There are no Benefits by smoking or consuming Tobacco!!!!
“Tobacco causes Painful Death“, This is the sign which comes on all Cigarette packages. But do you still wonder why people consume it and why it is sold in market. During my early teens, I was fascinated by movie actors smoking Cigarettes. I used to feel its cool and one way to impress girls. But is it really cool to smoke it?
As per research statistics from different websites, more than 25% of India population smokes, and it is one of the biggest contributors of deaths in India. Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Smoking also increases risk for tuberculosis, certain eye diseases, and problems of the immune system, including rheumatoid arthritis. It is not just the people who smoke get affected, but it also affects those who are exposed to it, especially new born babies.
In addition to the above health diseases and thousands of daily deaths, think of the amount money we spend in buy tobacco products. On an average a smoker spends around 2000 Rupees on the lower end, and some chain smokers spends thousands more. Then we spend thousands more to cure the diseases that are caused by smoking.
What are the real reasons behind smoking, some say they don’t get shit unless they have cigarette as first thing in day, some say smoking helps release stress from mind, some take it because of peer pressure, and some to impress others. But in most cases smoking habit starts during teens and in most cases it is inherited from their parents or elders. But in fact starts with being cool and then it is continued because of nicotine (substance found in tobacco) addiction. This addiction is not easy to give up, but many had successfully achieved it. There are many rehabilitation centers and doctors who will help you give away tobacco or cigarettes. When you don’t feel shy to smoke one, there you should not feel shy to take the right advice from doctors. We may not think of the smoking related issues for ourselves, but think how it is affecting near ones directly or indirectly.
Tobacco is not a costly product or something difficult to cultivate, then why is it costly? Government is aware of the all the negative benefits of Tobacco. But it is a big source of income something that goes in billions of dollars.
I have seen some deaths in my family and Tobacco was a big contributor to it. More than the person who dies, it is the near ones who suffer the most. I request you all to please get stop smoking on consuming it. Rather use that money to eat some good stuff and live a healthy life.
