Smoking is a bad habit. It creates a lot of health hazards not only to smokers but also to non-smokers. Despite warning on the cigarette packets and persistent anti-smoking awareness documentaries, people at large fail to give up this habit. The young people mostly fall victim to this addiction.
Science says that smoking is at the root of a number of diseases. It causes respiratory troubles, aggravates hypertension and blood pressure. It may also cause cancer.
However, smokers have their own arguments to offer in support of their case. They believe that smoking relieves their stress and strain. It is only a lame excuse. For smoking never promotes efficiency in man. Smokers hardly know that they make other people suffer the most. Smoking in public places has been prohibited, but this continues to be flouted. But law alone cannot combat this problem. Mass awareness is the best answer to this social nuisance. Recently, the government has ordered to display the warning with terrible pictures on the tobacco packets which should cover at least 40 percent of the front panel. Let us hope that it would instill fear in the minds of smokers
