Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 8 Week 3: Smoking Kills
Designed on canva
I don't know if there is anyone who is still ignorant of the effect of smoke on our health as humans. I believe smoking is one of the most deadly things that anyone could ever involve or herself.
One thing that interests me is the fact that the cigarette-producing company has not placed its interest in making money to be its priority, rather it has made it clear to its consumers that whosoever is into smoking, or is liable to die young. What justice and level of truthfulness could exceed this?
If the producers can openly tell you that their products are toxic to your health, I believe it is enough for everyone to think twice before smoking. As it is very dangerous to our well-being. Truly, smoking kills, and there is no two way about it.
Talking about why people are addicted to smoking, I can tell you that it surprise to see someone smoking. The reason is, I see no benefits in it, and it is irritating to me. Nevertheless, most smokers give reasons like getting relief from stress and depression when smoking. In essence, smoking helps to relieve stress.
Another reason they give is, smoking is enjoyable. I can't understand what is enjoyable in smoking, but they claim that they find joy in it. Could be the odor or flavor that gives joy? Well, it is best known to them.
Talking about someone close to me who is addicted to smoking. I can tell you that they are many of them. They are so rampant in society today. The annoying part is, some young people are also smoking addicts. To me, it is a shame for a young guy or girl to get addicted to smoking.
Concerning the changes, I usually notice in people who are addicted to smoking, it is nothing to write home about. Their lips turn black, their teeth change from white to brown, and also their hands take another complexion. It is also proven that their liver and heart also get affected, and that is the more reason why dying young is liable to them.
To me, the best way to put a stop to anything considered harmful is by creating awareness of it as a danger to our well-being. You will believe me that some people, especially those who don't know how to read and write don't have a clear understanding of the effects of smoking. As such, I believe that setting up a committee that can create awareness will go a long way in solving the issue of smoking addictions.
Another way is by making the price of cigarettes very high and expensive. I said this because I have noticed that the poor are more addicted to smoking. After all, to them, it helps relieve stress and gives them joy. As such, if the prices of cigarettes can be high, then the number of cigarettes that they will consume will be limited, and probably they can stop it.
I do not doubt that the phrase which says smoking kills is indeed true. Smoking is as dangerous as anything to our health. Remember, it destroys the liver and the heart. As such, it will be a favor to the side of whosoever is addicted to smoking to stop.
I now call on @eliany, @yakspeace, and @ishayachris to participate.
