Smoking's Ill Effects

“Smoking is injurious to health”, people of almost all age groups know this fact, but nobody wants to take a accept that almost 63 percent of the Bangalore public has this habit. "Lets have a smoke" is a common dialogue of the present generation these days. For some people it’s a mere fashion or custom to hang out with their friends with a cigarette in their hand, and for some others it’s a habit which they can't quit.

Why do you smoke? a question that leaves a lot of people puzzled, but yet no answers.This question can be answered in a rather simple manner . A lot of young individuals get into the habit of smoking when they are young, when they pass through their adolescence and the remaining catch the habit once they are done with their college life, but the facts suggest that almost 50 percent of them get into this habit when they are starting of their college life.

The initial habit of smoking is replaced by regular purchase of cigarettes to find out the pleasure of taking the smoke inside, this inturn leads to regular purchase of cigarettes and one doesn’t know when the effect becomes a habit. This inturn makes a vital influence on one's habit as regular use of cigarettes makes us socially vulnerable to other new things that can be tried out in course of time. The whole aspect of smoking is related to satisfying the peer pressure that one experiences through their college life and related groups which are formed at that point of time. A few people get over this habit only because of the continuous efforts of their loved ones and other people who have lost a lot, only because of this habit. And of course we all know public smoking is an offense.
