The evils of smoking

Smoking is one of the most harmful substances for the human body. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. It has become a fact that smoking is more important to a smoker than his main food. But this habit of smokers brings destruction to the body. Sometimes smoking can even cause death.

History of smoking: The history of smoking is as ancient as civilization. Smoking was common among the Babylonians and Egyptians in ancient times. In 2000 BC, the ancient Egyptians introduced smoking called cannabis. Which was basically a form of hookah in our country. The first tobacco cultivation in America began in the 18th century. In 1855, an American man named Washington Duke invented the first hand-made cigarette. Later, in 183, James Bonsack invented another American cigarette making machine. From which about one thousand cigarettes could be made in a day. According to Mughal paintings, the Mughals introduced smoking in the Indian subcontinent. In the subcontinent, the use of aromatic tobacco became a symbol of the nobility of the Nawabi dynasty. Later, smoking was also done with the help of hookah and chilim. Europeans spread smoking with the help of tobacco all over the world.

Types of smoking: There are different types of smoking. People smoke in different ways. Some people smoke with the help of ancient hookahs which are now found only in remote rural areas. Some people smoke with the help of pipes like in the 70's and 80's. However, nowadays most cigarettes, bidis and cigarettes are smoked. Bidis and cigarettes are the two most popular means of smoking. The main ingredient in smoking is tobacco. However, many people use marijuana and opium for smoking. Bidi or cigarettes are made from tobacco leaf powder mixed with some other ingredients.

Reasons for smoking: Smokers always argue in favor of smoking that smoking eliminates fatigue or exhaustion. They believe that smoking makes many complex thoughts easier. According to them, smoking lightens the head and makes it stormy. As a result, new energy comes and full attention can be given. That is why many people call the tobacco used in smoking a 'brain tonic'. According to smokers, smoking is very effective in reducing laziness. For them, smoking is also incomparable in leisure. Some people think that smoking is a sign of 'smartness'. Again, according to some, smoking reveals his social status and personality. However, there is no scientific basis for any explanation of smokers. They smoke mainly because of some kind of addiction.

Smoking poisoning: No matter how much smokers argue in favor of smoking, no matter how much they judge smoking, there is actually no good side to smoking. So in the language of medical science, smoking is poison. It's basically poisoning knowingly. The smoke that a person inhales as a result of smoking contains nicotine in their lungs. It may make the human brain restless for a while but leave lasting damage for the body. People do not die instantly from smoking. But its nicotine-mixed smoke slowly engulfs the lungs, rendering them useless. As a result, people are more likely to die of lung cancer. Smoking increases the incidence of diseases like cough, asthma and chest disease several times. Not only lung cancer but sometimes smoking increases the chances of life threatening diseases like mouth cancer, esophageal cancer, bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer. Smoking poses a serious risk to patients with high blood pressure. Every year, millions of people around the world die of cardiovascular problems. Which is responsible for smoking. Smoking complicates other diseases of the body. Smoking puts pregnant women at risk for a variety of cancers before the baby is born. So smoking is not just smoking, but poisoning behind the smoke.

Other harmful aspects of smoking: Smoking is not only a cause of physical harm but also has many other harmful aspects. Smoke from smoking is harmful to the environment. This smoke pollutes the environment. The stench of smoke causes suffering for others. People suffer financially as a result of smoking. Smoking not only harms smokers, but also threatens the health of those around them. Children in particular are physically harmed by other people's smoking. The demand for tobacco is increasing day by day due to the increase in smoking. As a result, thousands of hectares of land are now producing tobacco instead of food grains. If this continues, the world's food production system will one day be threatened.

Smoking and drug addiction: As a result of smoking, people easily become addicted to drugs. There are not many examples of non-smokers being addicted to drugs. But there are examples of smokers who have been addicted to drugs for a long time. Smokers are often drawn to other drugs to overcome their monotony and become addicted to drugs. Many smokers smoke bidis or cigarettes and smoke marijuana there. In the same way, many people use heroin or brown sugar again. In order to innovate in smoking, they take various drugs with the help of smoking. Most drug addicts have one thing in common when it comes to verifying their drug experience. And that is, each of them started with smoking.

Smoking is a crime: Anti-smoking laws have been enacted in the country considering the harmful aspects of smoking. Smoking in public is now a social crime. Smoking in public and in public is considered a crime and the smoker is punished. In most cases, the smoker has to pay a certain amount of money as a fine. Smoking in public is also a crime in our country. But even though there is a law, none of its implementation is seen in our country. So here everyone smokes in public and crowded areas without any hindrance. Even the policemen who are supposed to be fined smoke in public in a relaxed manner. Although other educational institutions and hospitals, including universities, are supposed to be completely smoke-free areas, we do not have proper practice here. So everyone smokes wherever they know the crime.

Things to do to prevent smoking: The most urgent and effective step in preventing smoking is the goodwill and dedicated efforts of the person. If a person consciously avoids smoking, does not want to become addicted or wants to quit smoking, he can easily stop smoking with his morale. And smoking around the world has created a situation where personal initiative alone is not enough to prevent it. Rather, on a larger scale, the government must take action against it. Various measures have already been taken to control this situation in foreign countries. As a result people have become aware. The law must be strictly enforced to prevent smoking. First of all, government control and ban on tobacco production is needed. All kinds of advertisements, promotions of various smoking materials and materials should be stopped and banned. Higher taxes should be levied on the marketing and sale of bidis and cigarettes produced for smoking. Meetings and seminars should be held on the harmful aspects of smoking in government and private initiatives. The anti-smoking campaign should be run in the media. Many may be impressed by the smoking scene of the favorite star in the film. Therefore, such scenes should not be used as much as possible. Even if you have to tell about the damage. Adults should never smoke in front of children. Care should be taken so that it does not become a normal thing for children. Smoking should be avoided in social festivals. Awareness should be created by organizing various anti-smoking programs in educational institutions. We have to build a nationwide social movement against smoking.

Some say people are slaves to habit. But in reality man is never a slave to habit. People can give up any of their habits if they want to. So if someone can't quit smoking just because of habit, it must be understood that it is his personal weakness. Smoking kills people and kills them. So smokers should stop smoking by any means. Anyone can prevent smoking and keep themselves away from poisoning if they do not consciously and firmly say no to smoking
