Health minister declared that all places of work in India will be tobacco free. All the government offices are already non-smoking areas. Some of the titles seen in the Indian news papers are given below:
1. Smoking may help to ward off Parkinson’s disease.
2. Anti-smoking pill curbs drinking.
3. Smokers lose more muscle in old age.
4. Cancers such as lung cancer, throat cancer, breast cancer s in humans could be related to the consumption of tobacco.
5. Smoking may bring on early menopause with increased risk of heart disease.
6. Smoking affects sex life, bad for good sex.
7. Smoking? Students could be low on Emotional intelligence.
Instead of imposing half-hearted prohibition on tobacco consumption, good money should be spent on the education of the masses and bring-in awareness about its ill-effects on health, starting at school level. Television can serve as a powerful medium for such purposes. World community should wake up to save the young generation from the ills of tobacco smoking.
