SMOKING

Smoking is something which is prevalent all over..There are people who are addicted to smoking and can't leave without it..Then again there are another set of people who take up smoking as a style and later on get hooked to it. One of the most important factor which leads to people take up smoking is the way it is glorified in movies and television. The lack of Government initiative to combat smoking menace because of huge tax they earn from the cigarette companies have detrimental effect on the health of the people. Now the laws have been passed in the developed countries of the world to make it compulsory to have a photo of a person/body part afflicted by a smoking induced disease like cancer etc.. But lots have to be done in the developing countries where no strong laws have been passed by their respective Govt. and cigarette related deaths are more than in the western world.

Smoking allows high quantity of carcinogens to deposit in the mouth, throat and lungs.There are 4000 chemicals in the cigarette smoke. Smoking related deaths are some of the highest in the world today with more than 500,00 deaths reported in United states of America alone. Among the disease caused by cigarette smoking are vascular stenosis, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart attacks. In addition to these the smokers hair and clothes smell of a stale smoke, teeth and fingers become yellow, skin loooks unhealthy and grey and their sense of smell and taste are affected.

Therefore people who suffer from cough, Brochitis and Asthma throughout the year or on a seasonal basis must strictly abstain from smoking and passive smoking. As these people already have a very sensitive lung just imagine getting 4000 dangerous chemicals into their lung through cigarette smoking.. With the depositing of these lethal chemicals people showing cough, bronchitis and asthma symptoms get aggravated and it takes ur body a long time to fight off these aliens and restore lung to a proper working capacity. So it is important for people who are smokers and also non smokers to quit smoking beacause of many health hazards it possesses.The Government of all the countries should also try to pass more stringent laws to combat cigarette smoking habit among the people. The cigarette companies should be asked to give statutory warning about smoking with pictures of people suffering from smoking related disease.
