To start with according to the survey carried out by World
Health Organization(WHO) on July 2015.
Smoking kills around six million people
each every year out of whom five million are active smokers while around
600,000 are passive smokers. Active smokes are the people who smoke the cigarette
themselves. Passive smokers are the people who do not smoke but constantly
exposed to smoke produced by cigarettes.
For example, if there is a smoker in a family, the people who spend time around
the active smoker such as children and other members of the family may come
under the category of passive smoker.
Cigarettes contain a substance called ‘nicotine’ which is not
only makes people addicted to smoking but also affects the heart, lungs and
blood vessels. If consumed regularly and in high amount, nicotine increases the
risk of heart attack, stroke and chronic lung diseases. Most of the deaths
caused by smoking occur due to lung cancer. Other death causing diseases due to
smoking include heart related and respiratory diseases . it is wonder why
people even after knowing that cigarette is slow poison. The main reason is
most of them starts at a young age, without being fully aware about the hazards
of smoking. Some start due to peer pressure, some due to television, movies,
and also some for Style. Nepal Government also Makes strict to smoke in Public
Places
All in all, it’s shame that the laws related to buying and
selling cigarettes is as good as none. So lets Stop Smoking . Be a role model
to our children, Society and stop them for becoming Passive Smokers and risking
their lives as well.
