Cigarette The Killer (ePub)

Due to second-hand smoke, worldwide 40 crore children become ill with Asthma out of which 20 percent are badly affected. In Several countries, second-hand smoke is considered as cancerous. Globally around more than 200 crore youth in the age group of 12 to 18 years live in the houses where at least one family member smokes bidis or cigarettes in their houses. A study roundabout in America found that in 50 to 70 percent children's blood contains nicotine's one component. Because of second-hand smoking countries around the world are very upset. In Shanghai (China) 50 percent of youths are caught in the tide of smoking. In China 54 crore people have engrossed in second-hand smoking and out of which 18 crores are in the age group of under 15 years. According to W.H.O. researchers tell that every year more than six lakh people die because of second-hand smack around the world.

It is unfortunate to know that in the Hiroshima accident, three lakh people had died but 14 times death occurs today every year because of tobacco against which no concrete action is being taken. Why no one raises voice sternly in spite of 55000 people, die daily telling us drowning of five Titanics as in the Titanic incident 11000 deaths had occurred. Instead of action tobacco companies are misguiding the youths by showing tobacco as an ego cum energy boosting product, bringing liveliness, females being attracting towards tobacco eating people. The warning that they write as tobacco chewing is injurious to health is less appealing than the impressive and appealing messages that they pass through smoking and chewing tobacco via their energy-boosting lively advertisements. These tobacco manufacturers are making their pockets heavy day by day with the increasing population towards tobacco; instead of allowing them to do publicity of their products rather, they should be forced to stop such products with regards to humanity by driving anti-tobacco drives.
