A report says 'One in five professionals of any corporate firm smoke. Of these, one in five does not want to quit!'

I have never understood this obsession and I do not know if I ever will. What makes a person smoke.. Perhaps I do not want to know as well.. Let us list how and why should one quit smoking.

For family

idea posted by Bindu Narayan Product Development Manager, Care Biomedicals

I do not know how many men and women know that smoking harms their marriage life. It has negative effects on hormones and your chances of becoming parents become less. Passive smoking is harmful for a pregnant woman and similarly it is harmful for kids. If not for oneself one should do it for the family.

The problem is that smokers,at least,those who are addicted to it and haven't been affected by cancer yet,have a fatalistic attitude towards life,which is somewhat like this,everyone has to die,one day,if not today,then tomorrow,hence 'enjoy' and pop off,goes the logic.Only when they actually realise that they may really pop off after incurring cancer does the change of heart comes.I've yet to see a lung cancer affected patient due to smoking,come anywhere near a cigarette.

Hey,

A known fact in a well developed country. But, it is a mania driven- act, called a Snobbery of groups that drives them smoking. Reason, they only know.

FAMILY MATTERS A LOT......

idea posted by Sairam. M System Administrator

WHATEVER WE DO IN OUR LIVES IT IS FOR OUR FAMILY, OF COURSE.

FOR SOME MEN IT HAS BECOME A KIND OF FLAMBOYANCE CONSIDER IT AS GRANDSTANDING, EITHER BEING UNMINDFUL OF ITS HARM OR AWARE THEY JUST DO NOT CARE. IT HAS EVEN AFFECTED THE LIVES OF MANY NOT ONLY MARRIED PEOPLE BUT SINGLES TOO. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE LOST LIVES AND IT HAS DIRECTLY CAST A SHADOW ON THE FAMILY.

THE IMPORTANT QUESTION TO BE RAISED IS,

WHERE DOES THE REJOICE LIE IN SMOKING?


I THINK ITS AN ENIGNMATIC QUESTION, ONLY SMOKERS THEMSELVES CAN ANSWER.

YEAH I DO SEE EYE-TO-EYE WITH YOUR COMMENT.

THANKS FOR THE INVITE....

we all know that smoking is harmful but still many of us smoke. Qestion is WHY??? smokers do have certain answers for that: 1) It soothes mind 2) Feel lost in my own self (as smoke is all i am) 3) Tashan and how off 4)relaxing ....and the list continues. To know the real answer i also smoked one day... and this is what I felt: strong irritation in the nose and burning sensation in the throat, followed by little bit of nauseating feeling after which i felt like doing nothing and thinking nothing for 10 to 20 minutes. after that i was planning how to get rid of the fragrance coming out of my mouth. But the experiment succeeded and i got my answer: Smoking gives pathetic feeling but still many smoke. they think that the nauseating feeling for 10 minutes when they donot think anything is the JANNAT time.....in corporate pressure.

Governmental Revenues are on the rise

idea posted by V. Srinivas Freelancer, Information Technology
Inspite of all efforts by the Government(?) and people, iy is seen that the revenues from taxes on smoking(and drinking) are on a upward curve. The Government gets its revenue. That is all that they are bothered about. They (Political Parties) also get a lot of "donations" from the smoking /drinking lobby, Barely disguised cigarette/liquor adverts are released to promote this habit

Reinvent family values

idea posted by Mohammad Bakhsh Project Leader/Managing Consultant, Freelancer
I find this one most effective antidote to prevent smoking. The smoking has started as a relaxation which has turned in to habit of thousands.The ill effects are many and dangerous.At least family get together may provide necessary respite and in the log run to quit smoking.The values of joint family system has to be reinvented.
