It is believed that people who begin smoking at an early age are more likely to become drug addicts at a later stage in life. According to a survey, most drug addicts were people who began smoking between the ages 8 and 15. Smokers are easily inclined towards soft drugs like cannabis and thereafter to hard drugs, including brown sugar, marijuana and other strong narcotics. Tobacco was first introduced in Europe in the mid16th century, from where it spread to almost all countries of the word. In Nepal, hukka and cigarette smoking and tobacco chewing are popular forms of tobacco consumption. Most people in the Terai smoke bidis. Scientific research on smoking has revealed that the bidi has more harmful ingredients than a cigarette. The tendu leaf used to wrap bidis contains harmful ingredients. Scientific research has also confirmed that smoking is the single most important factor behind premature mortality worldwide. It has also been found that regular smoking causes various physical ailments. Cigarette smokers are prone to lung cancer, more so in the case of chain smokers. According to medical experts, oral, pharyngeal and oesophageal cancers are generally the result of smoking. Those who are inveterate smokers are more likely to get heart attacks. Even family members of smokers are at risk of smoking-related ailments. Women whose husbands smoke regularly are also at a higher risk of getting infected with lung cancer in comparison to those whose husbands do not smoke. Babies born to women who smoke during pregnancy are found to be lighter in weight than those born to women who do not smoke. They are also not fully developed. An increasing amount of nicotine in the mother's body hampers breast milk production. Unfortunately, our government has, so far, not taken any effective campaign against smoking. A complete ban must be imposed on all forms of advertisement related to smoking. A broad-based campaign against the disadvantages of smoking will certainly have an impact, and help promote a non-smoking culture in Nepal. Recently, the Indian government resorted to passing an anti-smoking bill in parliament. According to this bill, smoking around public places, including educational institutions, public and private offices, railway or bus stations, hospitals and airports will be strictly prohibited by law. Can't Nepal pass a similar kind of bill? The government alone can't be successful in stopping the people's smoking habits. For this, everyone must co-operate. Everyone must understand that anti-smoking campaigns are meant to discourage smoking habits in the people and promote a healthy life. © Copyright 2006 by CigarettesOn.Com |
