SMOKING ??????????????

Nice to hear that the government is making some two pennies in excise duty and in th esame breath spending huge sums on advertising against the use of cigarettes. And what to talk of the huge spends that go in healthcare.
 
smoking should be banned in publlic places..but what is important is the execution how it can be done..
who is responsible for cathching these smokers at public places..
only just by creating a law there wont be any effects..
the law shud be ENFORCED strictly..

i aslo feel banning ssmoking @ places such as societies, parks,quaridors, lifts in the society area.. were small kids play around...

i agree with your viewpoint as in public places mainly in buses we can't help it if someone is smoking so its better it is banned in public places..
 
in my views its good to ban publically smokiking becoz in india the tobbaco product are easily available thats its encourage the adictiveness.
 
Public places I dont see the harm in smoking on the road. But in a pub or enclosed area then yes because thats when it can affect those around them.
But most of these places have special smoking zones so if by public you mean the roads then i don't see why a person cant do so.
 
Smoking causes a range of diseases never before suspected, including cataracts, acute myeloid leukemia and cervical, kidney, pancreatic and stomach cancers. In fact, smoking affects virtually every organ of the body. It has been known since decades that smoking is bad for health, but the current report shows that it's even worse.
 
Hello friends


I was reading the previous posts & came across high criticism from people trying to support the ban.

I would like to say
1) Did u wake up 1 fine day to realise that smoking kills. If it is so harmful then why was it not banned earlier. Bcoz govt earns through taxes.
2) If a ban is to be implemented why is it not been applied in the correct sense.
Why is smoking banned & not cigarettes? Bcoz govt cant bear the loses of taxes & Secondly employment.
The ban was just a mimic(stunt) to gain public support.
I have seen policemen smoking in public after the ban is imposed
3) For my friends who say second hand smoke (passive smoking) is harmful so it should be banned. Guys most of u use cars or bikes. The amount of pollution it causes is way beyond what cigarette smoke does.
so what has the govt done abt it .
I dont say it should be banned,
but does govt emphasize on PUC apart from the metros. the ans is NO.
The PUC machines are so old that it gives pollution under control certificate to a non polluting vehicle.
Infact apart from metros people dont even know whats a PUC.

What is the use of imposing bharat3 norms & Euro4 norms if the old vehicles are not fazed out?

4) To my friend who say abt alternative measures for the smoke of vehicles there are alternative measures like electric cars ......
DO YOU USE THEM ???????????????????
No. so it is not that u are highly concerned abt others health but u are just supporting it bcoz u dont smoke ...

Lastly my point is not that people should smoke or not.

I AGREE IT IS HARMFUL FOR HEALTH.

But things should be done by choice & not by force.
This is a democratic country & everyone has its right.
If the govt wants to ban this activity then they also need to ban other activities as well.

No personal grudges ......
 
Forgot to add 1 more thing that
for some friend of mine has written a post regarding having dinner with puff of smoke around.
Friend there can be sections in a restaurant on the basis of smokers & non smokers.
 
Hey!

First thing i would like to say is Smoking is Injurious to Health.

Secondly, i agree that smoking can't be banned on one fine day.

But efforts should be put from our side to first make the non-smokers be firm on thier decision not to smoke, and slowly n surely we can curb the smoking habit of the smokers and make them to non-smokers.

Its a vision which we,as youngsters should create to make our country a better place to live in and these are the small-small steps which can lead to accomplish our vision.

So the first step is "To stop smoking at public places."

{Don't always think, do act. It's not necessary that the world will change in one second, it takes years to change the system. Just do Ur duty.}

GUYS I WAS SMOKING AROUND 30 CIGS A DAY FOR 10 YEARS. AND I JUST QUIT SMOKING A 3 YEARS BACK. I DID IT IN A DAY. THE CRUCIAL FACTOR WAS WHETHER I WAS SERIOUS ABOUT QUITTIN OR NOT. WHAT I DID WAS EVERY MORNING MY FIRST DEED WAS TO SEE A VIDEO ABOUT WHAT SMOKIN DOES TO UR LUNGS,COCK,HEART,BRAIN...SHIT EVERY DAMN THING IN YOUR BODY. IT HELPED ME KEEP OF THE INITIAL CRAVINGS WHICH MAKE U A BIT PSYCHED FOR THE FIRST 3-4 WEEKS. AFTER WHICH I STARTED JOGGING...COULD NOT RUN A MILE WITHOUT KILLING MYSELF HALF....STEP BY STEP...NOWADAYS I JUST STAY AWAY FROM SMOKIN AREAS...OR PASSIVE SMOKE... AND AM FEELING A FREAKING LOT BETTER....PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY...ALTHOUGH WHEN I TAKE A DRINK...I STILL HAVE SUB CON...EFFORTS TO SMOKE...
 
i smoke everyday and trying to quit it..but its difficult to do it in one single day..i have reduced my cigarettes to one-a-day..now my present target is two-a-week...then once-a-week........so this way i think i will quit it safely.........
 
I am smoking 20 cigs a day for the last 7yrs .......... have attended quit smoking seminars, a friend bought me a cd from some institution in london that shows how cigrattes are made how they affect u .... the condition of lungs of a smoker & a non smoker ...
But stilll i am not being able to reduce to a packet a day ..... Dude what u did is gr8. not everyone can do it .......... & the main point I want to focus is that Ban on smoking was just a stunt & nothing else ....
 
& my main point is why ban smoking ....... ban cigarettes altogether ........ If a cigarette
is not available people will quit as it is everyone wants to quit but cant quit.


why leave the gun & then cry if someone shoots with it
