Smoking is one of the most discussed topics in the world today. The main concern about smoking is that, it brings along several diseases, and also creates an unhealthy environment for the people around it. The cost of smoking in terms of health has a serious impact in the society today. . There are chances of several fatal diseases a smoker is likely to suffer from in comparison to a non-smoker sooner.
Today among the new generation, there are various social impacts and influences caused by smoking. Parents who smoke influence their children too, as children grow up in their parent’s social and cultural influence. In other words children whose parents smoke are more likely to smoke than children with a non-smoking parent. Smoking has also been a trend among the teens in the current generation, mostly among the high school students during a party or their social gathering. Nearly three thousand people die each year due to second-hand smoke. Smokers are most likely characterized to be negative by most of the people.
Although smoking and the health risks caused by it has been a serious issue, people tend to take it very lightly, usually smokers.
In my opinion, smoking is a bad habit and there should be several strict laws, rules and regulation, and education implied in school and colleges for its awareness.

I'm one of those odd children who grew up in a two-parent smoking home, but I don't smoke regularly. Neither parents smoked in my house growing up (Mom hates the smokey smell), and the smell has always made me get a headache. I'm thankful - it's way healthier AND cheaper on me!
ReplyDeleteMy old college in Arkansas had a rule where smokers couldn't smoke in front of buildings on campus. You had to be so many feet away from the front door, and they provided ashtrays to designate the correct distance from the door. Most students ignored the rule, though.
