Say No To Smoking

Quality (64)
Helpful (65)
Hifzur Rehman Is there any adventure or fun in smoking? Absolutely not! Don’t be fooled by the fun packed advertisements of the cigarette making companies. There is no “taste”, no “fun” and no “adventure” in smoky cigarettes. These are just the slogans of the cigarette making companies which are multiplying their profits at the cost of the precious human lives. The greedy multi-national multi-billion dollar cigarette manufacturers are killing people quietly without being noticed by anyone. According to the WHO report, every 6.5 seconds a person in the world dies prematurely due to cancer, heart attack, respiratory or some other benignant of tobacco related diseases. No doubt, the tobacco is the fourth most common risk factor for diseases worldwide. If you are a smoker then think seriously for a moment and decide whether you are mentally OK. I very much doubt because you are spending money on the purchase of an item which is not single risking your life by unintentionally inviting numerous diseases to attack your body but also risking the lives of other people who are forced to inhale second hand smoke, which is more dangerous than smoking. If you smoke inside your house then you also risk the life of your spouse and children. Is it a sapient decision to keep on smoking? Say no to smoking, if you want to live a normal healthy life free from diseases. Why not take a bold decision NOW and quit smoking immediately! Are you braced to do so? Tobacco use is going to kill nearly 10 million people each year, mostly in their productive intermediate ages. It is estimated that 75% of these deaths will occur in the developing countries mainly due to the superior number of smokers and lack of medical facilities available there. Due to lack of knowledge and education, the number of smokers in the developing countries and poor households is growing at an alarming rate. The warning written on the cigarette packets is mostly ignored by the illiterate smokers. It is sad that the average amount spent by poor households on tobacco is nearly the similar as the amount spent on education. A recent study in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil has proved that the more people are educated, the less they smoke. Your health is your best asset. Protect your life from painful tobacco related diseases. Live a healthy and felicitous life and just say no to smoking. Hifzur Rehman © 2004 – All Rights Reserved. About The Author Hifzur Rehman is the author of popular articles on self-improvement.
