Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 8 Week 3: Smoking Kills

Greetings, Steemians of STEEMIT HEALTH, how are you all? This is the third week of the Steemit Engagement Challenge season 8. Today I am here to take part in the beautiful contest organized by STEEMIT HEALTH. The topic of this contest is "Smoking Kills."

Give your views about the phrase "Smoking Kills!".

Smoking is spreading rapidly all over the world, and it has especially ruined the young generation. Students in colleges and universities are suffering from this, and it is a matter of great concern. If I talk about my university, there are also many young students who smoke.

As we all know, smoking is very dangerous for our health, and we should avoid it very much. Every year, many people in this world suffer from many diseases due to smoking, the most dangerous of which is lung cancer. A heavy smoking habit can endanger our lives.

Smoking can make us very weak, both physically and mentally. When we smoke, dirty smoke goes into our lungs and causes a lot of damage to them. It can also make us suffer from heart disease and many other cancers that are dangerous for our health.

According to a study, seven million people die every year due to smoking in this world, and from this we can estimate how much more dangerous smoking is for us and how it kills us. This is a huge number, and it is a matter of concern to us that every year 7 million people die from smoking alone.

What are the main reasons why people become addicted to smoking?

There are many reasons for smoking addiction, some of which I will mention now. To me, the first reason is that some people sit in the company of the wrong people who are addicted to smoking, and because of sitting among these people, some people can become addicted to smoking.

People who move away from their homes and live in hostels for study or for jobs also fall victim to smoking because they are away from home and there is no one to take care of them. Because parents are not able to take proper care of them due to distance, they become victims of smoking.

Some people sometimes smoke as a joke, and later on they get addicted to smoking. I have also seen with my own eyes some cases where people started smoking as a joke and later became addicted to it. Also, sometimes people become addicted to smoking due to anxiety.

And one of the most important reasons why people start smoking can be because of a breakup in a relationship. Because when some people break up with their lover, in this regard, they smoke cigarettes from time to time to reduce their tension, and later they become addicted to them. So, these are some reasons.

Are you addicted to smoking, or someone you may know have addicted to smoking? What changing have you seen after addiction?

I thank God a million times, and it is God's favor on me that I am not addicted to smoking. I belong to a family where smoking is frowned upon, and those who smoke are severely reprimanded. I have never touched a cigarette since I was born, as I hate smoking.

But yes, I have some friends in university who smoke, and they smoke 10 to 15 cigarettes a day. In my hostel, there are also some people who smoke, and they are now very addicted to it. Here again, I will thank God that I am safe even living among such people.

If I talk about change, these people's behavior has changed a lot, and their health is also not good. When I joined the hostel, they didn't smoke, and their health was very good. But now, their health is not so good, and their behavior is also rude.

A boy has become a mental patient, and he continues to misbehave with everyone. It's all because of smoking, because he used to be very good. Sometimes I don't believe it's the same guy, and it's all because of smoking. I pray to God to guide them all.

What should we do to reduce the rate of smoking addiction?

There are many steps we can take to reduce the smoking habit. First of all, the governments of our countries should conduct seminars in which people can be made aware of the dangers of smoking. This will make people aware, and they can avoid this bad habit.

Also, there should be a law that says that if a person smokes under the age of 18, he should be fined so that he learns his lesson. Because most people get used to smoking in childhood, we can control a lot if this law is implemented. because people will be afraid.

Apart from this, we should keep an eye on our younger siblings to see if they are not indulging in this bad activity. If we keep an eye on them and prevent them from doing these bad habits, we can control this much more. So in this way, we can reduce the rate of smoking addiction.
