Quiting Smoking - What needs to be done?
from: Rob Mellor
Revolutionary move is the need of the hour. Smoking is the deadly disease of the day that is taking our society in its grip by leaps and bound. Every second person that we see around is inhaling and exhaling the cigar. Smoking has become a habit of many and people take it very casually. It has become a symbol of fashion and modernism.
How smoking is started
Many people start smoking as a step towards socializing. They do so to show the society that they are also a part of it and can gel well with it. The younger generation that leaves their homes to conquer life starts smoking to mix well with the society. They think that they will be accepted easily in the society if they do what the others do, whether it is right or wrong. Younger generation often follows the footsteps of their elderly and seniors. When they see their parents smoking, they do the same without any hesitation.
What is needed today?
We need to bring a revolution in our society and uproot the deadly disease. This can be achieved best by educating people about the harmful consequences of smoking. People should be made aware about the harm they are doing to themselves viz. health loss and money loss. Tobacco makes our hair and clothes stink. It stains our teeth and our mouth smells foul. Money expended on cigarettes is a complete waste. They should be made to understand that hard earned money should be expensed only constructively. Further parents and seniors need not to smoke in front of their children, or for that matter at homes. They should rather take up the matter with their children as a piece of educational advice and discuss it openly with them in the right perspective.
Government’s role in this
Also the government and other authorities should organize “Quit Smoking” programs and campaigns. Celebrities should be asked to participate in these campaigns and propagate the same for a noble cause. Medical camps should be put up where free medical aid and assistance should be provided to the sufferers. Teachers and coaches of various sports should educate the athletes about the ill effects of smoking and convince them to quit it. Flagrant use of cigarettes in movies and other TV shows should be banned because many actors are ideals for the younger generation. At last prevention is better than cure so one should be over cautious at the initial stages itself and should not lay prey to the deadly disease.
