Smoking Kills
Sanchi chhabra
‘A Cigarette is the only consumer product which when used as directed kills its consumer’.
People find it scrumptious, advertisements make it seem divine and marvelous, and actors and people we look up to don’t think its bad.
Moreover our peers or at times our own family members persuade us to have one. Health experts on the other hand tell us its dangerous. Ex-smokers are relieved to have kicked the habit and many smokers wish they'd never started. So, what should you do?
I know they say, "Ignorance is Bliss”. What we don’t know cannot possibly harm us...but what is necessary to give up on smoking is 'AWARENESS' because being ignorant about it wont really help.
Read through it and decide for urself what do you want to choose???

Smoking might influence 17 different sorts of cancer of which lung cancer is the most obvious. Besides this cancer in throat, oral cavity, oesophagus, pancreas, stomach, kidney and bladder are also smoking diseases.
Cigarette smoke contains around 4,000 chemicals, many of which are known to be highly poisonous and very harmful - over 40 are known to cause cancer.
Smoking is a major cause of heart disease, aneurysms, bronchitis, emphysema, and stroke, and it contributes to the severity of pneumonia and asthma.
We lose and average of 15 years of our life because of smoking.
The most shocking aspect of the whole story is when a smokers lites up a cigarette he might just inhale 15% smoke of the cigarette but the people or the non smokers around him/her actually take up the rest 85%.

The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror - not the glamour and sophistication the pushers in the tobacco industry try to portray. If you were smart enough to avoid smoke from a pile of burning leaves in your vicinity, why in the world would you voluntarily suck smoke from the burning leaves of a cigarette?
Talking of us, the youth in particular the 16 to 20 year old begins smoking for psychosocial reasons. The act of smoking is symbolic…It signifies adulthood. He smokes to enhance his image in the eyes of his peers.
SMOKING KILLS-It’s a smooth reaper, if you’re killed, you shall lose a very important part of your life.
We have our lives in our own hands…we shouldn’t sell it to cigarettes because the price is too high to pay.
SO WE GET TO MAKE THE CHOICE….
