We can meet people anywhere like in buses, parks and even shopping malls who smoke, even though of the rule which was passed in India that smoking in public places is not allowed, people don't pay any attention to it. All they do is smoke, not knowing what harm are they doing to themselves and even cause problems for people around them.

 The deadliest habit these days is SMOKING which is the most talked about these days and everyone knows what the harms of smoking are and many organizations are also set up which spread the awareness of harms of smoking and tobacco. Every cigarette we smoke takes away eight minutes of our life. Smoking is very harmful. For example if the mother smokes then the new born baby can have some born defects like underweight babies and premature babies. If we want to know how harmful smoking is then a person quoted that smoking is the deadliest habit which kills people twenty times more than murder. Now it is pretty obvious that if people want to lose their lives they can easily embrace this habit. Cancer may also be caused by smoking, for example: a woman had cancer only because she had been smoking from the age of 14 which is pretty astonishing. Smoking is mostly very dangerous to our lungs and causes many respiratory diseases. As we inhale the dangerous cigarette, we take in the toxic gas which affects the lungs directly. Some of the diseases especially like emphysema, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD, bronchitis are very common among smokers. We all would be also pretty shocked that many people who smoke are underage and they aren't even legal to practice this deadly habit. Many school kids also smoke mostly under the influence of their fellow students, many friends compel or force their friends to smoke and even make them believe that it is a cool habit and would make them look cool and it would attract the attention of the opposite sex.

We all are also familiar with ragging, where many college students rag their juniors to smoke and even if they disagree they make them feel inferior. Smoking also costs the people a great deal of money. The smokers spend a lot of money on buying these cigarettes which does them no good but in turn bring them a lot of harm. People who smoke can do a lot more better things in life like going to many different eating joints and enjoying with friends and family and living in this clean air. Many people also don't know that cigarettes contain Nicotine which is a very harmful chemical and can be found in the bodies of the smokers and even in breast milk. Smoking also causes bad breath which is very inconvenient for people in our surroundings. Smoking also ages us fast and causes wrinkles making our skin pale and our nails yellow. Smoking is considered as a slow way of dying. So people what are you waiting for, someone in your family might be at risk because of this deadly habit, so speak up raise you voice and protest against it !!
