Why Smoking is Injurious to Health Essay for Children | Paragraph

December 16, 2017 by Study Mentor Leave a Comment

Smoking is a habit which soon takes the form of addiction and it becomes a life long vice difficult to get rid of. In older days smoking had been a family tradition such as pipe smoking.

Later cigarette smoking became a fashion among the youth mostly .Tobacco smoking is not less than an epidemic in the youth of this country. Since we see our favourite actors smoking a cigar or a cigarette in movies and shows we tend to imitate it.

We have a natural inclination to get fascinated by such flamboyance acts, simply because of a tag, that ‘Smoking is cool’ and also for the simple reason that our role model is doing such an act. But, the fact remains that, tobacco smoking in any form is not only injurious to health, but life threatening.

The tobacco smoke directly harms our lungs and other respiratory organs. It is not only injurious to health but is also a huge drain on our pocket. Many families are ruined due to smoking. Smoking not only harms the addicted person but also affects other people as passive smokers. The children and infants of a family are especially at risk from it.

What is the most priceless gift given to everyone on this planet? It is the gift of life, which remains unnoticed until our own unwanted habits become the reason for its degradation. Active smoking/ Passive smoking causes various respiratory disorders like, asthma and lung cancer.

It also effects the heart functioning and leads to heart attack, coronary heart disease, swelling and bursting of blood vessels and various neurological disorders.

Awareness Campaigns and Statutes

With an aim to promote  awareness among general public , various anti-smoking campaigns as well as government initiatives have come to play an important role in curbing such  bad habits . Street plays, capacity building, research campaigns, public participation and pressure from civil societies and NGO’s have brought about a silver lining in this dismal state of affairs.

With such initiatives, it has now become mandatory to devote 85% space to anti-smoking warnings on packets of cigarettes and other tobacco products. One of the initiatives taken by the Union Ministry has proposed a fine of Rs. 1000 for smoking in Public area, gardens, open spaces and residential area.

It has also pressed the issue of removal of designated smoking areas in previously allowed areas like hotels/restaurants.

Conclusion

Smoking has only bad effect on our health. It has potential to ruin families, societies and nations. We need to save our future generations from the devastating effects of this vice.
