The ill effects of cigarettes and chewing tobacco

 The ill-effects of cigarettes and tobacco are not a new topic of discussion. This has been going on for years. With any product, there are advantages and disadvantages. Some people like to stick to the product because they benefit from it while some people in spite of the disadvantages like to stick to it because it becomes a habit.

For instance if we take the mobile phone, continuously using mobile phones causes harm to the human body but we still continue using them because our day to day interaction with family, friends and colleagues  and the need of staying connected depends on them.

Coming back to cigarettes and tobacco, the government is taking all the precautions to put hoardings and staging live shows to impact the users on what could happen to them with the regular use of cigarettes and tobacco, but almost everybody turns a blind eye towards these life affecting causes. Lots is spent on these awareness programs, but only a few are impacted and that too for a little while.
A normal pack of cigarettes clearly reads that "Cigarette smoking is injurious for health" but we see working men and women in corporate world holding a cigarette. This may be a life style for them to mix up with others in their group. The common man is too trapped in this habit. What about young boys, the ones who go to schools and colleges and how easily they catch this harmful habit. The instructions on the pack do not matter to them, but the macho man style should be flaunted.

Secondly, the FOPs on chewing tobacco packets look scary. A person's mouth is shown full of dreadful ulcers and in spite of that, people enjoying chewing it. It's a different kind of joy to have tobacco in their mouths for hours together and then spit it out on roads. It is said that while working or doing any tedious work, having tobacco in mouth gives energy to carry out the same. But what happens after that?

The long hours of having tobacco in their mouths for hours gives rise to germs which penetrate the teeth, resulting in sickness and incurable diseases like cancer which may lead to death.

A person puts himself in pain and also makes his other family members a part of his suffering. It is so painful for mothers to see their children suffering and sometimes children watch their parents going through the same suffering.

What is the use of putting warnings and images on packs of cigarettes and chewing tobacco if nobody gives them a glance? The only motive of people seems to be enjoying life with the same bad habits for as long as possible, without looking back.

In spite of these being harmful products, there are many vendors who sell them. Therefore, everybody is hands in glove……………………without thinking of the circumstances of this killer habit.
