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 smoking
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 kind 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 only 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 wise 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 prepared to do so?
Tobacco use is going to
kill nearly 10 million people each year, mostly in their productive middle
ages. It is estimated that 75% of these deaths will occur in the developing
countries mainly due to the high 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 increasing 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 same 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 happy life and just say no to smoking.
