Give your views about the phrase "Smoking Kills!

From my point of view, in our short life we ​​try to be as healthy as possible. But many people think that smoking is not a bad habit or harming the body. It is followed only by those who are totally addicted to smoking. Due to which they are reluctant to accept that smoking harms the human body. All of a sudden I was quite surprised to see a girl smoking while walking on the street where earlier only boys were addicted to it now girls are also quite addicted to it leaning out on smoking.

About 2.5 million people in our Bangladesh are addicted to smoking out of 16 million people. The World Health Organization is constantly trying to highlight the harmful aspects of smoking to the people of the world. Only efforts are being made so that people can keep themselves away from this harmful influence. Due to smoking, people's life expectancy is decreasing by 10 to 20 years. Through various discussions and reviews I have seen that every year around one crore people become addicted to smoking. About a thousand chemicals enter a person's body in one puff of smoking.

The most harmful chemical is nicotine because of this nicotine people become addicted to it and cannot quit smoking easily. Due to this nicotine, various diseases are nested in the human body. And the most harmful disease is cancer. That leads people to death. And our country is not so advanced now that cancer is treated and a person can recover. So it can be said that the one who gets cancer is certain to die.

Not only does it harm yourself, smoking can even kill a small child. I am most surprised when it is written on the packaging that smoking is harmful to health. Yet it is produced by humans and constantly consumed by humans. And not only that, the second hand smoke is harming us constantly. A little awareness and caution can save the beautiful lives around us.

What are the main reasons why people become addicted to smoking?

If we observe, we may find many reasons why smoking has fallen into the very common habit of children now. It may be through a close friend of his. There are many who want to taste it only once and then they cannot quit because of nicotine addiction. And many people adopt this habit from their dear friend. Smoking habit can also be due to our daily life. Loneliness, stress, initiative, depression and mental problems also make people interested in smoking. Smoking can be a way to deal with problems in your daily life.

Another aspect that I have mentioned before is that smoking is now socially acceptable and is emerging in front of us today as another. The number of smoking is constantly increasing. It is known by touch but people learn it from each other with time.

Are you addicted to smoking, or someone you may know have addicted to smoking? What changing have you seen after addiction?

By the grace of Allah I can say that no one in my family is addicted to smoking and I myself have never shown any interest in it. Last year was a sad time for my family at least. My mother's younger brother suddenly became very ill. Later, after seeing the doctor, we realized that he had cancer.

And both of his kidneys have failed. He used to smoke a lot. Even after my mother forbade him many times, he did not listen. He died only at the age of 35. He had cancer as well as heart problems due to smoking. Due to which he started having a lot of breathing problems towards the end.

He was at the very last minute due to which even seeing the doctor did not work. My uncle passed away at a very young age and since then I tell people to stop smoking and I fear it a lot.

What should we do to reduce the rate of smoking addiction?

If I ever get the chance I would be interested in taking some steps to reduce the rate of smoking addiction. If we try something from our mind or try to solve a problem then Allah himself creates different ways in front of us. However, I am sharing with you some tricks of my own. First we can develop a method to eliminate it in education. Can provide information to people about the risks of smoking and the benefits of quitting. We can make them aware about their health. This can create a small talk in various school programs and can also work in public health campaigns.

I think we should take a look at our government too. A ban on tobacco products is very necessary. The government should look into the sale and production and ban it so that people can be aware. The family should be more responsible for its own child. How his child is mixing with friends, with whom he hangs out, should be looked at. Because we all may know, heaven with the righteous and destruction with the wicked.

We can talk about the importance of human life. Perhaps we will know how much smoking diminishes the importance of human life.

Thanks for reading.
