Tobacco consumption in our country is mostly through smoking and you may be surprised to read this but it is true that a person who smokes not only suffers from the ill effects of tobacco but also the innocent person suffers from the effects of tobacco smoke in the body of the people around him. This means that you are unknowingly smoking even if you are not smoking.
According to doctors, there are 7,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, 50 of which can cause cancer. So if you come in contact with a smoker, these chemicals also enter your body and stay longer. You may have heard many times that if a person dies of lung cancer but he is never addicted. So stay away from smokers.
Now you say how can I avoid this or how can I protect myself? If you live in a city, you can't protect yourself from such smoking for long. Because there are people around the city smoking cigarettes. The only solution is to create awareness and get people to quit smoking on their own. May 31 is a special day for this.
But this is not the only day to raise awareness. This awareness has to be done 365 days of the year. May 31 is just a day to remind people that we are still not free from tobacco. Your battle is yet to come. You too, as an intelligent citizen, should take part in this battle. If you smoke, try to quit. If you are a non-addict, encourage others to give up the habit, even if you can't explain it to strangers, you can certainly explain it to acquaintances.
