Disadvantages of Smoking Cigarette:

According to the Adult Smoking Research, it is said that smoking cause’s cancer 90% of lung cancer patients developed their disease because of smoking. Lung cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer deaths in the world. Smokers also have a significantly higher risk of developing: Bladder cancer, Kidney cancer, Throat cancer, Mouth cancer, Cancer of the pancreas, Stomach cancer, Cancer of the nose, ovarian cancer in some cases, also breast cancer.

Then why do teenagers smoke?

Many teenagers suffer from their real life problems which cause themselves to addict. They feel bored with family issue such as conflicts between parents, lack of parents’ care or divorce, etc. As a result, they turn into smoking as a way to cheer them up and get away from troubles. Adding to this, many students are unsatisfied with their marks at schools, and have arguments with their friends, some even lose their lift in life.

Hence, they regard smoking as a way to release from stress and escape from present life. Unfortunately, a lot of teenagers nowadays suffer from depression. Adults normally don’t give such things much attention because they believe that teenagers cannot depression.


My Conclusion:

But my question here: Is it true that smoking is injurious to health?

1. If smoking is injurious to health then why government have not banned all smoking manufacturing companies in India!

2. According to some tax analyst it is said that the high tax rate and payers are smokers only in top list. Is it true?

3. There is possible solution that if smoker cannot avoid smoking he/she can shift to E- cigarette. Even e-cigarette is also harm then why it is not banned?

4. Occasionally smoking can cause cancer! Is there any research prediction? Not on the list!

5. How much the average cheap cigarette cost and costly cigarette cost? No different in smoking cigarette taste and preference but smokers prefer good one right!

6. Finally my opinion  - smoking is not injurious to health. But do not smoke in front new born babies, especially in hospital environment and petroleum spots.

7. According to World Health Survey Researchers or doctors says 90% of smokers are estimated to have begun smoking before the age of 20; therefore it is necessary to reduce the number of youths who start smoking before this age in order to reduce the total number of smokers.

 Some Good Health Tips:
*Do not forget to brush twice a day.
*After smoking have in babul gums.
*Have at least 4 fruits juices every day.
*Try to add raw vegetables in morning diet.
*Do not have water before or after smoking.
*Have 2 glasses of milk every day and avoid coffee and tea.
*Avoid sugar made sweets an include milk made sweets in your afternoon diet.
