeps and stay close to him/her.Get them involved in any sports or creative activity.

Role of government

Role of government is also very important.They should limit production of cigarettes if not stop.The retailers should be strictly ordered not to sell this to youngsters.Stop the promotion of this industry.

Here I would like to share a pathetic fact.

If you watch films you must know what bollywood is.Indian government has ordered its censor board to play a public service message before every film about the harms of smoking.But on the other hand Indian government holds 32% shares in this industry.(Hindustan times)

Share the message . Help spread the awareness :)
