Stop SmokingAccording to the latest findings of the WHO, after every 8 seconds someone dies because of smoking incessantly. Everywhere, there are smokers and sadly, teenage smokers are on the rise. The main reason behind this is that smoking is considered as a cool and awesome fashion statement by all smokers. The government and private organizations appeal to stop smoking but no one bothers to even listen. Even on the day of World No Tobacco Day, smokers dont bother and continue with their smoking. Which ever product you use to smoke, may it be hookah or a cigarette, the common ingredient in all the smoking products is tobacco. Tobacco, when consumed directly or indirectly via smoking causes some life threatening diseases. Diseases like cancer and heart-attacks are the most common aftermaths of smoking, not to mention various lung diseases as well. Various diseases relating to infertility, skin, brain, etc. are also caused by smoking. Actually, people are so addicted to smoking that even if they would know all the harmful effects, they still wouldn't stop smoking. They just want to smoke more and more. Even if your family does not matter much to you, consider small children. Children around you can develop diseases because of inhaling the smoke from the atmosphere. The smaller the children,the more fragile their body system is. Being a smoker you should know that the smoke emitted during smoking contains highly hazardous chemicals which can impact children very fast. Ask yourself if you have a right to endanger the lives of little children, Another well known fact is that children imitate whatever they see. If you continue smoking, the children who see you regularly would not think twice about copying it. They dont know its harmful effects because they trust that you, as an adult, are doing the right thing. Thus, without realizing it, your behavior might influence these innocent children to become chain smokers and even cause their early deaths. With the increased luxury in lifestyle, women have begun to smoke. They don't care to stop smoking even during pregnancy. To all women, especially those who are pregnant, here is a humanitarian appeal: Please do not endanger your babys life. Your baby is affected by the smoke you inhale. Your babys development becomes affected too. Hence, if you continue smoking, there could be some complications in your pregnancy. Because of smoking, the child may be born with some birth disabilities or even worse, the child may not even live. Lastly, remember this. If someone offers you and encourages you to smoke, then he or she is not doing you a favour. Please avoid such people. Take responsibility for the life of others around you, take care of yourself and stop smoking now. |
