‘QUIT SMOKING BEFORE SMOKING QUITS YOU’

Many awareness campaigns are being carried out to make people aware of the illeffects of smoking. 'Smoking is injurious to health', is a popular slogan propagated all over the world. Everyone is well aware of the health risks associated with smoking, yet children and teenagers are still eager to try it.
There might be many reasons why teens prefer to smoke inspite of constant awareness programs. Causes may be enormous and complex and depression or frustration could be some of them. Is the educational system trying to pressurize the teens? Or are limitless entertainment programmes in Goa  encouraging them? are big questions that should be looked upon.
Most adult smokers begin smoking as teenagers, so advising teens to quit smoking is the best way to promote good health.
Smoking is restricted in almost all public places and cigarette companies are no longer allowed to advertise on TV, radio and other magazines.
It is  said that once you start, its hard to stop. So before getting addicted, its better not to start smoking at all. We should try not to puff our life away.
