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.
