Dear Friends,
What about taking a resolution to
quit smoking this year ?
Most people begin the habit of smoking in their teen age or of early adulthood. And they start it due any of the factors like peer pressure, emulation of icons and stars who smoke, risk taking attitude ,excitement of being a rebel, parental smoking etc.
Many teenagers develop this habit as they believe it is a step to adulthood and freedom.
We know that many of the people who are habitual smokers, are well aware of the ill effects of this deadly habit and many wants quit it also. But as it has become an addiction they are unable to move away from it easily.
Many quit smoking several times!. Mark Twain said once “
It is very easy to quit smoking. I have done it thousands of times!!!”.
Why we need to quit smoking ? Why all doctors are preaching to quit smoking whenever we go for a consultation ? Why WHO and Governments are spending billions of dollars every year on QUIT SMOKING campaigns?
Because Smoking is really a bad habit which is the major cause for various d social, economic and health problems and the tobacco / nicotine is a monster which is killing us, inch by inch, day by day.
Let us look into some of the factors.
- The tobacco tar coats the walls of lungs and tracts Like the soot in a chimney!. This tarring effect of smoking causes continuous degradation of our health system.

- By smoking we are not only risking our own health but also of others around us. passive smoking or second hand smoking causes serious health problems to people around.
