Smoking not only destroys a person, it destroys a family. People become addicted to it even after knowing its dangerous aspects. As a result of this bad addiction, many wives have lost their husbands; many children have lost their fathers; and many parents have lost their beloved children. It affects not only the addict but the entire family.
Hello friends, I hope you are all well. There are people around us who are addicted to smoking, and no matter how much we explain to them about its ill effects, they don't want to understand it. Through today's contest, I will share with you why smoking can destroy a family.
Give your views about the phrase "Smoking Kills!"
"Smoking kills" is a well-known proverb that warns by highlighting the great risk that smoking poses to public health. We know that is can lead to people's deaths, and besides, we have seen many are fighting various terrible diseases like lung cancer, stroke, heart disease, etc. before death.
It is not only those who smoke who are harmed, but also those around them who take it. Because different types of chemicals are used to make it, which can cause death in people. Moreover, the nicotine contained in it, which is a tobacco product, can destroy various important organs of the human body.
So we can said that through this proverb, we can warned people about its dangers and encouraged to protect their health. It has been observed in many cases that people who quit smoking are able to protect their vital organs from major health problems. So smoking must be denied.
What are the main reasons why people become addicted to smoking?
There are many reasons for people to become addicted to smoking, but the main reason is nicotine. Because it's an addictive tobacco product, when taken with cigarettes, the smoker feels calm and relaxed, becoming addicted to it.
Moreover, many people become addicted to it by associating with those groups that are involved in this addiction. In this case, it becomes very difficult to quit the addiction to smoking because they become involved in those groups with whom the addict enjoys smoking.
In many cases, it is seen that the addict smokes to relieve his stress. Because the tobacco in cigarettes can relieve the stress of the addict for a moment, the addict gets pleasure and enjoyment from it and becomes addicted to it.
Are you addicted to smoking, or someone you may know have addicted to smoking? What changing have you seen after addiction?
No, I don't smoke, and I don't like anyone who smokes. I know many people who are involved in smoking, but I have seen firsthand how harmful it can be through one person. I know an uncle who is my neighbor and who smokes regularly. I even saw him smoking in his own house.
Since my childhood, I have seen my uncle get angry with people over small talk and verbally abuse his family members. Their family often has quarrels and turmoil, and he does not take any care of or maintain the family members he has.
Besides, I often see him take medicine from the dispensary in our area. Once I saw him fall head-first in the road and then learned that he has high blood pressure.
What should we do to reduce the rate of smoking addiction?
Most people who are addicted to smoking are aware of its terrible physical damage. But still they engage in this addiction and continue to harm themselves. So first of all, they should be taught that by smoking, he is not only harming himself but also his family and society at large.
Then we can help those who want to quit smoking in different ways. If we can provide them with therapy and various resources in counseling, then the rate of smoking addiction in society will decrease a lot.
Apart from this, restrictions should be given on all products like cigarettes and tobacco, and high taxes should be enforced on these to keep the addicts away from them as much as possible. Moreover, by organizing various awareness programs about the harmful effects of smoking in society, its rate can be reduced a lot.
Conclusion
One thing I want to say about those who are addicted to smoking is that, for yourself and your family and loved ones, give up this addiction. It may be difficult to get rid of the addiction, but it is not impossible. So save yourself and save your family too.

Hola amigo 👋
Estoy de acuerdo contigo, el fumar no solo le hace daño al que fuma sino a todos los que están a su alrededor.
Dejar de fumar no es imposible solo se debe tomar la iniciativa, pero es buena idea asistir a terapia o a centros que asesoren o ayuden a dejar la adicción.
Éxitos en el concurso. Saludos 🤗
I agree with you .It not only harms the addict but also the people around them. And with the right treatment and support, people can get rid of any addiction, it just takes a lot of willpower. Thank for visiting ,Friend .
We support quality posts, and good comments anywhere, with any tags.
I agree with you that smoking has terrible physical consequences which are not only for smokers but also for the people around them. One thing I have learned is that addiction is a very complex case and teaching about the harm alone is just pouring water on a rock, it never or barely penetrates, so they often do not quit. I know a lot of people who say they have been smoking for years and nothing has happened to them. While educating them about smoking, it is also important to educate them about the addiction they have and how to fight the addiction so they can quit.
